Rainman Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Dealership in 1970's had a '67 CO 1800 with rollback, not anywhere near as pretty as that Beauty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR.EVIL Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I'm curious what that truck has for a power plant. The big split exhaust makes me think maybe an in-line 6 diesel. I really like that putty color, not a brown, not a gray. Bed needs some stylish little side boards. And the bed is WAY to nice to haul more than a cooler and chairs to a tractor show.

The y for the exhaust is coming off the correct side but I would think a 7.3 would be easier to get into the space under one of those old narrow cabs there was not a lot of room . I do not recall if you could order them with the Bd 308 like the conventional loadstars or if that was too tall I never seen one anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eason Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 A fellow from Rocky Mount NC that use't to post on the (Renteno) family had a CO Loadstar with a diesel. I don't remember if it was a D-301 or D-354. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never peeked under the cab on those CO LoadStar's, seen under the cab on several CO-190's with RD450's, and a couple Emeryville's but they're WAY bigger. I thought a turbo 7.3 IDI would be a good power plant for something like that. Plugging everything in on a 7.3 PSD makes them not popular as engine swap candidates. I watched Mecum Tractor Auction from Davenport yesterday, they sold a custom repowered 560 with a naturally aspirated 7.3 IDI, lots and lots and lots of Chrome! Guy's Father-in-Law must have owned a chrome shop, anything IH painted white was chrome, and then all kinds of small parts also chrome. Looked kinda like an early prototype for a 1468! Sold for $25,000, took a while but got there. The craftsmanship rivaled this truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
