This is copied from my previous post when someone else was asking the same thing:

I was just doing something similar today and found nothing related to this on the wiki.

Soooo:

These are the files you need
your_config.pc
your_config.png
info_your_config.json

You can change "your_config" to something else, but do it on all the files.

You already have the .pc so next is the .png. This is the image that will show up in the vehicle selector. Official images are 400x192 so I suggest you go with that.

Next the .json. You can create it with notepad, but be sure to save it as .json and not .txt. Here is an example:
Code:
{
   "Configuration":"Drifting",
    "Transmission":"Manual",
    "Description":"It slides.",
    "Drivetrain":"RWD",
    "Value":16500,
    "Performance Class":"6",
    "Config Type":"Custom",
    "default_color":"Royal Blue"
    }
That's what it includes. There are other options you can type in but we lack in documentation so nobody knows what they are.
If you want to know the available color options go to the vehicle selector and hover your mouse over the default colors. Then type the color you want your config to have into the "default_color" in the .json. You can change all the other options too, I found out that the "Value" determines how far down in the list it appears.

Congratulations on making it here. Now you need the zip. Good luck with that.
Put all the files (all 3) in a folder, That has the name of the car that the config is made for. So if your config is for the ETK I-series, you put the files in a folder named "etki". If you don't know the folder name go to Beamng installation folder>content>vehicles and look around. These .zip s are the official vehicles. Now just find the right .zip and put the .zips name as the folder name. For example, you can find a pickup.zip in the vehicles folder. This is the D15. If your config is for the D15 you put the files (ALL 3!) in a folder named pickup. If you have questions just upload the files here and I'll put it together.

Now you have a folder named like the vehicle that your config is made for. Next we make a new folder. This time it's named "vehicles". Now put the earlier folder in the new folder. "What next?" you may ask. Well now need the .zip. It should look like this:

YOUR_CONFIG_MOD.zip/vehicles/_THE_NAME_OF_THE_VEHICLE_/(here are the 3 files right)

Rename YOUR_CONFIG_MOD to something after reading this: http://wiki.beamng.com/Modding_Guidelines

If it all fails post the 3 files here and I'll help you. Or maybe someone else will help you.

How do I turn it into a .zip exactly?

Right click, and go to Send To, and select Compressed (zipped) Folder.

You're missing a vehicle folder, which the pickup file goes into.
The finished product should actually look like this:
