I just love this set for the monster-truck t-shirt (of course, it's sleeveless) on the minifig. We did not get enough minifigures wearing that.
It looks like he's wearing a shirt that's got the vehicle he drives on it, guess he just loves that truck
I have that one! I got it back when I was ten and it was my basis for all vehicle building for years!
I never owned this set but somehow I now have 2 of those torsos.
Nice to see someone else kept their instructions in a ring binder!
Oh I had this one, and the follow-up from a few years later with the larger tires! They were so fun to drive around, except the wheels would separate from the body since they were only held on by four studs.
LEGO models of today can withstand much rougher play.
How good is that shirt?!
I had this one! No idea where it, or the parts ended up though. :(
How great is this set to a 6yo me - large wheels and new minifig with the same set printed on! To top it off, it has antennas, grille and that bumper/bar pieces that I didn't yet have in my collection. This boy was so happy. I've always hoped Lego make actual shock absorbers for Town (not for another 6 years in 1992...)
"Hey - somebody STOP that truck!"
This is one of my favorite sets. Both the colors and the modeling is excellent. Still have it built.
Had it, loved it, and one of the sets I rebuilt after my dark ages.
Have this too! Endless fun to play with as a child. Build it again some months ago, now my sons are enjoying it.
A classic for me!
Oh no! The truck is Wheelin' backwards at the driver downhill!
4 wheelin with 8 Technic Wheel parts :)
I have this one. Even though my grandpa had it in his basement (that would flood from time to time) for years, it’s still in great condition.
This was my first set way back when and such a cool one at that! I might need to try rebuilding it :)
One of my absolute favorite childhood sets!!
I got this set one year for Christmas. Great set for a kid. So much play time, and modification potential. I might just rebuild it later today for my 5 year old to play with.
One of my favourite sets - I just love this guy and his truck!!!
I always love it when these retro sets pop up and I realize I actually owned it.
Completely forgot that I had this one. I had the 6675 truck too.
@gelkster That torso was part of several sets...6660 and 6675 specifically.
Edit: According to Bricklink it came with 13 sets, one being a multi-pack.
