1970 Ford LNT 800 Tractor

[Chuck Most]

So... I had an incomplete AMT plow truck, a box or two of spare Louisville parts, some AITM rear wheels and tires, and some Models by Dave cab steps. I decided to combine the whole mess into one tattered tractor. The quad headlights came from a White Road Boss, I added them after seeing a junkyard Louisville that had been fitted with a similar setup. The paint scheme on the hood was inspired by a neighbor's old LNT dump truck.

Pretty impressive to combine parts to generate another look!  
 

But the final result is definitely worth the effort.  

 

Nice job!

The missing grille makes it stand out. Also, how the perfectly rusty frame awkwardly sticks out back further than needed, indicating the possibility that the truck served other purposes in another life. I love it.

Cool build Chuck!! I like the hood! It looks like a former Carolina Freight hood.

Your calling it an 800 makes me think it is a gas job?  The Ford 534 cubic inch perhaps?

In my mind it started out with a 361 but it has what's left of the kit Caterpillar diesel engine. ? Much like the model is a hodge podge of parts for a couple incomplete Louisville kits, I wanted it to represent a truck that's a hodge podge of salvage parts. So it's called an 800 mostly because the cab in my scenario came from one.

Cool parts mash up. I have done this over and over with cars but never a rig
