Here's a little design exercise I carried out with the kids. They wanted to build some smaller scale trucks for their LEGO village. Unfortunately, I ended up spending too much time on mine and they ended up changing the village to a starbase. By the time I was done, they had moved on to another topic...

There is a 2x1x2 white spacer block with a small window in the back of the cab, too bad it's cropped out. The engine block is just made up of the little hinges that are the same size as a 1x2. See my Baja Unlimited Truck and Lawn Tractor for other ways to use it in engine blocks.

The only wierd part used in this truck is the chassis. It's a short, dropped chassis that I found in the Pizza-to-Go kit we picked up at a yard sale for a couple of bucks.
