Английская Википедия:International Loadstar
The International Loadstar is a series of trucks that were produced by International Harvester from 1962 to 1978.[1] The first product line of the company developed specifically as a medium-duty truck, the Loadstar was slotted between C-Line pickup trucks and the heavy-duty R-series. Following the discontinuation of the R-series, the Loadstar was slotted below the Fleetstar and Transtar conventionals.
Produced primarily as a straight truck, the Loadstar was developed primarily for applications such as local delivery, construction, and agriculture. Along with fire truck applications, the Loadstar was offered as a "Schoolmaster" cowled school bus chassis.
In 1978, International introduced the medium-duty S-Series, consolidating the Loadstar and Fleetstar into a single model family.[2]
Production and models
International manufactured a complete line of trucks and used few light and medium-duty vendor parts. A conservative company, components had long production runs without model year changes. The Loadstar itself changed very little over its sixteen year production run. Early models were recognizable by their grey grill, curved fenders and "butterfly" hood, but a squared-off one-piece fiberglass tilting hood was added to the line-up from model year 1972 onwards.[3]
Loadstar
Most Loadstars had a medium-duty 4x2 chassis, but 4x4, 6x4, and 6x6 models were also built. A four-door crew cab was also available. The cab, also used on the Fleetstar (during its first few years of production), had been introduced on the A-series in 1957.
Models included: Binder, 1600, 1700, 1750, 1800, F1800, 1850, and F1850, with the numbers indicating the size and weight rating of the model. The 1750 and 1850 had mid-range diesels. The 1600 and 1700 were available with 4x4, the F1800 and F1850 had tandem rear axles.
Loadstar CO
The Loadstar CO 1600, 1700, and 1800 were forward control cab-over-engine versions of the Loadstar, built from 1963 until 1970. They were available with loaded weights from Шаблон:Convert. For 1971, the Loadstar CO became the Cargostar, with a wider cab and larger grille; the model line would be produced through 1986.
Schoolmaster
The Schoolmaster 1603, 1703, 1803, and 1853 were cowl-chassis models used for school-bus type bodies, the 1853 was also available as a forward control bare chassis for flat-nosed bodies. The Schoolmaster had longer wheelbases available than the Loadstar, otherwise they were mechanically the same.
Design overview
Chassis
Models other than semi-tractors had vacuum assisted hydraulic drum brakes standard. Air over hydraulic and full air brakes were available. A driven front axle and tandem rear axles were available on some models (cab-over-engine models could have neither). Loaded weights were from Шаблон:Convert and up to Шаблон:Convert including trailers.[4]
Engines
Gasoline, CNG, and mid-range diesel engines were used. The short hood of the Loadstar meant that V-8 engines fit better than straight-six engines.
The V304/345/392 family was the primary engine of the Loadstar between 1962 and 1973. They are Шаблон:Convert overhead valve gasoline V8s. They developed Шаблон:Convert respectively. CNG V345s were also available. In 1962 the V304 was standard on the 1600 and 1700 while the V345 was standard on the 1800. On most models the next larger engine was optional. In 1974 the V345 became standard on the 1600.
The MV404 was introduced in 1974. It was a Шаблон:Convert overhead valve gasoline V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor. It developed Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert of torque. It became standard on the 1700 and 1800.
The BD264/282/308 family were the only inline-six cylinder gasoline engines offered. They were Шаблон:Convert and developed Шаблон:Convert respectively.
Mid-range diesels were International V8s up to Шаблон:Convert, the Detroit Diesel 6V53 with Шаблон:Convert, and Perkins inline-sixes up to Шаблон:Convert.

Driveline
Four and 5-speed manual transmissions were used. All gasoline single axle models could have a 2-speed rear axle. Diesel models were available with 8- and 10-speed Roadranger manual transmissions. Four and 6-speed automatic transmissions were available on some models.
The Loadstar name was revived in 2012 for a series of heavy duty low-slung cabover trucks, particularly suitable for waste hauling.[6] The Loadstar offered a stainless steel cab, an industry first, making it resistant to the corrosion associated with waste disposal, airplane refueling, and other such fields for which the truck was intended.[7]
Production was scheduled to begin in 2013 but never did.
