About: I build random things with LEGO's and post them here for others to recreate. Like the stuff I make? Then go ahead and follow me for more content in the future!

This instructable will show you how to build a LEGO Pickup Truck, a big enough size for your minifigures to ride in. Have some spare free time? Well try building this, with just 5 easy steps to follow!

Judging that this is an esthetic build, its mainly meant for decoration, however you could use this to add-on to a LEGO set you bought, or something like that :). So without further ado, lets begin the tutorial!

Step 1: Pieces

Not too many parts are required to build this, but if you experience any difficulties figuring out and/or getting all the pieces, then you are in luck. Every piece (except the Minifigure) in the list below has a Design ID (the digits) that can be clicked on and you will be taken to a webpage showing where you can get that piece and more information about it. Also, you can use the online LEGO Pick A Brick shop to buy the pieces separately. Colors are optional.

Anyway, here are the pieces required to build this Pickup Truck:

  • Car Base - Yellow x1 (4212)
  • Tire - Black x4 (6015)
  • Tire Disc - White x4 (6014)
  • 2x2 Plate with Wheels Holder - Grey x2 (4600)
