Geoff Weeks Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago disk or spoke was up to who ordered. What is uncommon was the 10 hole disks. most would have been 6 hole. IHC was weird in someways, you could order a Loadstar heavier spec'd than a heavier class Fleetstar. Most cases the Fleetstar would be the heavier truck, but not always. As I stated earlier, I have seen tandem axle dump Loadstar's in the 40-44K GVW range, all on juice brakes.

mowerman Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago thats just wierd,,,,i would think they would be required to have air brakes with all that weight Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73953-1972-loadstar-my-love-for-loadstars-continues/page/3/#findComment-587000 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Weeks Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago There wasn't any "requirement" other than being able to meet stopping requirements. I think the heavy dumps were marketed to county road depts. So no special training would be required. A 392 would be lucky to move that load much over 40 mph. Weird to see vacuum PDL's and brakes on those heavy axles tho. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73953-1972-loadstar-my-love-for-loadstars-continues/page/3/#findComment-587002 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago that makes sence,,,,my first class A was in massachusetts i remember reading any straight truck over 18,000 lbs and air brakes required a class 2 i think california and nevada read the same,,,,maybe its the same everywhere Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73953-1972-loadstar-my-love-for-loadstars-continues/page/3/#findComment-587006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Weeks Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago When I was in Ma, it was all by weight, 18000 and under was a "car" lic (3?) above that was straight truck (2?) and semi was class1. That was back in the 70's Once the CDL came in, the classes were standardized.

The Rubber Duck 006 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Speaking of International and the Harvester Home Coming. My Friend Troy Link Won Heavy Weight Champion Acouple years ago With this 1979 4070 B Brahm Edition Cabover. He restored it from the ground up in his shop in Homer Michigan. Unfortunately he lost his battle with Throat Cancer Last year. He was Affectionately known as Chicken Troy due to his love of Chicken lights 😋. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73953-1972-loadstar-my-love-for-loadstars-continues/page/3/#findComment-587019 Share on other sites More sharing options...
