This is a vintage Structo Hydraulically Operated Fireball Motor Dump Truck. I believe it is #250. It is made of pressed steel and was manufactured in the 1950s. It measures approximately 20.5 inches in length.Condition: The overall condition is good. The wheels all roll fine. The hydraulics of the dump bed work well. The front hood latches and removes properly. The plastic Fireball Motor is present. The paint and decals are very good with some wear. The latch to hold the dump bed down ...is not working properly. I can't figure out why. It looks complete. It catches the hooked part of the dump bed, but won't hold it in the down position. I've rigged it with the yellow soft wire that you see in the pictured to keep it in the down position. For full information on condition, please see the photographs.I do my best to identify the truck number and time of manufacture, but I cannot guarantee that they are correct.Additionally, I do not have the level of expertise to determine if an item is all original or has been restored/repainted. Please make your own determination based on the description & photographs and feel free to ask questions.This item is from my late father's collection. He had hundreds of these types of old toy trucks. They include manufacturers Structo, Buddy L, NY-LINT, Model Toys, Ertl, Tonka, Hubley, Smith Miller, Wyandotte, and more. Everything from fire trucks to construction trucks to delivery trucks. I'll be selling all of them as time allows.
