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. -

No I haven't nor do really care to! The more they add to a cars/pickups and SUV's the more junk to go wrong, and the way some of it is designed makes it even worse when those things fail! And for what ever its worth They also stop a car at Cemeteries as they can detect people or animals that aren't see able by us Human's! Can you say Spirits or souls??? And yes I know it's a concept idea, But then so was the Cyber truck!

It's a strong No for me! GM -Corvette learned that the split window in the rear wasn't that good of an Idea, that's why it was a one year design.... Before '63 and after never had that rear split for a good reason. It made a blind spot and not in a good way!

The mouse on my laptop sometimes decides to freeze up and not work. Sometimes it corrects it's self, while other times I have to reboot the whole thing! Though the old Buzzard is still working going on 13 years now. Bought a Replacement 5 years ago, which never ended up being used for the internet. My roommate played tri peaks on it. But then the hinge one one side stated having trouble which would pop the case away from the screen, not long after that it developed cracks on the bottom. which ended it's use. Both are HP laptop's but this one I still use at 13 years hasn't had the bad plastic like that newer one had.
