Slow and Low! 1977 International Loadstar

We've all seen them at one time or another. A decked out big rig style commercial truck that's slammed to the ground and smoothed over with lots of chrome and wild paint. This is a take on one of those trucks. This '77 International Loadstar in it's stock form wasn't going to win any beauty contests back in the day. But by today's standards does have a nice sense of style compared to the cookie cutter looking commercial trucks today. Filled in seams, some minor reworking of some sheet metal and adding the cool suicide doors make for a unique look. Then add in the reworked frame, airbags, and the low pro tires and a new Ford diesel motor and you're starting to get a cool looking one of a kind truck. Rob from Ontario Canada had really built a wild ride! Just check out these stats below. 1977 International Loadstar 1600 – Complete Mods List Chassis/suspension -Full frame custom built -3X6 ¼” wall, fully sealed and used as air tank (25 gallons) -3 link fron

The era of the Gentleman Driver

There is something to be said for old film reels of classic races. A prime example is this Shell footage with commentary of the 1953 Mille Miglia. This footage has been cleaned up and upscaled with the help of AI, and it makes this 71 year old footage look as if it were just shot. Enjoy a chilled adult beverage and re-live the era of the gentleman driver.
