I read an for sale ad 1965 international 1700 with a 345 v8 (gas) engine. It lists the GVW as being under that of the CDL requirements. Would that mean it does not have air brakes? I was under the impression air brakes required the air brake endorsement which was part of the CDL.

My interest is in possibly picking this or similar size dump for gravel and wood chip hauling. What would be a safe estimate on MPG 5? It has a 5 year dump 2 speed rear manual transmission.

Thanks for any info.

We have a '77 Loadstarr with a 404 gas. 5&2 gets about 8mpg empty. The old 345--392s did better on fuel in my opinion, and were a better engine. Ours has a 9 foot dump & falls just under cdl requirements. There were some trucks built a few yearts ago that were over cdl limits with hyd. brakes, and some under with air. When I first got my cdl, I did not have air brake endorsement. Had to take a written test to get that added.

The 1600=1700=1800 series IHC of that era came from the Factory with Hydrovac assisted Hydraulic Brakes. This was a vacuum system. some 1700 and 1800 series intended to be used as Dump and Tractor Chassis could be ordered with air assisted Brakes. In that era Vacumn Brakes on Semi Tractors and Pup Trailers were common. I'm not cognizant of the CDL requirements only the Brake systems available on that era IHC trucks. some 1800 Tandem Chassis meant for Dump Box installation were optioned with full Air Brakes.

The owner called and said its hydraulic brakes.
Mentioned they tend to stick if the truck is not run often. When the weather brightens I'm headed over for a look.

Thank you for the replies.
