I can't believe that I hadn't posted this series of a pink International Metro van that I came across a few years ago. I was on a bus heading to do some planespotting at Toronto's Lester B. Pearson Airport when the corner of my eyes caught this adorable van parked at a strip mall. On the way back, I got off half-way and luckily it was still parked there.
The International Metro Van was made by International Harvester between 1938 and 1975. On the grill's badge, you can see the i H logo for International Harvester.
Unfortunately I had not recorded where I saw this very well-preserved van. The Simple Life Natural Health Products was already shut down when I tool this image, and a quick search on Google didn't yield any possible results.

In 1998 Workhorse took over production of the Step-Van from General Motors. These models are used in large numbers for deleveries in the USA.
I built something!
Two years ago I was asked (as usual) if I have a SWAT van that could be used in a potential Arkham set. I didn’t have one then (or did I?) but 30 minutes later I did.
Back then I figured that if it won’t be used, then I can always sneak it into something else as a taco truck or a TV van, whatever, but it went thru.
The build is pretty straightforward except for the front, that utilizes an odd combo of plates and brackets built in every direction on a footprint of a 2x2 brick to create the distinctive Chevy Stepvan headlight assemblies with it’s eyebrow turnsignals. No doors, as these things usually drive open, and since the doors are of sliding type, I don’t think it’s feasible in this scale.
As usual, I built it in different colors, and different lenghts, but the final product is pretty close to my initial sketch.
This is also the set where I was allowed to wish for an element for the first time ever in my career here at LEGO, and I went for a tyre that I needed for years now.
It’s a real gamechanger for me, and you’ll find that tyre from September 12th in the 76300 Arkham set.

Appears that lacking a jack, this person let a tree grow through the bumper and thus raising the vehicle from the ground enough to make the repairs. (Note the wheels are towed in from the weight removal) After the repairs the tree was cut down(note chainsaw cut under the bumper) to lower the vehicle. The drawback to this type of ingenuity is that the vehicle seems to age and rust while waiting for the right tree to grow through the bumper.

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"?
is over…

Red ~ Voice from the Couch took me back outside today to see if the Blue Heron was at the Steel Bridge. It wasn't but Tom's red truck was parked north of the Fremont Bridge.
