Super rare and never seen much if any at all old what I believe to be a metal masters private label television ride on repair truck in very good condition. This one has all the bells and whistles, nothing missing that I know of, both sliding doors function perfectly and has both original ladders with no bends on these and has the ever so missing ringing bell on very good working steering wheel and still has latch for the rear back door. Does have some minimal light scratches overall along with some paint chips and just very small amounts of surface rust at these areas mentioned. I see no real notable major dents anyw either, sure t may be a ping or two but I see none right off but if you look hard enough t might be some pin head size indentions but I see none to note. Steering wheel turns very well and has very good rolling wheels with acorn nuts at end of axles which I know are original to this truck for I have had many of these and just recently sold one on ebay and it had the same kind of nuts. All paint guranteed to be original although t are a few factory minor paint runs that are hard to see and the other truck I had like this was the same way and I assure you these are defenitly factory for nothing has been touched up or tampered with and all tabs untampered with and nothing losse or coming apart anyw on this very rare truck. Has some major and partial decal loss but what still remains are still legible and very well add and good for another 50 years or more, drivers side decals are in the best of shape compared to the rest and this is the side I would display for is w it looks the best. I cannot find a makers mark anyw but I believe it to be an old privatly made metal master toy made exclusivly for television repair shops and probably wasn't mass produced to sell to public, what a great find indeed. Front bumper is made of soft to medium detsity rubber which is slightly warpped and or wavy but not split anyw or dry rotted and will go back into proper alignment with a hair dryer or heat gun for this rubber has a memory and when heated will return to it's original shape, a little trick my daddy taught me and in actually works for I have done it before on other toys and it has always worked for me every time. Also one very small inward bend at passengers side front bumper on the underside I tried to show in the last pic which I did not attempt to bend back for I do nothing to any of my toys to alter or modify appearance in anyway but with a pair of pliers can be straightened out or just left like is and very easy to live with considering the rarity and condition of the rest of the truck. Also some factory ripples at hinge side on back door that looks like bends but I assure you they are not for all the other ones I have had was the same way. Be sure to enlarge pics to see wonderfull complete condition especally the paint and very rare decals. What you see t and what you have just read above is exactly what you will receive.
