I grew up in s-series trucks. My dad owned an excavation company and was a true IH guy. He is 82 years old still working still driving S-series trucks. He started with loadstar and fleetstars, had scouts as his company daily. I will never forget the day he brought home a single axle 1900 dump truck dt466 210hp with a true ten-speed road ranger, double frame, 35,000gvw, air ride seats, radio, AC, power steering. That’s was living large in 1984! He still has that truck to this day and two others another 1900 same spec just a long frame with a crane on it and a 1600 s/a dump truck. In all those years those trucks never broke down, never got towed, always started. To this day he tells people the best money he ever spent was on an s-series truck.

[@markdanielczyk944]

At age ten I knew the "S" series was my truck. Thirty eight years later(after waiting fifteen years for my truck to be deemed surplus) I finally got my 1987 S1900 with a DT466, 5+2, Dayton wheels, and 16,495 miles on the clock! Drove a 2000 4700 DT466 with an Allison auto for eighteen years (we still have it) still works everyday, still love that truck! My 2000 was replaced with a 2018 7400 Cummins L-9 with an Allison auto, man does that truck move! To date no problems! The problems we have had are with the Maxxforce DT engine emission systems, not the engines themselves. Thank you for saving and sharing this video!

They went all out with the music on this one - there's even a strange 'cut-and-shut' version of Johnny Pearson's _Heavy Action_ at 17:45 (better known to many as the old theme for NFL)...I presume that was to save on royalties, but I can't be sure.

I drove school buses many years ago I love the international diesels well built high quality and they just had a sound to them that I just loved.

[@MisterMikeTexas]

Our school busses were still gas in the 70s. I remember the newer ones were IH's with Allison automatics. The 4 speed Allison sound is what I remember, and the high-revving of the engine even in 4th. Must have been quite a low-geared rear axle.

[@danschneider9921]

Yep. I remember. Going from the Loadstars to these was like going from a Model A to the space shuttle. Funny enough 50 years later there are still both running around

The tractor stopping suddenly at 1:11 - 1:13 looks so cute, for some reason.

[@Life_of_A_Man]

My childhood bus was a 1981 Ward S-1700 with the 345 gas V8 and automatic transmission. I think it was the AT-540. I remember hearing the 392 V8s and I rode in one. They sounded really good, especially from the back as they pulled off. My favorite was the S-1800. The district I grew up in had several of them, all Bluebirds with the exception of 2 or 3 Carpenters. They got rid of those Carpenters and they drove some of those Bluebirds all the way until at least the 2007-2008 school year. I believe they had the big 404 gas V8. There was a 446 but I heard that one was rare. Now, the 404 V8 that was one beefy-sounding motor and the singing Allison automatic was a winning soundtrack. I was so jealous of other kids that got to ride on the S-1800s. I'm actually, looking for audio specifically of an S-1800 V8 gas bus with the Allison Automatic.

[@Drewsky840]

Is the sound you're looking for sound like this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXzYqpmso9OSqc0

[@belyear]

The 446 Big Blocks were pretty good engines. I ran them in tandem grain trucks in the late 90’s. We ran them foot to the floor very often revving over 4,000 rpm. The biggest engine problem we had was the craptactular Ford ignition boxes. We had a spare in both trucks. When one quit you’d switch with the one in the glove box and throw the dead one in the glove box.

[@micahgray1]

These are great trucks! Company I’m with we run fuel oil and we have one of these trucks still running like clock work.

[@joerose8105]

These S-Series were great trucks. Hard to kill an all mechanical DT-466 with a Spicer manual. Loved these old rigs!

[@oubrioko]

The S Series was so successful that International kept this cab shell design practically unchanged for 20+ years. Popular songs being remade into commercial jingles with new lyrics . . . Ahhh, those were the days: _More Than a Woman_ became _Here Comes Tomorrow_ for this promotional film. The _Monday Night Football_ theme music can be heard in there too. Thanks for a pleasant trip down memory lane.

It’s that parts commonality and interchangeability touched upon in the video. Build something that works, and there’s no need to change it all the time. Make it available across the model range, which keeps mechanics happy, parts plentiful, and costs lower across the board… Industrial vehicles sell by their utility, so regular styling and parts changes aren’t nearly as much of a focus as with passenger cars.

I rode the old loadstar school buses to elementary school.

[@lukestrawwalker]

Yep ours was an old Loadstar probably 345 V-8, with a 5 speed manual. I drove an 91 S-series bus for 9 years for the school district in the early 2000's... DT-466 with the Allison 540 automatic. She had a lot of miles on her and had been rebuilt at the prison and repainted so she looked like a new bus. Pretty solid and I didn't have any gripes, really. The DT-466 didn't have as much "get up-n-go RIGHT NOW!" as the 345 V-8 gassers did, and the manual transmission meant when you dumped the clutch and floored it back then you were hauling the mail RIGHT NOW! LOL:) The DT-466 with the automatic was a little "mushier"... I basically had two speeds in it... stopped and floorboarded LOL:) Automatic sure made picking up kids easier-- not all those shifts, but the downside was when one decided to crap out it was done and just left you sitting. Had that happen the first year I drove a bus, slushbox decided to crap out 10 miles from the school at the very beginning of the afternoon route, with about 60 kids aboard in 100 degree heat, and us with no AC. Had to wait an hour for them to bring me a sub bus... There was a big subsidence lake nearby full of alligators. Kids wanted off the bus because it was hot, which we couldn't do of course, though by the time that sub bus got there I was about ready to go take my chances with the alligators! LOL:) They brought me a POS 87-88 Ford bus with the predecessor to the 7.3 in it, NON-TURBO, first automatic school bus the district bought-- I rode it sometimes when I was a junior or senior and Dad needed the farm truck I usually drove to school. We thought it was something else back then, but then again I never had to drive it... TOTALLY LIMP!!! Floor it, count to five, the engine would START to wind up, count to five again, it would START to roll, *maybe* you'd get up to 45-50 in about a minute LOL:) Half the speed of smell was all she'd do LOL:) BUT it was the same powerplant and transmission they put in the F-350's back then, so I guess it's not surprising-- not a lot of guts for dragging around a 3 ton chassis with a bus body on it... BIL had a S-1900 DT-466 with a 13 speed in it and Hendrickson walking tandems in the back on springs... good old truck... sure beat the heck out of his brother's GMC Brigadier with a 350 and five speed with the two speed rear end. That thing DRANK gas and was pretty gutless. He had a 500 bushel box on it and it took me the five miles from where the country road out from their farm hit the main highway til I got to the edge of town to turn to go to the grain elevator to get up to speed... and all she'd do was about 45, *maybe* 50 loaded. She'd do 60 pinned to the floor coming back empty, but again took most of the way back to get up to speed LOL:) The DT-466 was a WAY better truck... nicer cab, seat, more comfortable, and a 600 bushel box on the back. Rode WAY better, and more power. It had been a mine truck before it was sold and turned into a grain truck by a previous owner, so it basically had a 5 speed with a granny gear and 3 ranges on the toggle air shifter... Basically you drove it like a ten speed because he told me one time, "you shift into low range you'll run all five gears before you get to the end of the driveway" and he was right-- I tried it one time with 600 bushels of corn on the back... 5 gears to get to walking pace. SO basically you just drove it 1-5 gear in the middle range and then toggled it to high range and ran 6-10... You never bothered putting it in low range with the air shift... if you were parked on a field margin and fully loaded, and the duals sank into the soil a few inches, you'd drop her in granny gear in mid-range and pull out onto the hard driveway or field road, then start shifting up into 1-5, preselect for high range, and then go back to first again (6-10). Drove real nice. He bought an International day cab N-series Cummins 10 speed and a steel 1000 bushel Drake hopper and then sold the S-1900... Now I drive the semi. That DT-466 would just walk off and leave that old 350 Chevy, but semi's would walk off and leave it fully loaded. There's just no substitute for cubic inches LOL:) 855 cubic inch Cummins vs. DT-466-- no contest LOL:) WAY more pep in the step! Later! OL J R :)

[@willbill808]

Sure! Just subscribed. Yes, we had two mid-80's International school buses, Routes 26 and 28. Route 26 was an International with a Thomas Built Buses body. It was longer, and I'm pretty sure was an S-1700. I don't quite remember the grille, but I do vividly remember an orange "/\ INTERNATIONAL" logo on the bottom right of the grille. I definitely remember the sound too. It had what sounded like a DT466. It had some pull. Route 28 was another International, this one I think was an S-1600. It was shorter and had a Carpenter body It definitely had one of the diesel V8's! I bet it was a 6.9 IDI. The loud, clattery idle was unmistakable. Plus, I loved when we got going in it. I thought it sounded like a muscle car, although I remember it being slow. It had the more industrial style yellow painted grille with various rounded slots. Both buses had a really cool air brake release sound. Made a noise like: Tsssh.... ert! Route 28 was the first to decommission sometime in the mid 2000's. Route 26 was around a few years longer. But, of course, now the buses are all new there.

[@Canada150Archive]

willbill808 Wow- we love love love reading your amazing comments and can't thank you enough for them... Please do keep em a comin!

[@lukestrawwalker]

@@willbill808 Yeah I drove a 91 S-series International with a DT-466 and Allison automatic. Nice bus. Not as peppy as the old 72 IH Loadstar with probably a 345 V-8 in it and five speed manual box when I was a kid. Both ran great though! Only problem I ever had with my DT-466 was when the water pump went. Course I noticed my temp needle would go up slowly, then drop back quickly, and I had the same thing happen in my Ford F150 a year or two before on a road trip right before the little hose taking hot coolant up to the heated throttle body popped... so I knew I had a leak SOMEWHERE since it was doing the same thing and it was usually steady as a rock. Well, I rolled the hood on it and started looking for coolant and didn't find any, but traced dried droplet marks back to the weep hole under the water pump. It was dry so I was like "Hmmm"... I got in and started it up and when I walked back around the water pump pulley and fan were wobbling like a top! Problem found-- water pump bearings taking a dump! I shut her down and rolled the hood back and latched it down, and did my maintenance write up. Since our mechanic was famous for not fixing ANYTHING until it blew up in someone's face and literally wouldn't move anymore, I took the maintenance write-up straight to my boss's office and hand delivered it, and explained EXACTLY what it was doing... "Can you drive it?" He asked. "Yeah...", I said, "BUT when that water pump bearing turns loose, it's gonna send that 3 foot diameter fan STRAIGHT THROUGH a thousand dollar radiator-- it only clears it by about an inch or so anyway... then you'll have to replace a radiator AND a $150 water pump" (or so). "Oh, okay... well, just keep driving it... I'll tell the mechanic to fix it when he can." I just shook my head and left. Sure enough about 5 days later about halfway through the morning route, I let off the accelerator to coast up to a turn, make the turn, and floor it again (they basically had two speeds with the Allison-- floored, or cruising, or idle if you were sitting I guess LOL:)) Anyway, I hear the unmistakable BUUUUZZZZZZZ!!!! of the fan eating into the radiator-- "bearing just let go" I thought to myself. Well, I was only about 3 miles from the school with one stop to go, and I didn't want to sit for an hour waiting for them to bring me a sub bus, like a couple years before when my Allison decided to die 10 miles from the school out on some ranch in 100 degree heat with 60 kids aboard... SO I watched my temp gauge and picked the last kid up and ran like a bandit for the school-- she just moved into the HOT range as it turned into the school. I'd already got on the CB when I was on the highway and told them to have me a sub bus ready to swap the kids onto-- my water pump dropped and I was coming in hot. We swapped buses and hit the road in about 2 minutes. Took them about 2 weeks to get a new radiator and water pump and fix it-- sure woulda been easier to just fix it right BEFORE it ate the radiator! BUT that's how the school was-- they don't care-- it's "taxpayer money" so who cares, right?? One of the things that always PO'd me working there. My old '66 Chevy grain truck, EVERY LIGHT had to work, horn blow, wipers in good shape, tires in good shape, brakes all check out (including safety brake), EVERYTHING had to be RIGHT to pass inspection... yet the school bus I was driving hauling up to 66 KIDS, well, half the clearance lights didn't work unless you tapped them with a broom, or bulbs burned out here and there, tires would be worn past the limits (nearly slick), some buses the horn didn't work, wipers would only be replaced when you couldn't see anymore... some of them leaked air SO BAD from the air brakes that they'd leak the tanks COMPLETELY EMPTY within about 2-3 minutes of parking the bus... but they were ALL still out on the routes! Heck I was following a bus one day on our rounds to the junior high and middle school for the afternoon pickup before the route, and the bus in front of me, his outer rear RH dual tire started wobbling and then the tire rolled right off the rim, down into the ditch in front of the school, and flopped over into the grass! LOL:) I called him on the radio and he didn't believe me til we pulled into the school and parked for the student pickup, and he got out and saw it, I got out and told him where his tire was and he better call for a sub bus because he couldn't run the route like that! It was crazy... But we had a LOT of stupid stuff like that happen! We got a new boss who was a completely inept turd and didn't know what he was doing, and his preferred way of running things was to fire someone about every six months, starting with anybody who figured out he was an incompetent turd and had his number, or knew what they were doing, or ever questioned him. I was the third one he canned, though by that point it was about mutual-- I was ready to quit anyway. It had been a decent place to work til he showed up. Oh well. Mine was a Thomas body... much nicer than the Carpenters IMHO. We still had some old Carpenters and Blue Birds from years earlier for sub buses (old retired route buses they kept around to fill in for regular route buses since the mechanic was lazy and mostly worthless and didn't believe in fixing ANYTHING if it could still move... and the boss let him get away with it (both bosses!) Later! OL J R :)

Very cool clip! The theme music used in this promotion is 'More Than a Woman' by the Bee Gees. Used in the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. lol International just wrote their own lyrics. It must have cost International a lot of money for the use of this song. And at 7:23, they used stock music very closely associated with the TV show, 'This Week in Baseball' with Mel Allen. If you watch late 70s clips of This Week in Baseball, you'll often hear that song played. I was in public school, when the S-Series was released. And the small town I grew up in, Perth, Ontario, Canada, had a large International dealership (Oakes). The dealer always was well stocked with a long row of S-Series. They also had an International Eagle Brougham or two. With the spectacular eagle graphics along the cab. I thought the 'S' Series were great looking trucks, very modern for the era. And as a kid, I thought the large variety of colours and exterior striping was especially cool. All the school buses in town were either GMCs, Chevs, or Loadstars, in the late 70s. No Fords. By 1981-1983, a number of S-Series school buses started to appear. They aged really well. Still looked modern decades later. Thanks for this great clip Canada 150 Archive!

I was still in special education in the 7th Grade in the mid-70s. We usually rode the "short bus", on the older IH chassis, shared with the Plan A departments at the middle school and the elementary school next door. One morning it was in the shop, so we got treated to a normal size new bus on the new or newer cowl/chassis. It ran nice and smooth yet still had the familiar sound, especially the Allison automatic.

The International S-Series S is for Springfield which the truck is built in Springfield, Ohio. The tucks were the S-1600, 1800, 1900 were medium duties. The S-2200, 2300 were heavy duty, S-2500 is equipped with a standard axle and the S-2600 is equipped with a setback axle. A lot of the trucks are still on the road.

I drove a 1987 s2375 280 hp l10 9 speed single axle tractor. s is best, blows new ones off the map. s is just functional as are all old internationals. its job and driver orientation is 1st class. in 1986 gas engines gone, international is always ahead of the curve. how about the s2375 with 60 inch bentz sleeper factory.

Is this the only heavy truck with a jingle?? And I thought I was a Mack guy.

[@davidmckee1676]

I want one.

[@sassymassey5002]

Bought a 1980 s1900 dt466 because of this video 😂🤣

[@paulspeakman551]

The S designation stood for Springfield, Ohio, my home town. My dad worked in the IH plants there from 1956 to 1970 when he retired.

@@Canada150Archive I wouldn't want to buy the gas for ANY of those LOL:) BIL's brother had an old 80's GMC Brigadier grain truck with a 350 I think and the 5 speed manual with the 2 speed rear end. It had two 35 gallon step tanks under the doors and I could make about 5, *maybe* 6 trips from the BIL's corn and soybean farm about 6-7 miles to the elevator in town and back, so round trip maybe 12-14 miles... then she'd need gas because you'd run out before you made another trip! LOL:) I drove that truck for 2 years after his brother got killed and I started helping him, and then he parked it the 3rd year-- couldn't afford gas for it. His SIL sold it the next year. His S-1900 DT-466 ten speed had a 600 bushel box, so 100 bushels more per load, and burned WAY less fuel even with us driving it like we stole it LOL:) (me and his son, whoever was available). My IH S-series school bus with a DT-466 and Allison automatic with a 66 passenger Thomas body got about 6 mpg I think... I had to drop it in line at the pumps every third day: I could make 6 *sometimes* 7 routes, but never 8. At one point I had a 45 mile bus route with about 60 kids and 20-30 stops. Later! OL J R :)

I drove one of those babies when it was brand spanking new back in 1983 always like that style cab how it had a DT466 I believe with the five-speed good City truck no air conditioning and no radio nowhere ride seat a bench which I like better you can stretch out while you were waiting to get unloaded
