Could anyone please help me identify the exact model/manufacturer information on this pedal dump truck? I do not know the history on this pedal car other than it was restored relatively recently. The lights are working and it does appear to me to be a model T Ford, but I can't find a dump truck for this listed anywhere. The back looks like a Steelcraft Mac 1 Ton Dump truck, but the front is clearly different, so I'm really confused. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have the exact pedal dump truck in blue. The only differences are my says "RoadKing" on the side, has the same Dogbone radiator cap, has a Studebaker badge on the grill, but does not have open louvres on the side of the engine cowl. And my front bumper is straight and black. I can't figure out who made this either except that I have a Steelcraft "Playboy" dump truck that looks exactly the same except the cowl is different... the rest is general the same or similar.
I also just found this Toledo pedal toy that looks like maybe where ours was copied.. in my initial opinion. The Toledo has some exceptional components, ours does not. The front bumper and radiator and a crank in front under bumper.
