that 345 could not get out of it's own way! the 392 was better, and i would rather have a manual 5 speed!

@eh4891 I am a dyed-in-the-wool International fanatic!!! International builds in my opinion the BEST quality trucks and engines around, I currently own 3 mint condition 4x4 Travelalls, One is a '73 with a 345 V8 with an 750 cfm Holley carb and a 4 speed manual transmission and the other 2 are '74s with 392 V8s with 800 cfm Holley 4 barrel carbs and 3 speed automatic transmissions, I know that some Travelalls were built with AMC 401 V8 engines when International was running short on 392s, But th

Nice Loadstar!! Too bad it had been sold!! Other than the Loadstar school bus chassis, I've never seen a Loadstar chassis cab with an automatic transmission before!!

[wildwelder87]

very cool! never seen an old Loadstar with an auto tranny before just 5 speed manuals

[eh4891]

International is damn good at 2 things, trucks and Diesel engines especially the T-444 and the DT-466 and the 9.0 Liter V8 gas and Diesel

Hey Chad, you're an International guy like me, that's cool, I'm trying to get one of these myslef or even an International pickup. I drove a 1968 one of these once, an old grain truck same body same color, that 345 engine ran like a gem too. I saw your International busses and I see you know your IH info. You should make a video of those buses running. they are awesome. International is known for their school buses. Why do think there are so many around.

I learned how to drive on a truck like this one my ole man bought 1 from a Navy surplus sale back in 81 0r 82 she had minor body damage which was fixed brought back memories

I seen a couple of gas engined Loadstars here in Metro Vancouver.

One of the few trucks I never forget during my childhood. Just like the one from the video, but they don't have a factory cabs and the grille have "INTERNATIONAL" lettering on it.

Talk about an obscure song....this is really early Porter Wagoner...B side of Eat, Drink and be Merry.

Great song :-)

[retrochad]

Wow, do you have that record too? I was just looking at it again tonight, Eat Drink and be Merry, for tomorrow you will cry. I can't remember how that song goes though, mostly i have listened to "Squiggle" It's a 78 RPM record.

[Yourfriendbuddy]

Very nice old binder,Thanks for sharing Chad, I like the old tune as well..

[me748]

[bronco1523]

Thank´s for this video retrochad

[2000V6]

Chad, do you go to alot of classic car shows?

[retrochad]

No actually I haven't (but I probably would like to!), I have just gotten videos/pictures of cars I see for sale and might be interested in.

[spatsbear2]

Very nice!

[retrochad]

Thank you Spats!

Nice truck, I was so surprised when I saw it was an automatic. My uncle has a 1974 International with a 5&4 speed (Twin Stick) with a Big 549 Gas engine, I think it's a 2010 Fleetstar, it's a flat bed farm truck. He'd never sale that thing for a newer one.

[retrochad]

I have seen the Fleetstars...they look a lot like the Loadstars but extended somewhat to accomodate the larger engines. Wasn't the IH 9.0 diesel based on the IH 549 gas?

[IDIDieselJohn]

Yes, they sure are 9L=549cid but befor making the Diesel it was the 549 Gas and then they started making the 549 Diesel to save gas and less polution etc. the 549 Gas is such a beast though wow but it does only get 2 miles to the gallon empty (no load)

[Silverwolfstarz]

[retrochad]
