The small truck 8820, released in 1991, appears to be fashioned after a World War II era Jeep. Like a Jeep, the front windshield can be folded down. This model also has front rack and pinion steering and rear swing arm solid axle suspension. A spare tire is affixed to the rear. Construction is pretty straightforward for the time, using mostly regular stud assembly.
This model is unremarkable but a good set at entry level.

Steering |
 |
 |
The front wheels can be steered using a wheel at the driver's position. The wheel drives an axle connected to a 8 tooth pinion gear. The gear drives a flexible rack. The steering mechanism itself uses steering arms and toothed links. |

Suspension |
 |
 |
The rear wheels are supported by a trailing swing arm with a single central shock absorber. The wheels are actually supported on axle pins which are in a different location than the axle which connects the two arms. |
