Curious about a red and black dump truck on eBay now

[Mike Raffa]

This dump truck looks just like the Dept. of Hwys one, but is being considered rare. Was this dump truck available by Tyco back in the day or …. is it possible that the white lettering has been removed or painted over? ? It’s lighted too. Just curious.

It does not say it's lighted. Could just be a Red Dump truck that they painted the dump black. Regardless, not something I would buy. It's not original.

The same seller also has a solid red truck.

I think it’s a Dept of Hwy dump truck that the white letters have been skillfully painted over. ?

It's never been a DOH truck.
-Chassis is not lit
-"Peterbilt" logo missing from front of truck
-Color is wrong and probably more obvious in person.
Other red flags include the seller title "Extremely RARE!!"

This is not real. It looks like the bed has been painted black.
