Default 1975 Cabover International Transtar 4070

Hello everyone.This is the second of a few more to come of my Vintage builds .I am a huge fan of Old School as Fred(Plowjockey) will tell you because he is an old school junkie like me.I have liked the cabover transtar because my dad had one years ago and Izzy did a fantastic job on his transtar .I wanted one for my fleet ..but the older ones with the round head lights..not the early 80's with the round headlights in the square bezels..This build is going to be fun ..I did not scratchbuild the cab but some of the parts i will be making for it will be.I will post pics of the cab later tonight ...again check shapeways lucky7 is his id on there 😊😊😊😊

i will probably be using the kinghauler chassis for this build also as the wheelbase is perfect for this vintage truck as well as my Super Duty

Its funny that I stumble across this. Ive been wanting to build a Transtar II r/c truck, but without any resin exp and available kits i wasnt expecting to build one. Or even see one to be honest.

Where can i get this body and what all would I need to make a complete cab?

this body is on shapeways under lucky07pro and you will need everything from a globeliner kit and you will need to scratchbuild the floormount to mount the cab to and to the frame ..i will be posting pics as i go along to show what needs to be done ..as well i am building the Ford Super Duty from the same gent on here

Well after some thought i decided to do this truck custom ..not too crazy.i was going to do it up as a stock dealer truck but instead going with full out custom for this old school cab.i am going to build it using the grandhauler frame rails for that loooooooong stretched look.Far be it from me to stop building trucks i would have in my fleet if i could afford them all in real life..lol..so these pictures are a mockup of what i am going for this to look like .
