International Fleetstar
The International Fleetstar is a series of heavy-duty trucks that was produced between 1962 and 1977 by International Harvester. Slotted above the Loadstar and below the Paystar and Transtar conventionals introduced after it, the Fleetstar was the first truck line that International designed specifically for vocational use.

Using a conventional-cab configuration, the Fleetstar was available as both a straight truck and as a semitractor, with both single and tandem rear axles.
In 1977, International Harvester introduced the S-Series. Consolidating the Fleetstar and Loadstar within a single model range, the S-Series replaced the Fleetstar first. The contemporary equivalent of the Fleestar produced by International is the HV (WorkStar).
