Vintage 1974 International Loadstar 1800 rollback truck. V8 478 gas, 5 speed with 2 speed rear. 24" steel bed. This cool old rollback has just 86K miles. Fiberglass tilt front end with vacuum operated radiator louvers. I believe this is a pre Jerr-dan, John Grove bed. It is a true rollback as opposed to a tilt-slide which is common today. The bed rolls back on steel wheels which will never wear out. If you notice in the pictures it has a low bed height,even riding on 22.5 tires it has a very good approach angle and can even load modern cars without trouble. There is no rust on bed top or bottom, no ripples either. This bed is heavy duty and has 5 hydraulic cylinders. The truck has a double frame that is in great shape also. A couple of the tires show some cracking. The truck starts and runs fine, bed works good. It could use a little restoring, there are some repairable rust spots on the cab. It has an exhaust manifold gasket leak. I bought the truck to restore but I recently bought a low mileage 82 Kodiak that I am going to concentrate on. The PA inspection has expired. I have just been using the truck on my lot to move junk cars around.
I may consider interesting swaps.
