So why not let your child put this rig to the test? Its smart and sturdy design will certainly withstand the rigors of youth, making it possible to pass this toy from child to child, and from one generation to the next.

The dump truck has also been designed so you could build the project at minimal cost. The body of the vehicle is made almost entirely from one, four-by-eight foot, and one, two-by-four foot sheet of plywood. There is an optional pedalling mechanism, a lever-operated dump bed, folding windshield, headlights and a flip-top hood ornament.

As with our Fire Engine and Jeep projects, our plans for the dump truck include a complete materials list, easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions, illustrations and assembly diagrams.

Overall, the riding dump truck measures 63-inches long, 25-inches wide and 20-inches tall. Pattern No. 1858.
