- Model Description: Designed and authorized by Nico71, this model draws inspiration from a 7-class truck, complete with a Caterpillar 3208 V8 diesel engine. In the 80's it was commonly used as the basis for work trucks, cargo transporters, dump trucks, and similar vehicles that required medium torque. It features a realistic 4x4 drivetrain and dual-axle suspension. The removable V8 diesel engine and openable cab and hood add to the model's realism, making it a standout piece in any collection.
