History
The PayStar was introduced by International Harvester in January 1972, as a construction-specific versions of the conventional Transtar.
From 1972 through 1980 the Paystar was offered in two ranges, the 5050 with mid-range engines, and the 5070 with heavy duty engines. Available as 4×4, 6×4, and 6×6[lower-alpha 1], they were usually straight trucks, but most offered trailer brake options.
Early Paystars had front axle GAWRs[lower-alpha 2] up to 20,000 lb (9,100 kg). Single rear axles were available with a 23,000 lb (10,000 kg) GAWR, for a GVWR[lower-alpha 3] of 42,750 lb (19,390 kg). Tandem rear axles were available with a 44,000 lb (20,000 kg) GAWR, allowing a 73,160 lb (33,180 kg) GCW[lower-alpha 4].[1]
By 2010 the PayStar was becoming a semi-tractor, although straight truck applications were still offered. Severe service straight truck applications were handled by the Workstar series, which offered no semi-tractors. In 2014 the PayStar is only offered as a 6×4 or 8×6 with high horsepower engines. The front axle GAWR, at only 14,600 lb (6,600 kg), is possibly limited for straight trucks, but correct for a semi-tractor. With rear axle sets up to 58,000 lb (26,000 kg) GAWR the Paystar has an 80,000 lb (36,000 kg) GCWR.[2]
