I really liked this set too! The slopes used to approximate a round
shape and the stickers added a sense of realism to the model that was
really refreshing for the time (this was one of the sets that ushered in
the minifig era). I remember always pretending the driver got in the
truck and then I would have to hide the driver from my view (totally
away, I couldn't see him in my peripheral vision) while I drove to truck
around. And of course, since it was a gas truck, it always had a habit
of exploding in the worst possible place, causing a lot of bricks to go
flying in my town :)
