Back in the day I drove a 71 int with a 77 kw sleeper coast to coast .when you'd get tired you would crawl through the port hole get some sleep,it was a hell of a life

[@docholiday1034]

My first truck! 1972 4300 binder. No AC NO PS NO front brakes!DOT was always on my butt about that… but the line chart is right on the passenger seat door showing no front brakes. With a flatbed i was 25500 light weight. Started out with a 250 cummins. Put a built 380 small cam. At 20 years old is was my hot rod. Lots of loads of iron out of auburn steel to NEW ENGLAND. Ran NYTW a lot back in the day. 9500 bucks back in 78. That truck bought 2 homes for me. 👍👍👍

[@flintcreektransport]

Wow

[@kizerbread]

You know I've heard people say that if you run a truck that didn't come with front brakes to keep a copy of the build sheet to prove to DOT the truck did in fact not come with them! I can imagine getting an officer that doesn't know any better

Hey Justin in the mid 70s I drove a 4300 series day cab IH hauling mail for a postal contractor. It had a 350 Cummins a13 speed with a long wheelbase . Best truck the company had it never let me down compared to some other equipment they owned. I always looked forward to driving that particular tractor ! Good luck with your's!

A 4300 Eagle was TOP OF THE LINE

[@mintyman1968]

Yes to full on build... No to MATS. The old binders were work trucks, they are better left untouched when it comes to specification. Judging by the fact that this one has a visor, it was probably pretty sharp at one point. This is a 4200 also, which is a shorter hood than the 4300, so not anything ever built for show. It would be nice restored to original look with the frame stretched a touch longer and an International short bunk,.

[@nostreamavailable9090]

@@mintyman1968 I get your point, but all these trucks were built as working vehicles in the beginning weren't they, but yes you are right that some were made to be more dressy than others.

I would be cool to have Ol 2 Stroker stop by.

[@kizerbread]

Awesome find, 4200. 1974 is a fairly early one. Think they came out in 71. You could probably find a nicer aluminum cab to swap on. They used the same cab on various different models. You know the 4200 is the short hood vs a 4300. The Snyder aluminum fuel tanks were so cool, they didn't have plain ends, they were kind of like a bullseye. I bet the door tag says it was built in Fort Wayne Indiana

[@flintcreektransport]

[@user-vi9ud4hh1n]

That is a good score...... I have been a driver for 45 years. I was an owner operator from 1979 to 1990. During that time My truck was the first model year 1974 COE 4070 B. Factory ordered with a Detroit 8V-71 T Fuel squeezer. Set at 335 hp. I bought it used, with 147k on it. No. It did NOT stay thay way. The Awesome Transtar ll. My Dad had a COF 4070 A High Cab. The A model version to fit the Detroit 8V- 71 T. Or, the Cummins VT-903 turbocharged V-8's under the cab. Yep, there were 2 Turboed V-8's. But, there were more at that time. There was the 3408 Cat. And, The V-800 International engine. Both with their own inherent issues. But? The Cummins and Detroit ruled the roost on the V-8's with the Detroits easily in 1st place. Til the 8V-92's came out. People called them road oilers. My truck had the 84" BBC cab. My Dads, "After the PO laid it over" had the 88" BBC cab installed before we bought it. Both had Detroit 8V-71 T's in them..Your truck is absolutely rebuildable. And, you should do it. Here it a tip for the engine. If you decide to rebuild it. Change out the trunk type pistons for Crossheads. Put N-70 injectors in it and set them at 1.484 with your Detroit tune up kit. Use a large bearing blower from the 92 series engines. That will give you about 335 to 340 hp from that 318. Keep an eye on the heat. It will crack a head if you don't. Guess how I know?

[@flintcreektransport]

Ha. Right. Hate when that happens. I don’t plan on rebuilding. Hopefully it will run 😜

[@nostreamavailable9090]

[@badgerpa9]

Nice looking old rig, needs some work. Glad your mechanics took the safe road and want to look the motor over before starting it. Front brakes required July 25, 1980. Here is the pertinent code. 49cfr§ 393.42 Brakes required on all wheels. (a) Every commercial motor vehicle shall be equipped with brakes acting on all wheels. This requirement also applies to certain motor vehicles being towed in a driveaway-towaway operation, as follows: (1) Any motor vehicle towed by means of a tow-bar when another motor vehicle is full-mounted on the towed vehicle; and (2) Any saddlemount configuration with a fullmount. (b) Exception. (1) Trucks or truck tractors having three or more axles and manufactured before July 25, 1980, are not required to have brakes on the front wheels. However, these vehicles must meet the requirements of § 393.52. You can get the electronic CFR from the National Archive.

If it runs good, change out the injectors for something like N95 . That should get you to something like 425-450 HP. I'm willing to bet you are going to see a lot of dribbles from the air box drains. It might clear up if you run it hard a bit. If not it's p robably your blower shaft seals. The seals aren't expensive, and to change them is only a few hours labor. Some oil from the air box drains is normal, especially if you idle a lot. As the old guys always told me (and I'm 62) "A Detroit is designed to leak oil" .

I can tell by the way your guys we're working on it is there someone unfamiliar with it. And I don't mean that as an insult, it's just an engine that they stopped making around 30 years ago. The 60 series was an entirely different animal and it didn't have or need air box drains. In fact it didn't even have an air box

[@youtubeisawesome2487]

the injectors are in full fuel position when the engine shuts off, you DO NOT bar a two stroke over ever if you like your fingers, the c part of the injector rod will be at the injector body that is full fuel. if the c part is away from the body it is the off position, hook vice grips on the yoke to override the governor rod. best thing since you love cats is to sell the roots blower to a hot rodder and put a 3208 cat in it.
