Vtg Buddy L Bell Telephone GMC 550 Steel Hydraulic Bucket Boom Truck

Welcome to our company, "The Bomb Shelter", one of the nation's largest stores of its kind selling vintage and antique items from all eras. eBay local pickup is available during business hours, please contact if you need this option! HERE WE HAVE: A vintage (c1950s? 1960s?) Buddy L truck! This is the Bell Telephone bucket/boom truck, made of pressed steel! The truck is a GMC 550 in green and the bucket has a hydraulic lift when the lever near the base is pressed down. Comes with a small trailer but I don't have the orange roll piece that looks to have originally gone on it. CONDITION: Acceptable, vintage condition! There are surface scratches, scuffs, and small paint splatter spots scattered throughout. The silver accents have color loss to them and there are some small color loss spots to the metal truck. Some spots of surface corrosion, particularly near the base of the bucket arm and on the bracket on top of the roof of the cab. The rear bumper/tailgate piece is a little misshapen. The metal piece on one side in the bucket's arm is a little misshapen. The "GMC" emblem on the front doesn't seem to be missing anything but there are two small nubs coming out of the bottom that make it look incomplete or broken? The Bell decals are a bit yellowed. I have the trailer for the truck, but don't have the orange reel piece for it. Hydraulic lift seems to work fine when released, although it makes a little bit of noise.. may need greased? Will ship exactly as pictured, so please see photos! MEASUREMENTS: Truck measures about 5 1/4" wide and 14 3/4" long at furthest points. The trailer is about 4 3/8" wide and 7 7/8" long including the bracket to attach it to the truck. SHIPPING: Calculated.
