Several significant differences between the KC-135/717 and the 707 - the most significant being the fuselage (707 is somewhat larger in diameter)
tdracer, perhaps you are in a position to confirm that the only similarity between the two aircraft is that they look similar. Have seen it written that structure is even built of a different grade metal, reflecting the difference between commercial and military requirements.
