This 1973 International Harvester Loadstar is a dually single cab
that is said to have been used as a Northwestern Pacific railroad
service truck as well as part of an olive field fleet in Corning,
California prior to the seller's acquisition in 2017. The truck is
finished in satin black over gray and powered by a 383ci stroker V8
paired with a four-speed 700R4 automatic transmission. Features
include custom bed bodywork with integrated rear taillamps, air
ride suspension with a Viair compressor, axles from an
International truck, power steering and brakes, a front bench seat,
an Auto Meter gauge set, and four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes. This
Loadstar is offered with an Oregon title.
The truck cab has been refinished in satin black and fitted with
the custom fabricated bed. Exterior features include amber
clearance lights, side-exit dual exhaust below the bed, sidesteps,
towing mirrors, and a silver front bumper. The bodywork on the
bedside is wavy and holes are present on the leading edge of the
rear wheel flare.
The 22.5? polished Alcoa wheels wear 245/75 Toyo M154 tires up
front and 235/80 Michelin X tires out back. Braking is handled by
power-assisted four-wheel discs. The truck features a custom air
suspension with Firestone airbags and a Viair compressor integrated
into the front and rear axles which are said to be from a 2000
International truck. An air leak in the suspension was repaired
within the last six months.
The cabin features a bench seat trimmed in black vinyl with gray
cloth patterned inserts joined by matching carpets and door trim
panels. Interior features include a lockable glovebox and crank
windows.
The four-spoke steering wheel frames an Auto Meter gauge set with a
120-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary
instrumentation. The five-digit odometer shows 1,400 miles, and the
seller has added approximately 2,000 miles since 2017. Total
mileage is unknown.
The truck is powered by a replacement 383ci stroker V8 which
features a Holley carburetor, Edelbrock air cleaner, headers, MSD
electronic ignition and spark plug wires, and "383 Stroker" script
valve covers. The vehicle is equipped with a custom exhaust system
with Flowmaster mufflers. The oil was changed in preparation for
sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed 700R4 automatic
transmission.
