Really love how you helped out your fellow employee on buying his first truck. I thought it was an extremely wholesome experience and you taught him (and myself) a shit ton. Would love to have someone help me out in that way
I think it was the kid at the end filming. Who now owes him $1200 for the drone. 😂
yeahhh,he helped his worker into a brand new vehicle that lost how much value the second he drove it off the lot??
sorry,but dropping 40k on a 2wd ford pickup doesnt strike me as a deal in any way.
if he had really cared about his worker,
he would have steered him into a used truck,in vgc at Far less of a price.
keep in mind richards way of life is dealing in used vehicles,
and he knows the value drops of new versus used.
just my opinion.
Yep. Find the used vehicle that you want with the mileage you want.
Find 3 or 4 different units at different dealers and play them against each other for the best deal. But end up with the one that you really like.
@@RobsMusicBox with the way the car market it his truck is worth 50k right now and is in the money..... Also, buying a used car is a GAMBLE, they DO BLOW UP as soon as you drive away sometimes.
@@williamperez2209 lets logic this out,if he had purchased a used vehicle From the dealership he would Also buy an extended warranty for said vehicle would he not??...even with that added expense,he would have been cheaper buying used....my point still stands....also i dont know of anyone else paying 50 grand for 2wd fords atm,altho im Sure there are suckers buying them.
I'm 26 years old I remember learning how to drive the old farm rig at age 9 in a 56 Kenworth needle nose with a 5&4 twin sticks in it
@E H my dad loves twin sticks
@E H Washington state
LOL i have drove a twin stick . Rawlings would had been right confused seeing that !!
We had a 75 C65 Chevy grain truck with a 5&4 with 427 powerplant.
I began learning in daddy's '77 Freightliner cabover.
If you were a kid back in the 70’s like me and Richard you will understand why he’s all excited! We had a lot of trucker movies like BJ and the Bear, Smokey and the Bandit, Convoy, Duel, Moving on and many more. I remember making them honk their horns while sitting in the back seat going down the highway. There was a lot of international rigs on the road around at that time. And everyone had a CB it was like our cell phones lol! Back in the day truck drivers looked like truck drivers, now they look like they’re going to the gym. Growing up in the 70’s and 80’s were the best decades!
Enjoy your new toy Richard!
"MOVIN ON" did it for me.Big impression to me to drive OTR! I still watch them on youtube !!
35 years of Driving and I took my first Road trip in an international Transtar like this. Corn Binder is what we call them on the CB.
13 letter shit spreader we them
No one:
Richard: Will it do a burnout?! 😂
No one said nothing... Hmmm so everyone said something?
Gentry and sons trucking has one
Aaaaand that comment? Comes from a dude that can't drive a split or standard transmission. Stick with your Prius. 🙄
More than you can imagine.
My first over the road truck was a trans star. International.
Would love to see a video of this build. Can only imagine the creativity that will be put into it.
I used to ride across country with my uncle. Good times, convoy is one of my favorite movies, reminds me of that Richard Rawlings 👍
Remember, on these old rigs you can crank up the fuel for lots of power if it hasn't been done already. Man that 13 speed (Eaton in my case) was a great bullet-proof trans. Should be fun!
my 1st driving experience with big rigs was in a 1981 International Harvester Transtar cabover with a 400 big cam Cummins 13 sp! Now I wanna watch the movies White Line Fever & Convoy
Stretching it to make a flatbed on the back would be hella rad🤙🏽. Can’t wait for this build!
Yes! With some DOD on the bed. Hell yeah!
How about a GMG toy hauler?
That's what I have and am restoring. 1980 4070B. Ole WA State Fisheries Truck #74.
Got my first CB radio from my sister and brother in law in 1974 for Christmas, a year before I had a pickup truck to put it in. Took up the handle of The Eveready Cat! CB is making a come back.
I look forward to seeing the end result of this project. Should be badass!!
I ditto what Richard said "I HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT!" LOL... Respect to all the truck drivers out there!
It’s easy to work out. Each gear as a low n high gear. Wen ur got Cruise control on u flip switch to low then it just go over the hill :)
"That's a big 10-4 ,,fat little buddy" remembering Rosco p Coltrane
Nice coolest thing I’ve ever seen you buy I think Richard !!! Your right we gotta save them all
Man what a great barn find with a 13speed. Most of those came with 9 or 10sp.
This guy was super nice to take the time to show Richard how to shift. I hope Richard paid him well!!!
Shifting is easy...it's all about the rpm range.
@@symbologee It is however I don't believe the buyer was getting any of it.
We're gonna need a video dedicated to Richard trying to learn the 13 speed.
Eaton has a video on how to shift any transmission they have
When I was five years old. My parents and I lived in Houston Texas. From 1976-1980. My dad and uncles all worked together for (roadrunner moving) sometimes after a good 30 minute rain storm the bayous would overflow and the city was under water. My dad and uncle would drive us around the city in the brand new cab over transtar because it had the stack exhaust and couldn’t suck up water and die. That old transtar brings back old memories. I love that truck.
man this brings back a memory or 2 .. born 73 watched convoy more times than id like to admit .hit 21 and got my hgv licence and never turned back . probably drove enough miles to go round the world a dozen times .. trucking its a love not a job ..
I remember driving those back in the day doing OTR , picked up strange chemical's out of queen's NY . Did California to Bangor Maine in that thing before going to the 379 pete .
Now you're talking. Diesel brother!
So pumped to find Gas Monkey again! Thought it was gone! Made my day...wooooo
Absolutely awesome rescuing an old truck. Best purchase ever. Following this
Brings back memories of the many hours spent in the cabs of the various trucks my Dad owned when I was a kid, made me long for those days a bit...and that was in the 1970's.
Yeah,I learnt to drive a truck in the 70's,in a 1975 International C1840, with a 392 cubic inch V8 petrol engine,had to change every gear up and down at 1750 RPM?
Likewise 😊
@@davemclaughlin8646 must have been slow as hell a gas engine !
@@ernestpassaro9663 , wrong there Ernest,could sit on 75-80 MPHR all day, getting 8 miles per gallon,empty or full,often having a 20 tonne grain bin full of wheat/ sorghum on board?
@@davemclaughlin8646 with a gasoline engine ?
Used to drive a 9 speed eaton. Learned to drive in a old cab over like this. Poor richards lost af lol.
Hahahaha. 9 speed... Go home boy!
I just watched a video on how the 13 speed works and it's not that complicated once you see it broken down slowly. But it is confusing when you first see it lol
I'm actually surprised he was that clueless. It's super simple really. Just intimidating from the outside looking in.
@@caldwellbrett6 Once I saw someone break it down in steps....I got it. But yeah first glance was kinda intimidating lol
Fucking beautiful!! Also reminds me of my childhood and riding down the open road with my grandpa.. Super easy transmission to figure out, he was just explaining it kinda weird. Super excited to see this build.
This raw footage is sooooooo much better, this cabover is pure gold
This is a great unexpected series I am looking forward to.
WOW talk about memories that was the first truck I ever learned how to drive !! Now you need to slam it and stretch it and some super slicks in the rear go get them GM GARAGE 👍
I'm 43 and I've been driving the last 21 year's and I love them old Cabover's. These are the kind of trucks my grandfather and my 2 older brothers drove back in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's🤟
Richard when your bobtailing, You don't need the low gears start off in 6th gear high. I drive by your shop everyday im gonna stop in and show you how to drive it like you stole it!!!
What if he's starting off on a hill
Sadly John ,,,, Richard doesn't even know why cab over trucks were ever built !
The teaching him to shift is well qualified
Its a piece of shit International could have bought a Pete, Kw or Freightliner or even out of desperation Volvo with a Cummings ISX
@@Ty81494 It's easy to tell when people don't know what their talking about. The first clue is when they can't spell Cummins.
International havester.😎 my dad drove one of these when I was a kid...used to work on it with him on weekends when he'd let me...👍🤘✌
Gives me flashbacks to when whistlin diesel destroyed one of these
I was gonna ask if anyone was getting frank vibes😂😂 someone should show Richard that video
Exactly. He’s going to ruin this truck.
I was gonna ask if this is same kind of semi 😂
Frank is still around. He just has a few leaks now 😆
Oh good old frank was a good truck
Braker. Braker, Convoy theme song still brings good memories😎🏁
I'm restoring a 1980 4070B right now also. Childhood dream too. Never even driven a semi before. I still haven't driven it yet, but will soon. Mine has a long flatbed that tilts. I'll be following you on this build. Thanks
I remember when I was a kid my uncle drove one like that. It was so cool getting to ride with him
Uncle Richard is like a little kid when he jumped in the semi.
Brought me back to my late teens.. second job trying to stay outta trouble.. delivering custom furniture with this crew... We had one...called it the "Green Monster" these was back in the Mid 90's
That green truck he built is everywhere! I know who used to drive it.
Okay..now I might start watching every episode again like back in the early fast n loud days..
Yeah but I’m guessing you’ll never see another episode shows you what becomes of this truck
That is one lucky find Man . I drove one of those in the early 1980's . Great trucks !
Can't wait to see this restored.
I learned how to drive on a gmc general 5 star. Twin stick setup and a third stick for the hi-lo rear end
Richard get you a drop deck trailer for it after you fix it up and you can haul cars with it 3 or 4 at a time easy.
I'm really glad to see this show still going even though it not on the TVs, CZcams you'll get alott more attention
Super stoked to see this develop into a GMG one of a kind. Can’t wait to see the burnouts.
IH! Baby! Yes! My grandpa used IH trucks to haul grain when he farmed thanks for bringing back the memories richard!
NICE! I WAS BORN IN 78. AND USE TI WATCH THE THE CONVOY ALL THE TIME. I GUESS 1 IF MY FAVE MOVIES WHEN I WAS A YOUNGSTER
2 gear shifts that takes 2 hands to shift would blow his mind
done it. learned in a 75 pete with 5x4 and a 300hp cummins. oll be putting a set in a retro semi im building.
It's easy Richard... imagine your std. H pattern stacked. the switch selects between stacks. The other switch is the splitter for the higher speeds.
Yep yep. The first time you drive it don't use the low gear and don't split the gears. So you'll have an eight speed if you run it that way. You don't need all the gears if your just bobtailing. Also, good luck learning how to float the gears.
This is a much more comprehendible explanation than what the driver was trying to explain, thanks.
What Eric said... It's easy.
Drove one of these and the long nose for 17 years. Got off the road about the time CDL's became law. The way people drive these days I don't miss it.
I hear ya.. Can you imagine what it's like nowadays with all these idiots going down the road and staring at their cell phones?..
So nice to see Terry show what he knows. Good dude! Good work, man!
hell yeah can't wait till see that rig finished up with a gas monkey garage magic.
Richard really calling this dude out who works for him 😂😂😂
1977 Freightliner is what my Dad taught me to drive back in the day 14yrs old drove for 36yrs until it was time to stop due to health it was a great ride! Hammer down!
My dad owned one of these, a burgundy red wrecker for our northern Ontario tow business. A lot of fond memories in that ole girl
Hell yeah Mr Terry rubbing elbows with Big R!!
Hey this was my idea! Make some cool rigs, you should get a kentworth or a peterbilt or a mack
I will be in town next weekend.. I use to work with Chris at SWAT. Been driving trucks for 20+ years. This is a good truck to customize. Convoy Style - Customizable.
Dad was a lifelong trucker, never got the bug myself, but understand them, doesn't take long to catch on. Much like the farm tractors we use.
One sure thing about it Richard, you keep it interesting. We never know what the hell you're going to do next. It was entertaining, I enjoyed it, thanks!
yeah if you're going to do it right really do an old school the transtar those 70s models old school cool.
other than the Kenworth aerodyne of the seventies AKA BJ and the Bear.
13 letter shit spreader son
Looks like My Uncle Richards old Rig, before He bought the 81 Pete. I drove the hell out of those Rigs. 33 years over the road. Zero Accidents retired now. Thanks for the memories.
7:40 Look at that pyrometer on the right, that shows how hot the turbo is getting. You drove by that, how long you held your foot in it in a climb. That was the the truck of it's day.
I’d like to see my 1963 Diamond T 931cn cabover redone some day!!!
The only thing WD ever destroyed that actually made me mad was one of these. It was a Hoosier drag tire truck in the 70’s.. Smh
Yeah he went to far that day
I really dislike the guy ever since
Richard, you know that everybody is a rookie one time or another in their life. You will get on to the shifting just fine, just practice. Enjoyed the tv show
I'm 35 and my dad drove a trans star just like it but blue and white it had a 318 Detroit in it we called it old smokey I loved that truck nothing like the sound it made love it
Can’t wait to see what you do to this Truck my dad use to drive a cab over
There's a reason why there isn't cabovers anymore.
I’m a current truck driver. Love the old trucks and love your show. Would love to own this truck.
I'll take the1973 Kenworth W900... with duel stacks....
Breaker, breaker 1-9 er.... 👍
Drove one over 20 years,mine had a Detroit Diesel and a 13 speed, best truck I ever drove
You never drove anything good then...
Ok thanks for the reply
wow this brings back memories i knew how to drive a big rig and could have passed the road test when i was 12, my dad had a small trucking company and on week ends i taught myself how to drive one. one of the trucks my dad had was a freightliner with a cummins 903 v8 13 speed and 4:88 rears at a light i could take most cars on the road.
Hey Richard, a rig with an auto transmission is called a coffee maker. Learn how to compound gears and appreciate the nostalgia.
Damn straight... nothing like a throttle jockey!!! That driving ..
If you drive an automatic? Please go back to Starbucks for your Latte.
PS Richard make sure you replace the muffler bearings also 😂
How about some winter air in them Texas tires?
5:45 lmao "I don't think its supposed to do that" HAHAHAHA
1976, I was 26 years old; drove a 1961 International Emeryville with a Cummins and a Fuller 5 Speed with a three speed splitter. I dreamed of driving a new truck like this International . Definitely brings back memories of interstate hauling and jabbering on channel 19😎
Once you've put a couple of thousand miles on one of those, you'll lose that enthusiasm for "cab-overs!"
Make sure everything in cab is secure!!!!
Apparently Tommy doesn't know much. Forgive Tommy for He knows Not what he says.
Tommy knows! I had a 9670 international don’t want to go back.
Amen, I drove a 9670 in the early 90's with an L10 Cummins, still hate cabovers to this day!
I know CABOVERS have like the worst ride ever !
Well if you need a driver I’m a retired truck driver am I 66 but I can’t handle the BS anymore
The perfect man for the job!
I am with you brother. I'm 55. I can't stand this new breed. They're stupid! Wrecking trucks every damn day.
@@frankwelling8536 Amen brother! You got that right 👍
I spent my summers as a kid in a rig just like that. Accept my dad's truck at a twin stick. I drive for a living now And I will definitely be watching this series. 👍👍
My father was a truck driver and had a cabover until the early 90's when he found out he was a diabetic. Then he became a Videographer and owned a video production company specializing in live uplinks and doing a lot of camera work for HBO sports, Oprah, Montel, Maury and also doing Industrial videos and local commercials and accidents and things like that for local news. He's met a lot of really good people and when he passed in 99 there was about 2000 people at his funeral.
When are we going to start seeing some builds in action?
Damn those gears are close like a freightliner
That was the first truck I owned and drove in 1981 was a very good truck had a small cam 350 Cummins and 390 rear ends, retired after 40 years enjoy your rebuild waiting to see what you guys do to it.
That truck brings back memories. The first ride in a big rig, was when i was 9 years old, it was when my dad took me with him to the grain elevator in Kansas City MO, in the Transtar he was driving for the soy bean farmer he was working for at the time. Though that was in 1973, the Transtar had changed very little.
Now this going to fun to watch 👍🇭🇲
Keep em coming my man, love these guys
My dad drove those, he loved cabovers!
My dad owned a ‘74 Transtar,,he hauled steel between Detroit and Gary,, pulled a set of doubles,,,he let me drive it when I was 15,,only when we were empty was when he let me drive,,was fun
Drive it like the TERMINATOR! That scene is badass! I have a feeling Rich is gonna lose money on this deal.
He’s explaining the gearbox ratios so badly lol.
My thoughts too. Daddy taught me a lot . He drove for fifty years before he retired. Of course when he started , you could start really young. But this guy's lesson was a bit over complicated 😂.
I just watched a video on how the 13 speed works and it's not that complicated once you see it broken down slowly. But it is confusing when you first see it lol
The mud flaps alone are worth 7500!!!!!!!!!!! Love it
That's what I learned how to drive a semi truck in ! My dad had three 77 international transtar II's ! A brown one a blue one and a green one!
"Complicated stuff" 😂
I watched a video on how the transmission works and it actually isnt that difficult when you see someone break it down and show you each gear. Alot easier to explain when you arent driving and trying to explain it.
I think Whistlin Diesel still might has his two glas panes on frank :D
WOW an International? Awesome man! Great find!
I cannot wait to what you all do with it!
Richard you got a diamond right there I my of been born in the 80s but I grew up in the trucking industry my dad my grandfather my great grandfather all drove the first thing my dad taught me to drive was a 1974 Peterbilt 359 with a 5x4 2 stick with a big cam 400 Cummins
RICHARD PLEASE PUT SOME 8IN BULL HAULER STACK'S ON IT PIMP IT OUT WITH A TON OF LIGHTS 20IN DROP VISOR BIG DROP BUMPER TO
I love Richard's excitement over this thing 😂
Loving the car hauler rig!! Flat top ♥️♥️♥️
Shifting is easy Richard you can do it!!
This was the semi i learned to drive! It was brown and orange but same paint scheme. Loved that old truck.....
