Firebird89 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Hey, I have an "IH" original part, but cannot find the exact year or model it fits. The part # on the back of the part is 258753-C1. Can anyone tell me what model(s) and year(s) this cool guy fits? Thank eh! Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleek Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Could be the hood emblem off an International Loadstar from the 1960-70s era. Very popular medium duty trucks with farmers, lumber yards, wholesale delivery, etc and many chassis were used for school buses.

Firebird89 Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 Thank you Fleek! I looked online for hours yesterday trying to get the correct era and application of this ornament to no avail. Really appreciate your help! Thank you, Jamie Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleek Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Glad I could help. I grew up in far west Texas and every farmer seemed to have a couple of old Internationals that would come out of hiding at harvest time. Also a lot of the school districts used International busses. They had to run many miles every day on very bad roads and they were more heavy duty than the Fords and Chevys. So if you are 40 miles from town with kids on board it was necessary to have a dependable bus. No cell phones back then to even call for help. Here is a picture of an Bluebird bodied bus using the International drive components.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firebird89 Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Thanks for the info. That is cool. Had no idea about the IH school buses. Good thing for those heavy duty International Harvesters. Those kids woulda had to walk way too far to make it to school in the mud at that. Yick! lol Appreciate it, Jamie Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIGUEL ANGEL Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Hi guys! Could anyone please help me with this INTERNATIONAL emblem? i cannot find what year or model it fits, i will appreciate the help, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleek Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Sorry I can not give you an answer. it looks like IH and probably from the 1965 to around 1990. But International built so many machines, from trucks to tractors, and various farm and industrial equipment, it is going to be very hard to narrow down much further. You may want to start a new thread in the " What Is It" section to see if anyone there knows. This is a 4 year old thread and it is unlikely will be viewing it here. Good luck on your hunt.
