Drove one of these bad boys a few times in snowstorms to Portland Maine and back ,, talk about tight azzz checks !! @Indecisi0n

The 270’s were awful

We have two left.

The twin screws were much nicer. We had single and twins that were very close by number and the twins shifted and drove so much better than the single axles.

Have only seen one twin screw old International and it was a 269. I drove an old 269 for close to three years and it was a crappy ride, but had a lot of power and could get a fully loaded set up to speed on a highway on ramp easily.

You ever drive the 5 speed cab over international?? That was a treat !!

Yep, but they were better than 5 spd cab over GMC's or Diamond Reo's.
But that was a long long time ago in a galaxy far away...

In the old days we drove GMC Astros.
The rivets were popping out of the cab.
The only thing "air ride" was the seat.

...and you all think you had/have it tough.

Those Astros needed a football field to do a u turn. They'd also spin around in June on rain just like ice in January.

Hell, they only had AM. FM wasn't even invented yet.

Sucks learning on one because if you had to think about the next downshift you were already 3 behind....
