Pickup Lumberjack

The Pickup Lumberjack has three modes: R (Reverse), N (Neutral) and D (Forward). The spring’s energy transfers through a gear set to increase the gear ratio, then moves through the gearbox to the drive shaft, differential and rear axle. A Start/Stop mechanism in the truck bed lets you launch the truck on command.

True to Ugears style, the model includes small mechanical details that elevate the build. A pendulum under the seats simulates the vibration of a powerful engine. Bent plywood creates smooth 1950s lines. The doors open from both inside and outside, the tailgate folds down, and the front wheels steer using the wheel and can be locked for controlled turns. Front and rear spring suspension help the truck travel smoothly.

Take a step back in time with the Pickup Lumberjack. Imagine the early morning light, the scent of the forest, and a dependable Chevy-style truck ready for a day’s work. You follow the logging road, unload your tools and start the day surrounded by birdsong, rich earth and the familiar petrol smell of the truck. By midday the bed is stacked high with cut logs, and you drive back along the same old road that only you and your trusty truck know.

The Pickup Lumberjack model kit includes 460 pieces, is rated “Advanced,” and provides 8+ hours of engaging assembly. It appeals to truck lovers (especially Chevy fans), fans of retro automotive design, model builders, hands-on hobbyists and anyone who appreciates detailed mechanical design.
