Started out with the Rat Fink Transtar, along with a few handfuls of spare parts, and came up with this truck. Tried my hand at bettering my weathering skills up, and it's definitely much better! Here's the mod list: GMC Astro square fuel tanks, radiator guard, and Hendrickson rear suspension swap. Diamond Reo rear 1/4 fenders, sprue tree exhaust tips, Mack DM800 front bumper. Most noticeably I swapped out the single headlight for dual headlights. Decals from various kits. Enjoy!

Really nice Transtar.  Weathering looks spot-on.  I think it fits the bill of a fleet tractor.  Very well done.

Nice job on this build. The dual headlights make it standout. Looks good.

Could have removed the International off the grill and called it a DINA C/O... Dina Truck's were IH based in the 1970's which most of those used quad head lights like your build.

Nicely done

Very nice, the weathering really makes a difference, adds depth to the truck.

Wow another great one. I don’t know how you can crank these out so fast and looking so nice. Nice mods and weathering. I like the dirty spoke wheels, especially one a little greasier than the others.

Really nice in-use look, great weathering.

I like it!! The headlights give it a look reminiscent to its predecessor the Emeryville. The weathering looks great as well. Nice work!!

The headlights really bring attention to the kit. Changes the look quite a bit. Nice!
