When searching the internet in 2004 I found a very unique but rare Doepke modified toy that was at an Auction. If anyone owns this please let me know.
Interesting Doepke Modified Dump Vehicle

Nothing Doepke about this other than the tires. It is a modified MARX Site Dumper. VERY cool toy. Here is a link to one I recently restored…

And a wildly-colored original MARX Site Dumper…

Enjoy browsing the entire site of more than 400 pressed-steel toys.

A view of the other side of the toy would show an engine. I know because I built it in the late ’90s. Mine and yours are based on the second version of the toy. The first had a hand crank to rotate the dump box. Indeed, one of the coolest toys Marx made. Too bad the front tires effervesced. I should have painted it orange, but the OD is nice.
