Husky Ford F350 Truck (repainted)

About this Husky Ford F350 Truck

• Purchased in the late 1960’s or very early 1970’s
• Size: 70mm long x 26mm wide x 24mm high or 2.8 x 1.0 x 0.9 inches
• Weight: 17 g or 0.6 ounce
• Wheels work but friction means it won’t travel a great distance if pushed
• Suspension working – if you push down on the roof the wheels feel springy
• Backend crane missing but support for crane still there and moves
• Seems to have Araldite on crane support structure
• Orange paint added to doors and roof
• Quite a few scratches on front bumper and front side trim.
• Possible dents on the backside body work
• Writing on underside of vehicle: HUSKY, PAT PENDING MADE IN GT BRITAIN, FORD F350 TRUCK
• Looks like an attempt was made to mend it as you can see by the remains of the Araldite, but that seems to have been a short term measure as nothing remains of the crane part. Interestingly there actually is a real life Ford 350 Truck in existence and being sold in the in the USA.
• This model truck has had a few knocks, but still has some life in it yet for activities. Alternatively you could take it to pieces and use it for spare parts.
• The Husky range were rivals to the Matchbox car series – they eventually became Corgi Juniors and then Rockets. The factory producing these cars was in Swansea, South Wales, UK. The pickup truck obviously used to have a crane on the back and a hock on this to pick up cars, but these have been lost over time

• For returns the buyer is responsible for cost or repackaging and postage

Enjoy!
