The red button isn't really a hi/lo range switch, its a switch for the 2-speed rear differential.

[@1SqueakyWheel]

.... which, in essence, made it a hi/lo range selector. Perhaps you meant to say that this isn't an "overdrive" switch, since the tranny is still at 1:1 in 5th, and it's only changing the final diff ratio.

[@farmalmta]

It's a hi/lo, and was referred to as such by those who had them and still is. We had an F600 grain truck with 391 FT and 4spd with the 2spd axle. The fact the hi/lo is at the differential has no bearing on how it's referred to.

[@ernestpassaro9663]

Power steering rare on a truck that old

[@leonstefan6183]

On a working truck the 2 speed isn't so much 2 speeds . (High and low speed) Its more like low speed then really low speed. Also that 534 with proper gearing will pass everything on the road, except gas stations .

[@Richard-Allen]

As a real farmer in Minnesota I am quite familiar with these heavy duty gas cab and chassis trucks with a grain bed. We have a 1975 IHC Loadstar 1600 with a tilting grain master box, it's powered by an international gasoline motor (I forget the model of the motor, it's not the original one, that's long used up).

[@robwhite3241]

Is it a 345 v8? Thats what we've got in our 1970 International grain truck

[@Richard-Allen]

@@robwhite3241 It could be, I know the motor came out of a 1970 loadstar 1600 snowplow that was in the salvage yard way back in 1984, I'd have to look when it comes back from the shop, it had to get a new radiator because we fixed the radiator but it went bad in a bad place and the fix didn't hold.

[@magnificenthonky]

Funny, I was coming to the comments to mention the same basic truck. We use our Lodestar as a seed truck; it has an auger on the back to fill the hoppers on the planter. That old truck isn't the prettiest thing, and she sure ain't in a hurry. It takes a couple of minutes to hit the top speed of about 55mph. It's got the 2 speed rear end, as the featured truck does, but I've never used it. As abused as that truck has been, I'm afraid that if I try it, the rear end might blow out, lol. But, it's easier to drive than my buddys 5 speed S10, and as long as you're not snatching gears, and treat the clutch and shifter with a little finesse, you'll have a trouble free drive from A to B.

[@Richard-Allen]

@@magnificenthonky Ours is in pretty nice shape but I attribute part of that to the steel grainmaster box and the tilting fiberglass hood, had it had a wooden box that would've rotted forever again, and had it had a metal hood vs. a fiberglass one I'm sure it would've long rusted. Our truck is pretty good to drive, it doesn't feel shaky, and believe me, I've been in some trucks that feel like the whole frame could fall out at any minute.

[@magnificenthonky]

@@Richard-Allen Ours has a steel box, too; Midwest, I think. Body wise, she's mostly in good shape. Minimal denting, a couple of small rust holes, but nothing too terrible. Problem is, maintenance has been greatly neglected, and repairs have been done done as cheaply as possible. You know, spit, chewing gum, bailing wire, and the like. None of the gauges work. Some of the wiring is old extension cord. The auger gets power through a household light switch (makes me wonder whose house is missing the switch, lol). The ride is relatively smooth, though, as yours is. IH got some things right, when it came to the suspension. Compared to most Ford, GM, or Dodge equivalents, the IH trucks ride like Cadillacs. Well, Cadillacs from the era when Cadillacs rode like Cadillacs, anyway.

The largest gas V8 ford ever put out was the GAA, an 18 liter tank motor. Although the 534 is probably the biggest engine put into a Ford vehicle.

[@christopherweise438]

[@richardbarkley9909]

Unless you're hauling HEAVY and/or climbing hills/mountains you can leave the rear end in HIGH range. I worked for a Nursery years ago hauling plants here in Florida with a '73 International Loadstar 1600 with the 2 speed rearend and we never used low range.

[@raystarky3896]

Cant believe how much the inside of the F950 interior looks the same as my F100 bench, gauges, doors.. I had the 1956 F600 (never heard of a F950) and it had the sane hand brake, the stick shifter had the 4spd + 2spd rearend of 4:88 high and 8:88 low (and it said so on the drivers door post) very fun to drive with really heavy load is to pull the RED BUTTON up/then go thru all the gears get it up to 25mph/ then go to neutral/ push the RED BUTTON down (to high rearend)/ the go to 3rd gear and finish to 4th at 60mph. I believe it had the 272 Y Block and Oil bath air filter. A Friend of mine who loves chevys absolutely fell in LOVE with the F600 power pull

[@muffs55mercury61]

This was the final year of this bodystyle that started in 1961. I worked for an outfit that had three of these. Two had 534 gas engines and the other a 361. The 534s were first manufactured in 1958. I learned to drive tractor-trailers and back into a tight dock in with one of these. Steering was by armstrong. I was sore for several days after. It's nice to see at least one of these has survived and is still out there.

[@DWK-ln9rm]

The Ford Louisville replaced these,I was thinking this was actually the N series,I have. 1969 F600 with a330 and there's Lots of room under the hood,course it was made to hold everything up to a 534, and 1100 series (predecessor to the 3208) Caterpillar

That is a fun transmission with that 2 spd dog splitter I learned that in 2 days during my Senior year in H.S. While working for the Rural township Highway department learning about road maintenance operating dump truck to do gravel spreading & Coal patch repair & operating John Deere mowing tractors & Back Hoes I learned that type of transmission on the 1969 international single axle 2070 A FleetStar gas engine Dump truck a tip for you on down shifting you have to rev it between gears example like going from 5th to 4th or 4th to 3rd or 3rd to 2nd and you can split on the downshifts too as long as you downshift the stick before you Dog Split it down example you would downshift the stick from 5th high to 4th high then you would simultaneously Push the Dog splitter down and give the foot feed a quick rev and you would be in 4th Low then you pull that Dog Splitter up into high ratio give a quick rev while systematically shifting into 3rd high then push that dog down quick rev now your in 3rd low you should have it down to a Art form by the end of the day by the end of the second day you should be equal to a 30 year Pro ! Remember practice practice practice that’s how you get to Carnegie Hall and have fun with it master that gear box that’s the problem with a lot of of new drivers they’re lazy and don’t want to put the effort into developeing the skill they whine oh mommy I need an automatic I hate these new wheel holders they just want to ride & listen to music & the GPS toy because no one want to learn any MAP reading skills LOL!!

Brings me back to when I was younger when my dad had a 1971 Ford F-600 Uhaul with the 24 foot box Drove it for the first time when I was 13 lol Was one of the greatest days of my life Also Ford did make a bigger gas V8, but it was for the Sherman tank in WW2 The Ford GAA Look it up, as it is amazing how enormous, and ahead of its time it was with DOHC, flat plane crank, and all aluminum block and heads! (Actually the Sherman has several engines, all of which are very interesting. A rabbit hole absolutely worth going down) Take care!

Since you mention it, Shermans got powerplants from all of the Big Three. Ford V8, Detroit Diesel (GM owned at the time), and the Chrysler Multibank.

[@kimmorrison9169]

Super Duty 950’s were pretty heavy duty back then. One step up was the SD 1000 which offered a small diesel as well as the gas 534. These gas engines had a pretty good roar to them rolling up steep hills in tandem axle dump bodies fully loaded with dirt. Slow and noisy! Remember them well.

[@roberttreadwell3252]

I had a 1969 F250 4x4 highboy with a 360 2 barrel carb.. Not fast of of the line but proved itself in Wyoming on our ranch. It had tons of low rang pulling power. Note, Chevy Gmc and Dodge all had the same power trains as my truck . They were all 3/4 ton trucks

[@CDeuce152]

I rode in one used as a moving van/box truck. A family friend was moving across town and was borrowing it from a friend. My brother and I slept in the cab on the way to their new house. This was about late 83 maybe early 84, so I was about 3 or 4 at the time while my brother was around a year at the earliest.

Awesome truck! Quite a few carryover parts from the mid 60's. My '66 F100 has the same doors, cab (aside from the bubble roof), hood and interior.

[@kbittorf335]

Great video! I did not see you shift that 2 speed axle! As a fire truck it was fully loaded most of the time. Split shifting with the 2 speed most likely helped increase speed when responding to emergencies. However, a lot of volunteer fire departments would delete the 2 speed as it was confusing to operate for most volunteers. The cabs of those series trucks were raised around 1965 I believe to offer more headroom. This was the last year before the Louisville line came out.

Some of those 5 speeds with the 2 speed axles, the ratios may go 4 lo, 5 lo, 4 hi, 5 hi. Not all are like that, but a lot are. All the other gears still go 1 lo/hi, 2 lo/hi, 3 lo/hi.

The jurisdiction I live in bought dozens of these for rural forest fire trucks back in 1969 and they were kept in service in great condition until the mid 2000’s before being sold off. I still see them around often with the fire body removed as people are using them for all kinds of things.

[@arvbergstedt3303]

IHC had a 549 cu inch gas engine. Very good gas mileage and good power. 2 speed rear axles were ok when you get used to shifting. Down shift. Push clutch quickly. Up shift. Let up on gas till you felt it shift. Could really grind in differential if you did it wrong.

[@J.R.in_WV]

There was one Ford V8 larger than the 534…..it was an engine they built for tanks in WW2, the “GAA V8”….1,100 Cubic inches, over twice the displacement of the 534. They were overhead camshaft engines with 4 valves per cylinder. Pretty wild stuff for the 1940’s. By 1969 Gas engines weren’t really the preference in heavy trucks, lighter single axle jobs like the one you’re driving they were still somewhat popular but mostly because they were REAL cheap, gas was REAL cheap and the gas engines were easy enough to work on that if you could work on a car you could work on them. The diesels were already king on the highways by the late 60’s though, Cummins had been out with their 855 “Small Cam” engines for quite a while by then and they came up to 335 HP, CAT had just entered the truck market with the medium duty 1150 Diesel (what would later become the 3208), the lower powered HD 1674 engines, and the top of the line 380+hp 1693 “big bore” diesel, and GM/Detroit had been building their inline 6-71 since 1938 and the V-71’s came out at the start of the 60’s, going from the 238hp 6V71 up to a 318Hp 8V and the big dog, top of the heap engine…the 12V71, factory rated at 435-475 HP in truck applications. These were the choice of most trucking companies and owner operators who ran their trucks every day and really put some miles on them. Those big diesels with removable liners really changed the game entirely. Similar or More useable power, better fuel economy, and the short block could easily do a million miles plus with a few “in-frame” rebuilds and never come out of the truck.

[@reedsilvesan2197]

The 534 was infamous for parts parting, namely rods from either rod failure or rod bolt failure, both are fatal to the engine. Keep the RPMs down (below 3200) as this will hopefully help somewhat.

[@charlesnorris9015]

My uncle had a 1971 900 tandem with the 534 5 and 4 transmission and 38000 lb SQHD rears in it. He hauled 30 ton of stone every day 10 loads a day. All he ever did was change the oil spark plugs and points. Grease it every weekend . It went 345000 and he knocked a piston skirt off it. Put a new piston in it and ran it till 1985 and bought a new mack diesel. He hated that mack. He said it made him get drunk every day. I dont know what his excuse the other 30 years as he got drunk every day then.

[@shannonburns6724]

Near where I lived in New Jersey growing up in the 1960's, a trucking company had in part a fleet of gas engine Ford dump trucks. They were 1964 or so models, had 2 rear axles. Likely their were 72,000 Lbs GW but likely ran higher in real life with gravel and asphalt. The balance of their fleet were Autocars with diesels. I bet they got 2-4 MPG when loaded.

Back when the world was young I worked as shop sweeper and go-fer for a construction company. In a back room on the floor was the biggest honking gas engine I've ever seen. I should have asked what brand and cubic inch it was, but at the time it was just part of the scenery.

[@RIVERSIDEREVIEWS]

My first large Ford was a 1980s era bluebird school bus conversion. A driven RVs before such as Winnebago and allegros but on the scale that bus was 24,000LB. Took some getting used to but after awhile it was like any other car… top speed was maybe 55mph or 60mph if you had a long road to wind her out.

The starting key is on the left, like a Porsche. Of course we all know that was made for Le Mans. You run to your car - the 'Le Mans start' - , you forget about your seatbelts, so left hand starts the car, and right puts it into gears. So this definitely is a Le Mans truck.

Ford did make a larger V-8 than the 477/534. It was the GAA, I believe it was 1091 cu. in. All aluminum. When we were kids, our dad had a Sterling T-26 wheeled recovery military unit. It had the GAA, weighed about 66 K pounds. It could lift and drive a TD-20 dozer on the hook.

[@johnw2026]

No anti-lock on the brakes. So you always HOPE TO GOD nobody pulls in front of you, because slamming on the brakes means likely locking them up and leaving skid marks, and possibly not having room enough to stop. Edit: I wish I'd known about this guy 10 years ago. On the farm where I work we used to have an old litter truck, I think it was an International, was made back around 1960, and we were still using it for it's intended purpose right up until it was sold.
