Action Alert- Department of Highways #3937 Dump Truck

[biddle]

Just curious how many people have the DOH truck? I accidently ended up with two over the years. They were not included in sets and only sold separately new on card. Also, they were released toward the end of US-1Trucking in 1984-1985 as a result, I suspect many were disposed of and never sold, or never made it to retail stores. This is also a lighted truck.

The auction ends at 5:00pm EST today- Link- https://ebay.us/H5VUDE

On a side note, I have a video on how to replace the light bulb in the dump trucks on this thread-

This video will show you how to bring your old lighted US1 Trucking Peterbilt or Dump truck back to life! I used the #3937 Department Of Highways Dump Truck in this video. I purchased it and soon discovered it had no light bulb at all! As you can see, this is easily fixed. We sell the bulbs on our website at https://tycous1trucking.com/replacement-repair-parts/#bulbs

I had 2 of these trucks. One I got on an after Christmas sale in 1984 at Toys R Us. The other was in a box of US 1 stuff I bought in the late 90s. It was pretty trashed so I sold it on eBay.
