Tonka Vintage Tilt

Recently, Tonka has released a 1:55-scale line of vehicles, mostly of the construction variety, but with "civilian" cars as well, such as a Jeep CJ7...

One of those caught my eye, a blue vintage Ford Dump Truck, called "Vintage Tilt"... it looked familiar, and that's because we used to have one, albeit of the large scale (1:18sh) variety...  here is a picture showing the new one (left) and the vintage one (right), not according to scale, however.  The new, smaller one even had the same "Hydraulic" markings on the doors...

Here is an old 1974 picture of my 3rd birthday, with the Tonka dump truck accidentally caught in the background...
