Transtar II Log Truck

[DRIPTROIT 71]

I started this one Sunday evening. I had another new Transtar II cab (4070B), so I decided to build a daycab version. The chassis is the most recent release of the 4300. The logging bunk is from the Paystar logger kit. This one will be powered by a Gary Wallace 6v-92T Detroit.

FANTASTIC build Brian!  I do love everything you have done so far and the red engine looks so good between those light blue frame rails!

You will make me want to start building big trucks again...

That is really coming together nice! Looks terrific so far.

The color choices really work well on this build. I especially like the obligatory IH red paint on the Detroit.
