Mike77 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I just finished this one. I didn't want a standard day cab or a regular cab and I found pics on the web of a couple of 74"-cab Transtars that I thought were cool. I shortened the cab, which was a little more involved than a typical job since on the full cab the window opening and tool box door are offset. I opened up the side and rear windows, and the chassis is also shortened. I highly-recommend this kit if you have "builder's block" as it's really nice to build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Awesome build Mike! I like how you changed it to the 74” cab with extra windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'70 Grande Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Beautiful build! Your execution is top-notch! I'm curious what the logic was behind this 74" cab size in the 1:1 world? Was it for any special work applications? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTrucker Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Great job on the conversion! Great looking truck! Years ago there were several of those in this area and a couple Petes too that were owned by large farms! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincen47 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) Awesome job on creating a very unique version of the 4070a. I like it. I’m also curious what the “extended cab” was used for, as I’d call it. I’d like to think extra room for storage, but not practical with a cab that tilts, I’d imagine. Not much room for a bed, and not ideal anyway with all the windows. A couple folding jump seats for crew?

I think it was for the storage boxes not offered on the usual day cabs and they had no need of a sleeper. The ones I saw had a shelf all the way across behind the seats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Man! You beat me to it!😀 I have had one of these planned for a few months, but haven’t been able to get to my workbench for a couple of months. A few questions; do you have any progress photos? Did you delete the passenger tool box? How did you work around the driver’s toolbox? Did you finish it with a bed or just a cargo area behind the seat? You did an excellent job on this one! I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
