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.

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..

Update, what was I thinking, leaving the stock gas engine muffler?  Found a diesel muffler, much more beefier!
