For those of you in the general public, I posted all 8 pages of
the instructions on:
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/4976/
Sorry for the hideous page colors... It was left over from an
early web design attempt.

To be honest, it isn't a fake. Unless some one created fake
instructions & sold them to me on eBay... but I got them along
other instructions that _are_ up on Brickshelf, and a copy
of Yellow Castle instructions (which I was really going after
at the time).
However, the non-instruction parts (or the live photos) of other
sets 331/332/333 included this copy of #371 along with the other
large vehicles. They are slightly different from the ones posted
on Kevin's site -- I'll scan them in tonight after work and post
them on the same page (see above) tomorrow.

I thought the drawings were a little crude at first also. But
then again, I have fairly limited knowledge pre-80's sets.
Also, I'm not familiar with the battery box included
in the instructions -- I think I have something similar, but
in black... I need to check.

I'm wondering if the quality has something to do that it might
be a Samsonite set?

A friend of mine is now really sure, this set has to be faked: he found a set, which has exactely that name "motorized truck set" of yours and uses the same last 4 pictures, but it has the number 310.

| Maybe I'm missing something really basic here, but I'm certain that the 2x2 "L" shaped plates used in the fender assembly shown in step one were not even available until the late 80's. The 1x3 plates were also not available in this era, and were (...) (25 years ago, 18-May-00, to lugnet.general)
