In 1962 the 23000 lb GVW, 36000 lb GCW International Loadstar 1700 replaced the 22,000/35,000 lb B-170 series conventional (after-International Harvester Auto Wagon, International F-Truck, International Model S, International Six Speed, International Harvester A-3, International Harvester B-3, International C-30, Truck, International CS-30 Truck, International Harvester D-Series medium-duty, International K series medium-duty, International KB series, International L-Series medium-duty, International Harvester R Series medium-duty, International Harvester S-160, and International Harvester A-Series Conventional) and BC-170 series short-conventional (after-International Harvester Auto Wagon, International F-Truck, International Model S, International Six Speed, International Harvester A-3, International Harvester B-3, International C-300 Truck, International CS-300 Truck, International Harvester D-Series COE, International K series COE, International KB series COE, International L-Series COE, International Harvester R Series COE, International Harvester S-160 COE, and International Harvester AC-Series Short Conventional). In addition to the carryover BD-282 and V-304 engines, the 1700 was available with the BD-308 six, V-345 V8, and Perkins D-354 diesel. In 1965 the 18500 lb rear axle that was optional in the Loadstar 1800 was made available in the 1700. The maximum ratings for the 1700 were raised to 25500 lb GVW and 45000 lb GCW, the same as for the 1800 at the time. However, the 1800 used a larger front axle and higher capacity springs. In 1969 a new 9000 lb front axle boosted the maximum GVW of the 1700 to 27500 lb. The BD-282 engine was dropped and the 236-hp V-392 V8 was added. In mid-1971 the V-392 was increased to 253 hp. In 1972 the BD-308 and Perkins diesel were dropped and an optional Allison 4-speed automatic joined the continuing Allison 6-speed. Larger 10.00-20 tires also became available. In 1973 International began using net hp ratings for gasoline engines. The V-304 was rated at 147 net hp at 3,900 rpm, the V345 developed 157 hp at 3,800 rpm, and the V-392 put out 191 hp at 3,600 rpm. The V304 was dropped in 1974. In 1975 a 188-hp 2-barrel carburetor version of the brand new MV-404 gasoline V8 replaced both the V-345 and V-392.
