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, most offered trailer brake options. Semi-tractors were also available, the F5070 had a Gross Combination Weight Rating[lower-alpha 2] of up to 120,000 lb (54,000 kg).
