Chevrolet cabover semi trucks are super duper rare nowadays.

When we were kids in the 70's we would stop our bikes and climb on all the Chevy Titans at the dealer on Van Dyke in Warren MI (Detroit). My dad had trucking Co. I've been driving 40yrs

Thanks for sharing this! Awesome cabover! Love the sound of a Detroit! When I was a kid this was my favorite brand of truck.

I’m going to say it’s an 8V 71 with a turbo, that was advertised as a 350 hp. The trailer is what we called a tri axle with 8ft spread. You could licence into Michigan at 117,000 lbs with that. You lifted the front axle when empty or turning corners. I had one that was all on air, it was a nice trailer to pull especially with my Hendrickson Extended leaf suspension on my 76 K 100. You didn’t feel the trailer back there as far as ride went. The spread axle was a bit dodgy on ice slick roads, but with over a 100,000 gross you lift the axle up, and run sensible for the road conditions it felt pretty solid. Keep your 5th wheel greased. Never drove an Astro / Titan but the wrap around dash was quite innovative I thought.

Sounds like 6-71 or perhaps a 6V92 I'm guessing. Astros and Titans are the most beautiful cabover trucks ever, and I heard that Larry Shinoda was involved with their design!

No. Thats an 8v. Either a 71 or a 92. More than likely a 71.

Actually, ICL didn’t go “belly up”.....They sold out to Yellow Freight who had no interest in anything but LTL....The remaining 75 brokers on ICL started IFS out of Tilbury with terminals in Oshawa and St Catherine’s, ON. Please don’t ever confuse IFS w ICI....No connection whatsoever! Thanks for the video...we enjoyed a walk down memory lane.

To me, that music kind of fits the scene. I think it's The Band, playing Wheat, Rice, and Wine. But I'd rather hear that Screaming Jimmy for this video.
