GENERAL INFO

After two different boats, Lesney decided to opt for a dumper truck and the 48C Dodge Dumper was born. Making its entrance in an E4, NEW MODEL box, the box shows the model in its common red color with black wheels. An E4 box without NEW MODEL and an E4R box were also made, all in size 7.

Only one variation of the F box exists, with ALP bottom lettering and “TM” end flap closers. The F box size is 6.

RARITY

An extremely common model, you will find the F box a less easy to find, but we are far from any kind of rarity.
