I feel blessed to have stumbled upon it. Had just bought an 87 32ft GM/ward coach with a turbobdiesel, but this IHC look is what I really like. Most likely because I rode in the loadstars back in the day going to school.

I rode loadstars as a kid so feel very blessed to have stumbled on this. Had just gotten a 32ft 1987 GMC/Ward Turbo diesel but could not pass this one up. And it had been advertised online a whole week. Numbers 7 and 8 in my whole life but only have 2 currently.

since we are talking Loadstars...
I rode Loadstars and S-series to school growing up... a few B-series..
here in ohio it was carpenter / wayne / superior bodies mainly with a lot of international chassis since they were all made in ohio and indiana..

I lived in SoCal for a dozen years, and I never heard tell of any Big Oak Flat! Prolly uber rural.

Too cool on the tags, I always liked the look of the old school yellow on black plates...
