I would say it's just like I remember but in the 70s I only had two small ones brand new. The mighty dump I had a long with the mighty crane I got very used, dented, battered and rusty, salvaged from trash and was still thrilled to have them. I opted for this one instead of the more expensive one with a little more steel which is still not the same as original. It is awesome. The plastic parts are thick and designed with ....for lack of better words...braces and buttresses to make it super sturdy. I think this is a fine product for anyone. A kid, teen, adult.... A lot of the thin or sharp under pieces are now plastic so...hey.... less chances of tetanus or cuts. This morning I cought the cat asleep in the bed but couldn't get a pic fast enough. To people who say things like....four months later they were starting to rust and paint was peeling....guess what....that's also what happened to the ones in the 1970s left outside. The old ones may have rusted more over the decades but scratched steel rusts period. I think a prime reason we left them outside is they're just huge. I know my mom refused to let me bring in the rusty, muddy, dented things. At this price point it's even a nice nostalgic gift for someone in their 50s or 60s. Load it with old fashioned candy and gift it. Will absolutely bring happiness. No need to complain it isn't the exact same. Most things are not 55 years later but THIS is a very fine modern rendition that is absolutely HUGE. Even I had forgotten exactly how big these things are to hold. Get one. **Got the Tonka Mighty Roller. You can fill the roller with water or sand to make it heavier! Never had a Mighty Roller but still have my beloved mini roller from 1972 that saw a million miles of play. I don't know how they choose now which parts to make plastic and which to make steel....but...it is awesome and huge and I don't see how a child could destroy it by playing with it. Super awesome for my collection. See photo :) Review: Real Metal with some plastic parts, sturdy, classic, large! A great TONKA Truck! - Like the older Tonkas, solid, sturdy and large! I wanted this to be a gift for our grandson that would last! A dump truck that he could put things in, play with inside and outside, and enjoy for years. This is the one!
