Big ’ol Iron on wheels
It served meals faster than any six-shooter, just like one tucked under the driver’s seat
Let’s be honest – the Chevy P20 is just a big metal box on wheels, even blockier than a ’240 Volvo. It’s hard to make it look “beautiful”; no amount of fancy signs or liveries can change that. But that’s exactly why I love it – it has that rugged, utility look, built for purpose.
I’d been wanting to build one for a long time, and after seeing the new Arkham Asylum set, I knew it was the cue for me. I took a different approach with this model: a 7-stud wide body without specialized mudguard pieces to emphasize the tucked-in wheels and boxy shape.
Initially, I wanted to include sliding doors, but decided not to overcomplicate the build. Additionally, this resolved the challenge of fitting two front seats - now minifigures can sit without any restrictions. Behind the seats, there is a small kitchen with all the essentials for preparing burgers.
This thing is definitely going to stay in my collection for a long time. I’m just not sure if I’ll leave it in as a food truck. Part of me wants to turn it into a regular delivery truck instead. We’ll see how it goes.
What do you think - should I make it more "boring"?
