Great truck.
Very nice. I had a car hauler like that truck but it was really beat up.
I think these are considered tin plate rather than pressed steel.
Thank you Caperkid
Thankyou AZTom. Tin is more accurate. Seems no matter how I post Items, they get resorted anyway. Posted a rubber toy and struggled with menu choice for toys made of rubber. Rubber didn't seem to be an option, looked under race car, didn't find that choice either. Time I figure this out I should have well over 500 toys posted.lol
yes, they do that a lot. I think they need help with the categories.
I have a photo of a catalog page dated 1962 that shows this truck and the car hauler I had. I posted it on my Pinterest page https://www.pinterest.com/arizonadiecast/tin-toy-vehicles/
Cool pic AZTom. I spend hours on the vintage catalogue sites. Looking for cool old ads and cool toys to search for that I may be lucky enough to find somewhere. I rarely do ebay, so it is still a treasure hunt that is fun and creates stories and surprizes, some good and some bad. So many vintage toys that I would need 5 lifetimes to find all the ones I like.
Old ads are a great way help identify your toys. Bookmark my Pinerest page, lots of info there.
I still pick up one now and then but I pretty much have too many now,lol
Here is some of my collection. http://public.fotki.com/aztom/toys--models/
