International Loadstar1600

[Chariots of Fire]

I've been trying without success to find dimensional information on International Loadstar cabs of the 1960's.  I have some photos and basic dimensions but really need some good hard numbers.  Anybody know what might be available?  Back when I was building the Dodge W300 I had the benefit of a 1970 Dodge Body Builder's reference book for every style and size of cab.  It would really great to find such for the Loadstar.  (PS) If I can find the information I will be scratch building a 1/25 scale cab.

binderbooks.com/1968-72internationalloadstar has the operators manual and parts manual in reprint. Just make sure ur sitting down. There is also redpowermagazine.com. and a google search for internationalloadstarbodymanuals turned up some topics. Could you not use an AITM 2070 and modify the fenders?

I don't think it would just be a fender modification.  I think the cab is taller overall and the hood is slightly different.  I'll continue to check out your reference suggestions.  Thanks!

I was looking at an 1800 series, the cab looks taller, i know the cab sits lower than a 2070.

Have you reached out to our resident IH expert Dave aka Loadstar (IIRC)? I would think he would be in the know and might have the information you seek.

I don't know if this will help much, but, it might help a little bit.

This was the only one I could find that was like a blueprint, but I don't know exactly what your looking for, so I did what I could on limited information.

hope this helped!

Thank you Scott.  That, in fact, could have been of some help to Jim Clarkson, a great 1/32 scale scratch builder who just finished a Pennsylvania National Guard unit bus for his Armory diorama.  He did the bus as a GMC and as a Loadstar.  I'll try and post his pics.  I'm looking more for cab info as well as for the front clip.

Thanks, Larry.  I added it to my list of info.  Every little bit helps!
