Major find at the Deseret Industries thrift store today.
We had a Tonka dump truck like this when I was a kid, but as I recall it was all metal, while this one has a plastic cab.
Not that it matters. The only thing that matters is that it was only $5 and it's on the kitchen table right now, complete with original dust, dirt, and dried bird poop.
I bought this for fun; I'm not a collector or anything. But a cursory look on the Internet tells me these are selling for around $50 on Ebay and such.
It's going to have a place of honor in my cubicle at work, I think. That's a good place for it. I did go to the DI with the silent intent to find some tchotchkes to put in my cubicle so it doesn't look too empty.
