Picked up a Hubley Dump Truck cataloged from 54-55 as #508. It has the '51 Ford cab that was made from 53-55, at 17" it's one of the shorter 500 series tractor/trailers. All original, has got some paint loss but not bad for a loose Hubley this old.
Great find!! It's in superb condition.
Thanks Jscott, I think I got a good deal on it. It came from the collection of the seller's father.
Thanks Brooch. Hubley took some liberties, '51 Fords definitely weren't COE. It was an added gimmick by Hubley. Ironically the cab they used on their previous sets from 48-52 was a '48 GMC cabover and it was the only one in the series that was rivited and couldn't be tilted! The grill may look familiar to some because it's the same one on Fred's '51 Ford pickup on Sanford and Son, one of my all time favorites.
