Vintage Lego Builds

Rebuilding forgotten Lego that were missing instructions

400-4 Basic Tow Truck

Let’s rebuild this basic vintage tow truck visible on this leaflet circled in black. This is extracted from set 400-4 introducing small wheels with axles to the Lego inventory. It has 4 wheels with old light gray tires. Hopefully I get dozens of them so I will be able to build it.

Let’s see what AI does with this.
