Description This is a 1950s Louis Marx Powerhouse Pressed Steel Dump Truck. Restored by myself. Parts are hard to come by for these trucks. I have the mirrors. The only thing missing is the headlights which I'm still in search for. The windshields are the hardest to come by and the headlights are almost always missing. It's very common for those parts to be missing. It has an hydraulic dump box which works very well. The truck weights around 6 pounds.
