The Hartoy Ford C is a mid size truck, avaliable as truck and as tractor but somewhat harder to find than the F and usually more $. The M2 Ford Chevy and Dodge tractors can be bashed to make trucks and I think Hoquat has them. TruckinLittle has a kit for the Emeryville IH tractor should anyone want a road tractor but right expensive. Stan Houghton
