Great news. Slept on it overnight and still undecided. Tractor or Plow

I think I’ll build it as the dump truck , I built a tractor vision years ago . I would like to get Indiana state highway decals for it.

I heard that Round 2 is going to repop it as the tractor only sometime late this year ?

There was a dump truck only version of this kit in the early 70s..never seen one, but I assume it's the same dump body as the snowplow, without the snowplow-specific features?

If you don’t mind me asking where did you have decals created? Was it expensive?

Personal friend made them, to copy our local Hwy Dept since my Dad retired from there years back.

Couldn't find a decal maker otherwise.

Question, last couple big trucks i bought the instruction part numbers did not match the kit part numbers. if you got a good view I was ok but alot of stuff I couldn't. Really made it hard for me and swore to not purchase ever again unless they match up. So does the instruction numbers match ?

I just got the kit from Hobby Lobby. Price was cheaper than all the car/truck kit's . After using a 40% off coupon I paid $14.99 for it. 

I haven't opened the kit yet ,but it show's that it comes with complete with all the fifth wheel parts as well! So you could make the snow plow/dump truck or a medium duty with the fifth wheel.

Good score.  Yes, it does.  You can build it as either a dump truck (with or without plow) or a tractor.  It really needs a wing plow, though.

Yes but the hard part will be getting a International F-2575 Kit to make the plow/dump truck. Odot Here in Ohio has used International's since the 1980's!
