Differences 4070 a? Transtar II are: Headlight pans, Windshield wiper placement, Change of step design (under cab doors) Ridges on acess door on front of the cab, Interior: The dash is totally different in the Transtar II as are the seat design. Production of the Transtar II Began in 1974, And as you stated known as the "B" series. -

Not to nit pick, But the Magnavox truck isn't a 4070a, It's a Transtar II. How ever there was a Transtar 4070a in the film as well. The 4070a is in Pabst Blue Ribbon Livery. Bonus because someone makes the decals for the Pabst 4070a! This truck show up along with the Transtar II when they destroy the town where Spider Mike is being held in jail. It takes out a power pole in a scene chasing the local sheriff, and later at RD's Funeral! P>S This truck is duel axle so the AMT kit would be all that's needed for the semi part. -
