I had one of these as a kid, and so did my wife. Only difference is, her dad kept hers stashed away in the basement (with the original 80's batteries!) where mine.... well I have no idea where mine went, but my family was big on rummage sales and moving.
She lived in the same house all her life and her family were hoarders. They didn’t throw much away. Which can SOMETIMES be a good thing.
It was a bit dusty when I found it, but a wipe down and some new AAs and it should be good as new. I tested the ‘transfer case’ and it goes into 2WD, 4WD, and neutral ok. I don’ t have the key to turn it on, but a simple screwdrivers works just as well.

Did you also have the smoking shakers? They were awesome they poured smoke out of the exhaust.

I know exactly what happened to mine. I took it apart to see how it worked when I was 5 or 6.

I had some H.O. trains that were supposed to smoke but barely did.

The scariest part is not only do I remember that toy, I remember those batteries. Growing up, there were red Eveready “9 Lives” batteries in everything .

I was more excited to see those batteries than the truck.

Hmm, that does look familiar. I might have had one, or a friend did. Those exhaust dumps are unmistakable.

Ah man that’s awesome. For monster truck dorks like myself those bring back some memories. A few collectors out there would be scrapping to get a hold of that one.
