Dump Trucks
The most common of all Dunwell trucks is the proverbial Dump Truck
Yellow cab trucks are very hard to find.
Notice the subtle differences? The rear wheels are single instead of double.
It’s reported that there was a Buckeye Dump Truck made with a green cab and a yellow bed for the Dunwell Jr. Contractor Set #1014 and a red cab with a yellow bed as part of the Buckeye Jr. Contractor Set #775 . I have never seen either one .
This great-looking dual axle dump may have also been available with a green bed.
Pick-Ups
Check out that price!
I believe this Pick-Up was repainted at the factory. The original blue paint is visible under the yellow, but it was obviously dip-painted and not sprayed. I have also seen this done to other Dunwell trucks.
Buckeye Pick-Ups came in at lease two different shades of blue
Gray is a rare color for the Buckeye Pick-Up
A chain was used across the back.
There were at least two shades of green used on the Dunwell Steel Haulers. Those made by Fame were more of a pale green. Fame also made a blue Steel Hauler which was included with their Tractor and Trailer Set.
Grain Haulers
Although found in all four colors shown here, the Dunwell Grain Hauler trailer also came in a fourth color – Pale Green – as in the Tractor and Trailer set produced by Fame.
The grain door is often missing on these trailers, but a Tonka replacement will work.
Auto Wreckers
Red, White and Blue! The Fame production run also included a white cab with blue bed horizontal boom Auto Wrecker. An all-blue Dunwell Auto Wrecker, similar to the above, was also produced
This unique tow hook appears on the blue and gray Buckeye horizontal boom Auto Wrecker.
An all-blue Auto Wrecker, similar to the above, has also been reported.
Only Buckeye produced the slant-boom Auto Wrecker. It also came in light blue.
