Set No: 7242 Name: Street Sweeper
* 		7242-1 (Inv) Street Sweeper
60 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2005
Sets: Town: City: Traffic

I was looking at this inventory and noticed a redesign consisting of the black
Technic pin being lengthened and the yellow 2 x 4 slope being split into two
slopes. However, I can't find any instructions online for the later version.
This is, provided that different instructions were made. It could have been
a supplemental instructions sheet or no changes at all (although I doubt that
the changes were not noted in the instructions, it is possible).

This was a pretty common set, so does anyone have the newer instructions which
show these changes? If so, will you please reply with photos or scans showing
the changes in the instructions? Or, does anyone have the redesigned set with
its instructions who can verify that no new instructions were included?

Thank you in advance for any assisance.

I don't have it. Man, look at that worker's face. He hates his job.

It's funny you mention that, because normally he doesn't. Usually he
looks like this:

 
Part No: 3626cpb2082 Name: Minifigure, Head Black Eyebrows, Large Open Mouth Smile with Red Tongue Pattern - Hollow Stud
* 		3626cpb2082 Minifigure, Head Black Eyebrows, Large Open Mouth Smile with Red Tongue Pattern - Hollow Stud
Parts: Minifigure, Head

The reason he seems down in the photo is because his truck was recently outfitted
with slicks. He misses his treaded tires and worries that driving a truck with
slicks on a wet street will lead to an automobile accident.
