Long Description
This is a 1950s Louis Marx Powerhouse Pressed Steel Dump Truck. Restored by myself. Parts are hard to come by for these trucks. I have the mirrors. The only thing missing is the headlights which I'm still in search for. The windshields are the hardest to come by and the headlights are almost always missing. It's very common for those parts to be missing. It has an hydraulic dump box which works very well. The truck weights around 6 pounds.
History
Pressed steel toy trucks were very popular in the 1920s through the 1970s. They are still made Today but they are made of half plastic and half pressed steel. Just not as desirable as the older ones.
