FSC Star – other models: the collective page for commercial vehicles over 7.5 t from Starachowice outside the named series, Star 21 to Star 1366, kerb weight 3,425 to 5,150 kg
FSC (Fabryka Samochodów Ciężarowych, Truck Factory), based in Starachowice, Poland, built medium-duty trucks under the Star brand from 1948 for the domestic market and for export to the Eastern Bloc. This page gathers versions outside the named series: from the early post-war Star 20/21/25/27 models, through the Star 200, built in large numbers and, from 1973, the most widely used truck on Polish roads, to the heavy Star 1142/1144 and the Star 1366. The four-digit type designation used from the 1980s ordered load class and engine specification according to an internal factory scheme.

The register lists nine versions here with kerb weights from 3,425 to 5,150 kg; lengths range from 4,950 to 7,280 mm at a width of 2,200 to 2,500 mm and a height of 2,200 to 3,800 mm.
Star trucks shaped Polish road haulage for decades and, like the Soviet ZIL or the East German W50, were also used in large numbers by the military and in agriculture. Exports went mainly to other Warsaw Pact states as well as to buyers in Africa and Asia.
For a used purchase, the main checks are rust on the frame rails, cab floor and load bed, and the condition of the brake system and axles, since many vehicles spent long periods in construction or farm use. Parts for the common Star series remain comparatively easy to source in Poland through specialist dealers.
