kscarbel2 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 So what began with me reading that Egypt is in the market for new howitzers caused me to note the tractor of course, and it looked to me like a 4-door PayStar 5000. Except I'm not aware of any having been built (Daily Diesel, one of our International experts, can correct me). . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel2 Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 It took me forever, but I finally found a frontal picture. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel2 Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 Egypt has a long history of operating PayStar 5000s, but most have had standard 2-door cabs. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DailyDiesel Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Good question. I'll have to flip the IHC bible by Fred Crismon and see if these are mentioned. Quote www.dailydieseldose.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I read the late 70's through early 90's section of IHC Trucks by Mr. Crismon and found no mention of crewcab trucks which if produced in house by International I would have expected to receive full coverage. There were plenty of photos and notes regarding the daycab units purchased by Saudi Arabia but never mention of Egypt. How are relations between the two countries? I wonder if Egypt bought these units second hand. Either way, the main question remains unanswered....for now.

kscarbel2 Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 International 7000-MV Brochure (PDF) - https://www.navistardefense.com/staticfiles/navistardefense/vehicles/7000-mv/7000_mv/7000-MV.pdf International 7000-MV 2-door extended cab "walk around" - http://www.primeportal.net/trucks/daryl_nightingale/navistar_truck/ No surprise the tandem rear axle has a Hendrickson suspension. The U.S. military has always spec'd their tandem axle Internationals with Hendrickson suspensions going back the 2-1/2 ton model M-5-6 6x6 of World War 2. (Most of International's WW2 military truck production went to the U.S. Navy and Marines) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
