This truck is a 1974 paystar 5070 manufactured in the Springfield plant. It can't be an 80's truck cause the Vin would have had a 17letter/character vin. Your serial # on this is A5057DC511577 the D is the yr designator ad the C indicates it was a Springfield build. Hope this helps And they didn't have steerable tag axles back when this truck was made. It was a solid straight axle. No diff. So if you turned with that axle down youd blow a tire of the bead minimum. Or as bad as tear the axle bolts from the frame. It did make them overweight. But the reason steerable came along was frame stress. Everytime you lifted that axle loaded you'd stress welds and bolts. I've time fatigue would ruin the frame. I bet that old girl has those symptoms in he frame you look close enough.
Detroit in a IH. What more could you ask for! The truck had spoke wheels often called Daytons. Budd wheels have no spokes and are the most common on modern trucks. Good video!
Yeah I couldn't remember which was which for the wheels I was having a brain fart Right old Detroit diesel in an IH is a pretty good combination Thank you I'm glad you e joyed the video
My U.S. Air Force Red Horse Unit Had Some Paystar 5000's . I Think They Were Older Than This One . I Was Driving Them Back In 1978 - 1979 . Not Sure Of The Year But They Were Not Brand New At The Time , They Were 6x6 With A 5 Speed And They Had A V-8 Engine With No Turbo Or Supercharger . We Had DumpTrucks & Tractors Both
I'm curious as to what motor is in there. Looks like a nice restorable truck but should have frame inspected thoroughly first. The frame is the truck's backbone. Also find out if frame is reinforced and what design frame is on there. Usually dump/mixer and/or 6X6 tractor frames are heavier than on-highway model duty frames, with deeper "C" channel web sections and thicker web sections and flanges, maybe even higher yield strength in the frame steel alloy than a standard on-highway duty tractor frame. Previous owner history would be useful. I always like the clean and sturdy design of the IHC Paystar 5000 series tractors! I wish they still made them today.
@petermalanchuk8210 engine wise I believe it's an 8v92 detroit or the 8v71 I don't recall what the frame was like however being a northern truck running the salt belt it was probably pretty rough
In terms of the year, the truck could possibly be from the late 70s as well, as 8v71 were sort of phased out as truck engines by the late 70s. 8v92s have been around since 1974. Also, the wheels on this truck are Dayton wheels. Overall, great video, I enjoy your truck content.
Thank you very much I'm glad you enjoy them Yeah I was thinking they were either bud or Dayton wheels again I'm not sure so I couldn't find anything regarding the year but like you said could be a late '70s with the 8v71
Yeah it looks pretty good for its age It's not a bad motor the 8v81 Detroit on it's day was a solid running motor They'd just run forever that was half their problem

Judging by the tappit covers it's a 8v71. It's a good truck to restore

The build date is literally on the door tag
For sale bye chance? If you don't lift that tag up when turning it will rip it off best believe it seen it many times. Thanks for sharing with us
Not for sale
Oh yeah it'll definitely mess stuff up over time and make the DOT not happy
We have steerable drop axles on our tri axles It's a beautiful thing

again I'm not sure so I couldn't find anything regarding the year but like you said could be a late '70s with the 8v71
The international paystar 5000 was built from 1972 until 1999 this one is from 1974 to 1977 model
Those are Dayton style wheels
Who else here from Snowrunner?
It looks 70s to me. I like the color lol
Yeah I'm not sure I was thinking like late 70s early early 80s
Yeah the color is something that you don't see much of
It's a 13 speed
Is this BC?
Nope. Pennsylvania
Looks pretty nice that 8v71 is a trash motor they sound awesome but motor is trash
Yeah it looks pretty good for its age
It's not a bad motor the 8v81 Detroit on it's day was a solid running motor
They'd just run forever that was half their problem
