I remeber as a kid playing in the sandbox with Tonka Trucks. My favorite was the Tonka Dump Truck. If my memory serves me correctly I believe it was yellow although it could have been green (Yes your right its been a long time ago). I have done some searching trying to find that 70′s era Tonka Dump Truck.
The first Tonka Dump Truck was introduced in 1949 with the concept that the toys should be tough and long lasting. This is true as I put my Tonka truck to the test. Below are some great deals on Vintage Tonka Trucks.
