The Hot Wheels Dump Truck is an original design of a construction vehicle. The die-cast truck was a 1970 release that was designed by Ira Gilford. Production was in Hong Kong.
It can be found in white enamel as well as many Spectraflame colors. The windows are tinted blue, the redline wheels are capped, and white and brown are possible interior colors.
A working yellow hopper is hinged to the end of a platform that can be orange or brown. The platform attaches to a long-bed truck that is also used with several other vehicles. “The Heavyweights” is on the base.
The Dump Truck was released as part of the Heavyweights series. Included with the vehicle was a collector’s button that can be plastic or metal. Both buttons have a Dump Truck on a yellow background.
