Here’s a Lego truck I designed a while ago, and instructions for how to build it. They’re a little more condensed than official Lego instruction manuals, but you all have brains. I’m confident you can figure it out.

And there you have it! Feel free to tweak the design however you wish, and have fun. Also, if you don’t have any of those old wheel and axle pieces, modern ones will work as well, and even lend it a bit of a “hot rod” look:

Very cool! I’m not sure if I have everything I need to build that, but I  will definitely be giving it a try. Thanks!

I was just about to message you and say "Get building!"

You’re welcome! And, of course, you can always try modifying the design to better suit the parts you have.

Yep, will do. Probably be a mishmash of colors.

In any case, be sure to post pictures when you finish! :)

I was able to stick to the design, except for the cab sides/roof/windshield, and even able to make a reasonably consistent color scheme.

This is one of the wilder models I've ever built, in terms of construction techniques. I learned a few things from this one :)

That looks awesome! I like the color scheme you made for it, it kinda reminds me of a 60s/70s “show rod” :) Glad you enjoyed building it!
