It looks nice. Oxford Diecast in England still make quality diecast toy cars, but not in large quantities for sale, more limited production runs. I just wish matchbox wasn’t sold to Mattel, because when matchbox declared bankruptcy, it wasn’t because they couldn’t manufacture quality toys, it was because the economic climate back then in the late 70s, early 80s was dismal in the U.K., and the cost to manufacture these toy cars wasn’t sustainable. I’m 51 now, but I had loads of these matchbox toys, when I was growing up, which my mum later donated to the children’s hospital nearby. Now, I’m reminiscing about matchbox on KZfaq and I’m tempted to start collecting them. I had Corgi as well, which is another great toy brand from England. Now owned by Hornby. I grew up when most of my toys were made in England or GT. Britain or Hong Kong, when it was governed by the U.K… And I had toys made in France and the U.S.A. As well. Whatever happened to our manufacturing, now most things are made in China.

I have one of these for sale on Ebay! It was my brothers back in the day… it’s pretty cool!

So rad a toy lowboys gooseneck detaches, I would've of been stoked as a child in the 90s coming across this at toy r us

Hi i had one as a kid and there were a bull dozer that came with it on the trailer, the dozer was red with yellow blade and a yellow hook on the back with real rubber tracks that worked.

Had one of these when I was a kid. Came in a set with a bulldozer on the back.

great find

Great find. Looks in excellent condition for a 45 year old diecast. Good paint, straight axles etc. You could restore the winch unit. There are suitable hooks available and a thin black cord onto the drum. A load can then be winched onto the trailer bed.

I have a complete one. Yours is missing it's bulldozer with rubber tracks and the hook and rope that goes on the winch on the back of the Low Boy to hook the Dozer on and reel it onto the trailer.

The prime mover and paint job on the pre-SuperKing era tractor and trailer was a red cab with yellow saddle tanks that were molded onto the fifth wheel and hinged. If you lifted that tanks up it would unhitch the trailer. The trailer itself was either a dark green or red, I really can't remember which it was since the last time I saw those two items was about the time I was about eleven or twelve. I had several Super King truck sets as a kid and at nearly 60 years of age, things seem to merge together. I do remember that the trailer was all one piece that didn't come apart or have that huge winch on the rear deck, that was something they did after they converted the axels to the Superfast/Hot Wheels type of spring wire and low friction bushinged wheels.

Very nice too I actually drove a real one and if I remember correctly it had a twelve speed fuller gearbox, but not with a low loader trailer, that's what they are called in the UK, they are used for heavy machinery. That u shape thing as you call it is a fifth wheel coupling

King cast on float goose neck represents King Engineering real life equipment engineer firm built float tippers fire engine body ...innovators back in the day love this rig ..have 4 ... the Ford couples to a petro tanker or tipper have several ... you need the dozer that goes on the float ....

I think that scammel if my thinking is correct was the british version of mack and im jealous lol im missing one yr left of my larger truck collection and youve got one lol a 67_72 chevy pickup ive got a 58fleetside 63fleetside and 2 50 chevys and a 79 ford fleetside as well as a 70 elcho ss but awesome vid

👌👌

I would strongly recommend replacing the blade in your knife. A sharp blade would have easily sliced through the cardboard. More folks get cut using a dull blade than a sharp one.

The truck was generic I remember them in a nice red colour too, They were used for tankers, container trailers with two 20” containers on them and of course the low loader. I am sure the winch had a metal hook on the end of the string too.

Very nice indeed! The lovely Scammell Crusader, it was fitted with a version of the Motor Panels Cab, made in Coventry, that was sadly horribly rust prone! King is the manufacturer of the trailer. Some further information you might find of interest: www.scammell-crusader.co.uk/info.html

Nice trucks. They look like new. In the background i can see two pick up's. Are they in 1:43 scale? They are very nice too :-)

Are we restoring a box or a Truck?

I also liked the blue ford pickup, is that also made by lesney?
