    There are three connections, two air and one electrical. The electric cable would have been black. The air lines would have been black with straight hose or probably red and blue with coiled hoses. On a 4070a the air lines usually come out of the back of the cab just above the engine tunnel, but with the kits long wheelbase it could be moved to the frame.

    The IH brochure calls it a “built in ashtray.” Notice in the second picture posted with the radio the the ashtray is on the dash.

    I use a combination of phone wire, guitar strings, craft wire, small gauge wire, thread, and Evergreen plastic rod. I either use what I think looks close visually, or measure, comparing the size of the lines in scale to the real thing. I forgot, heat shrink too.

    Cool build! I never paid this truck much attention in the movie. I didn’t realize that they blew up a model, but it is pretty obvious in the pictures posted. The other interesting thing is that I noticed in these pictures of the movie truck is that it is actually an IH 4070B Transtar II, with 4070A style headlights. I can’t help but wonder if it was a rebuild of the Gone in 60 seconds truck. Looks good so far! The Detroit looks good in yellow.

    Unibody wasn’t the best choice of terms, but it is integral sleeper Road Boss 2. I’m pretty sure that it is the same cab.

    I agree. The hardest part, I think would be making the windshield smaller. Didn’t the unibody Road Boss use the same cab too?
