Do you mean this 827 part shown below? There is no Lego 827 Set. You could refer to Blakbird's Technicopedia to help identify your old Technic set. Look under the "Categories" (2nd column) to narrow down your search.

The 853 Car Chassis set is classic!

That was my very first Technic set when I was a kid! I finally got hold of a replacement one a few weeks ago (the old one I used to have has so much missing now, it was cheaper to just replace it!)

Does anybody ever build the B-model (jeep)....are there any picture or instructions available. I like to build it.

On MOCpages, Andreas Neidhart "...built one of the alternative models from the first "supercar" 853. There are some photos on the box but no instruction. The car has a piston motor and a steering. It´s not very exciting but for me a journey back to my childhood." He posted 10 pictures of it there, so you may be able to "reverse-engineer" it. Be sure to click on each image to enlarge them there.

It should be noted that, in the USA, this set was known as 956 instead of 853, but they are the same. Note the set number on the bottom-right corner of this box, with the same images as the 853 set:
