Back in the 70's there were some Internationals around here that looked like Emryvilles but weren't cabovers. They had the notched side widows ans a short stubby hood. The cabin appeared soewhat high and the were nicknamed "boots". What ere they? I';ve looked all over the web but couldn't find one.

And obviously this one at one time HAD a hood! :lol:

I found those by typing "1970 International Emeryville" into the Google Image search, and found the one with no hood, and clicked on the option when you open the image and it shows more little images and clicked the one that says "View More" and found the others. Sometimes it just takes digging a little deeper! :D

EDIT: I also just tried "International Transtar 400" like the trim on the dump truck has, that will lead you in the right direction also.

Yup those. It is funny, I had to put in "Emeryville conventionals " to get them. I also contacted an old trucker friend and he said he thinks they were called 400B. All question answered, thank you gentlemen.
