I sold the dump bed off the Cargostar and replaced the door hinges on the Loadstar yesterday. The PO backed the driver door into something when it was open and it wouldn't shut without slamming extremely hard.
Quick and dirty rendering of the direction I'm going with the Cargostar. I want to build a wedge style bed for it. The truck is right at 10 foot cab to axle and this sketch proportion looks like I could have 5-8 feet behind the axle.

Also, not sure if I mentioned this donor yet. P pump 12V Cummins w/ 6 speed Allison set up as a pusher. Not sure if I would down grade the axles and run the 19.5s in the Cargostar, but it is an option if they are up for the weight.
It would be way cooler with a DT360 or a DT466. Just sayin'.
Maybe, but this setup was free and already here.
I figured it was a deal, that makes the decision a lot of the time.
Pulled the Loadstar in the shop for an oil change and tune up. I also replaced the main jar looking thing. I'm guessing it is a water separator as it is hooked up to the air compressor, but not 100% sure. I also didn't get the correct plug wires and had to repair 3 ends on the old wires as they pulled off.
I helped a friend grab a parts truck today. This one used to have the road oiler tank on it if you didn't notice.
These are pretty popular for building now days. I'm on a FB group and tons of guys building old Internationals.
Now that has some great aerodynamics!
Why a parts truck? Looks pretty solid?

It is solid, that is why it was purchased as a parts truck. The cab is going on my friend's 4x4 loadstar to replace his rusted out cab with no floor.
Putting in some work. I'm on load number three hauling off what was left of an RV and misc junk in the Loadstar.
In other news, I sold the Cargostar over the weekend it went to a guy who plans to turn it into a wrecker and haul broken down moving trucks (box trucks) for his job maintaining a friend's fleet of moving trucks.
