Definitely smaller; it's a Class 7, as all FL70's are.
Actually, when you remove an axle from a tandem setup, TECHNICALLY it becomes a Class 7 due to its lower GVW.
The reason FL70's are "true" Class 7's is because they all use a medium-duty engine and drivetrain, as do FL80's. The FL112 (same cab and style of hood) is a true Class 8 due to the use of heavy-duty engines and drivetrains.
Does this help you?

yes Gary, your wisdom is helpful...
so a class 8 becomes a class 7 when you remove one of the two rear axles but remains a class 8 if you keep the two rear axles...? Remember the key word was "technically". It's actually a Class 8 the whole time
now if I can only remember all of this...
was
warpath's first rig a class 8 or 7? did it start off with 2 rear axles and one was removed or did it only have one rear axle and if it only had one rear axle, was it a class 8...?Yes, it was a Class 8 with one axle removed at the converter's shop(Showhauler)
is there such a thing as a class 8 with one rear axle? Yes, usually as tractors that pull sets of doubles
thankyou. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>You're welcome! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
