Water Truck

As a kid, I was always fascinated by water trucks. They were a pretty common sight in Hong Kong in the late 60s and early 70s. My uncle (uncle no. 5), who knew of my fascination, would draw water trucks on the blackboard for me. One day, he took me to a high scale toy shop and bought me this die cast water truck. Die cast toys in the early 70s were rather expensive in Hong Kong. I love this water truck and have kept it with me ever since. It had traveled thousands of miles with me when I moved from Hong Kong to the United States. It is still in very good condition.
