The International CO4070 was more or less a "bare bones" fleet truck and The Transtar II had more flash and chrome trim. The cab on the Transtar II also sits a little bit higher. Of course as with any other truck, both could be spec'd however the buyer wanted. I've seen CO4070's with as much chrome as a Transtar II. The Transtar II Eagle though, that was a whole nother breed altogether...

This is a two part question. First, can anybody supply some well detailed photographs of the front and rear suspension from a 36-40 Ford passenger car? Second, has anyone ever attempted scratchbuilding the leaf springs on their car models? If so, what is your preferred technique?

Why not use scrap plastic to rebuild the tabs you shaved off? Day late n a dollar short.

Hi all! My name is Ben, I've been building for approximately 28 years. I do mostly heavy trucks but I have done, and I'm doing, my share of four wheelers too. Right now on my bench is a Freightliner FLC, Scania R500, 1955 Chevy Bel Air factory stock and a 1936 Ford convertible factory stock. I look forward to talking with you all. Thanks
