My father drove several when I was young and we would often ride along. This came with a 318 Detroit but now has a 400 big cam and a double overdrive 13 speed. It supposedly would go over 110mph. Who would want to do that with no front brakes? Mike.

BillyT Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Is that a 9670? Drove a few of them for Waite Inc (hurry up and wait!) Hauling US Mail passed three of our tractors broken down on the Pa turnpike from Pittsburgh to Philly! This was 1976 they still had a gas burner in the fleet!

The 4070B with square headlight surrounds came out in ‘73. The 9670 did come out until ‘81. They are much more square. Mike.

We had 8 4070's leased to International Parts Group in '73 and in late '74 add 3 more which were 4070B's. This is a pic of the 1st eight. units 280-287. 288-290 were the B's added to the fleet the following year. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/60026-any-old-ih-truck-guys-here%E2%80%99s/page/3/#findComment-439306 Share on other sites More sharing options...

What compressor; York, Frigidaire, Sanden? None are difficult but really not cost effective to do. I'd replace with a modern seven cylinder Sanden unit as they are very reliable if installed and oil charged correctly.

Rob Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Most likely was a York as they were the most common through the 1970's. Easy compressor to rebuild but the quality of the rebuild parts can be questionable. Aftermarket replacements are "spotty" in longevity and a Sanden compressor is an easy adaption with conversion brackets readily available. The Sanden takes less power to run also.

66dc75 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Old school 100 year old moving company. Been renting my shop from them for 14 years, decent people to deal with. They were pretty much 100% IH fleet. 1 more year and that truck could get antique plates on it.

Popular Post storkmack Posted March 21, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2021 76/78? 4300. Don’t know if it is a glider yet. At one time I had a KW that was a 66/68 so, I guess it can be a thing. Anyways, 400 Cummins with Jake’s and a 13 sp. haven’t had it running yet. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/60026-any-old-ih-truck-guys-here%E2%80%99s/page/3/#findComment-471168 Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehummell Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 That 4300 look like the same model I had to keep running for my boss 350 cummins 13 sp. back in the dark ages the truck would of been a good one but it was run to death and put away wet by the time I got to it.
