Re: Ford C800 tractor
Jerry Ol'55, Have signage for the doors will look at some scroll for it too, Oh the roof will be white. One thing with this one the box art has a C-900 on it but the cab has C-800 badge on it, Also have the C-600 ridge with pan its has C-800 on it too. Look's Like AMT used one cab for two trucks. It will worry and upset some but not me its a cool COE Ford.

Re: Ford C800 tractor
Interesting truck there Allan, doesn't look like you'd have to lengthen the wheel base any just put the tray straight on.

Re: Ford C800 tractor
Was not sure if it the short wheelbase or a bit longer.

Re: Ford C800 tractor
It's probably a bit longer but your model your call. The cabs all pretty much forward of the rear of the front tyre so weight forward wouldn't be an issue for carrying 1 car. Maybe a short bogie pan trailer or a set of those single axle pans they use in the US?

Deaf as, justed order a AMT flatbed trailer for this one which will be a lot easyer then building a ramp bed, Got engine painted dark blue.

Re: Ford C800 tractor
So far so good Al. That colour suits that truck. Is this the same model truck that Clint Eastwood drives during the intro of one of the Clint & Clyde movies?
