Factory mailer addressed to Warren, Michigan
Condition Display / light-use example. Cab and body are clean; decals are intact and readable. Windows show some interior dust. Boom is complete. Key present. Instruction sheet present. Outer shipper is the original brown DG carton — creased/taped as expected for a 30-year-old mailer, foam still in place. Lights not tested for this listing (needs 2 fresh AAs). No broken mirrors or missing wheels in the photos.
Not a modern Tonka play truck and not 1:64 diecast. Adult collector / utility memorabilia / coin-bank piece. Ages 3+; small parts.
Ships in the original foam mailer inside a second carton so the boom doesn’t snap.
