Truck too big. Fork lift food.

Those old Technic manuals look so nostalgic...

Technic didn't evolve much for a while there."

Yeah, I was surprised at that release year, too. Other than the Technic branding (which doesn't seem to have appeared until 1982), this could have been late Seventies. I thought it was, at first!

Looked basically like that until the late 80s. Instruction design in general was very constant during that time. But it worked.

Also one of the first Pneumatic sets, featuring the old one-way cylinders.

So, what, hot dogs, baguettes, and other stuff that's both skinny and long?

Yes! I've built it just last year with my spares (I had to say good by to 8680 due to missing parts). Great functions using chains and pneumatics. One of my favorite Technic sets.

I was talking more about the look of the model than the look of the manual.

Very good set.
Contains 269 pieces, that includes two chains.
Look what you can do with the larger and studed technic parts...

It is very easy to come up with own ideas. Prime Lego.
