Wow, we went from modern Technic to old-school Technic.
Remember when sets were on shelves for years and years after their release? I remember this one as a kid and I was only born in '78.
There’s a good 3D printed version of this...

Odd. I’ve had this set since 79 or 80 but have no memory of the alternative build shown.
The first Technic set I owned - fond memories.
This was my first LEGO set. I got it around '79-'80, I was 6 or 7 that time.
I fell in love with LEGO immediately, and it lasts forever :) I still have this set complete with its box and instructions.
But the picture shows 850, the European version, which was one of the very first Technic sets released in 1977. ;)
A studless version of it : http://lego.vilvert.com/2017/02/05/studless-remake-classic-850-forklift/
