Consolidated Freightways Ford L8000 Truck Tractors - By Paul Knowles


This pair of Consolidated Freightways Ford L8000 city delivery tractors from Paul Knowles on display at the 2019 Midwest Meet in July 2019, though similar, have some interesting differences. Both are based on the Atlas Ford NT-9000 truck tractor models and feature shortened wheelbase chassis, upgraded wheels from Athearn, Plano Model Products mirrors, and Microscale decals. The unit above features round headlights, "eggcrate" grille, and six hole steel wheels. The unit below features rectangular headlights, straight horizontal bar grille, and two hole steel wheels.
