leafsprings Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Built this before joining this forum. Willig Freight lines ran vehicles similar to this in the 80's and 90's. I replaced the kits gas auto with a Cat diesel and manual trans and of course Budd 2 hole wheels. Even though door emblem reads 800 on these kits, a diesel option would techinically create the 8000 model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafsprings Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the positive comments. The fleet colors were actually dark blue, looks black in photos, and yellow. Here is one of the real tractors when sold after company closed down in the mid 90's.. Edited May 4, 2016 by leafsprings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafsprings Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) Update, what was I thinking, leaving the stock gas engine muffler? Found a diesel muffler, much more beefier! Edited June 12, 2016 by leafsprings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
