Introduction
I really like trucks, and I never have enough trucks... That's why I've adapted LEGO-694-1 Transport Truck set from 1975 to minifigure scale. This truck is in continuation of all the previous old sets I've reconstructed in minifig scale, I've prevoiusly presented 1967 335 truck some monthes ago. This is a moving truck, to transport all your furniture to you new home. I've kept the color scheme that I find very good, and made a larger sticker. I don't own the original set, I've used old 1x3x4 doors (higher than in the original set) in the trailer. For the truck tractor, I've made a "longer" cabin, I had to borrow 1x2x2 blue plane window to my 6661-1: Mobile-TV-Studio TV van as those parts are unique to this set, in the cabin, the driver can store a luggage as it's a long-distance truck. As this have to ba a powerful truck, I've also added exhaust pipes behind the cabin. The trailer itself is different to the others as it's longer than most trailers as it's 22 studs long. You can see that the trailer's walls are currently made of bricks, maybe in the future, I will replace them with 1x4x3 blue panels.
Creation features
This creation contains a 1970's truck with a trailer, crates, a luggage and the driver.
Scene
The scenery contains a roadside hotel, with 1x3x5 panels from the rare LEGO-6393-1 Truck Stop set. I very disappointed with the results of the building. There is also my Land Rover creation and my minifig size 335 trailer, along with LEGO-6684-1 police van.

Great truck once again!
I've noticed you like trucks in previous MOC already ;) I like the idea of small cabin and lagguage compartment. You made nice design here. Sticker is also excellent. Have you made it by yourself ? It seems a little too big for an original. Nice work. You've gathered some amount of trucks so far :D Hotel in scenery seems a bit too small, but nice stickers you have there. Maybe you should try to make some scenery with all your trucks parked in one place? :) | |

Thanks!
I made the sticker myself with Paint some monthes ago, I only restaured the design and made it with a better resolution to be able to print it bigger if needed, it's like in my Bakery or my Danone truck. And you can be sure of something, I would never use a genuine, new vintage sticker sheet, it's impossible for me, it's rare enough to avoid making it rarer by using one. :) I've completly messed the hotel. I wanted to use a 1x6x5 window, but I ended with a very odd thing. I think the 1x3x5 panels from 6393 Truck Stop were not really appropriated for this use, those are not stickers but original prints. I'll think about making such a scenery, when I will make a review of Big Rig Truck Stop, but it's not soon, as I want fo find those two missing 2x2 tiles with Transport print and eventually, building instructions. | |

No, sorry Noah.
This nice truck was made by Evans, but I havent seen him in a bit. He seems not active. You can try reverse-engineer it from photos as it is. |
