Truck Assembly:

Glue your lights into the holes in the grill then glue the grill to the hood of the truck, Then glue the wheel fenders to the hood (bed side should be facing out (there is a little cut to go against the grill). Then glue the hood to the cab and line it up with the bottom and sides, next glue the steering wheel into the interior, apply some glue and insert it up in the cab make sure its not sticking out the bottom. Next there is a little cylinder that fits down in the frame glue that in place. Next put glue on the front of the frame and on that cylinder and on the hood and cab or the frame where that touches to glue it down. Next glue the steps on there is a bar that goes across the bottom to connect them to give it strength and to help line it up glue that bar to the frame with the steps being glued at the same time this part can be a bit tricky, next repeat that process with the fuel tanks, The air filters can be glued on straight and lined up or you can insert the smaller cylinders to help with placement, be mindful of the angle because they are different. Next put some glue on the exhaust and slide them into the frame, I applied a little glue to the exhaust where it meets the top of the cab. For the visor apply some glue to the visor or the edge of the cab and stick it on there is a hole in the middle of the top of the cab line that up and press the visor pin in it, you can adjust the angle you want it at then hold it till the glue dries enough. Cab lights can be glued into there respected spots. Hitch plate has 2 attach cylinders that can be glued in and glued to the frame. 

 

Wheels Assembly:

Take the tires and put them on the rims. Next take a front wheel and stick a 16mm m2 through it and stick it through the hole in the frame. then stick a washer over it and a nut on. Repeat this on the other side. Next do the same thing for the dual wheels on the back but use a 12mm m2 bolt and repeat that for each wheel. Next go back and tighten/loosen until they roll freely and apply glue to the nut so it doesn't come off. 

Your build should be completed.

Post a picture of your builds I would love to see them.

 

Sleeper Version Assembly

Glue the sleeper attach cylinder to the frame and glue the sleeper on top of that.

 

I'm also adding Rims for a using a rod and glue axle which gives it a smoother roll.
