And just went back and looked on Tyrone Malone and the Bandag diesel racing team's Facebook page and found this comment:

Tyrone Malone and the Bandag diesel racing team Bandag Bandit and Hideout Truck are planned for 2017 or maybe 2018.

Anyone know what year that cab is suppose to represent, or are they the wrong door handles? And is the torsion bar suspension correct for a single axle over the road truck? Thank you in advance for your answers.

I believe the truck started as a 74 model, a single axle was available in the torsion bar setup and based on the few pictures I could find the kit parts are pretty accurate.

Yes the Super Boss and the Bandag Bandit has rear torsion bar suspension and the model kits are quite accurate as Brian said, the door handles was changed to paddle latch 1972 and the vent windows got smaller at the same time so they are correct for the Super Boss as it's supposed to be a 1974.
The Bandag Bandit wich is a 1978 model today has an older cab with the older style door handles and larger vent windows as the truck was damaged in a fire at Malones shop, before the fire it had the later cab and a different interrior.
The Super Boss as well as the Bandag Bandit was ordered as "glider kits" with frame, front axle, hood and cab, the rest was put together by Malone and his crew.
