Heavy Metal

1969 International Loadstar

It's a 1969 International loadstar cabover truck with a single rear axle and a super short wheelbase. This will be kind of a sister vehicle to SGT. ROCK. With the cabover design, this thing will look like a little fat Bulldog, or a Unimog on serious steroids! I am calling this project "HEAVY METAL" to showcase those of us that work with metal... but also ANYBODY that is a craftsman and works with their hands. Since this is a Navy vehicle, I am getting the BLUE ANGELS involved and had the honor of flying with them in March 2010 - 7.5Gs...what a thrill!

I literally found it at a junkyard and they happily delivered it to us at no charge. One man's junk is another man's treasure!
