✅ SOLVED Red Die Cast Truck

[Hunk-a-lead]

Looking for help identifying this toy truck. Words Made in China on the bottom. Word Gasoline on the tank. No other printing anywhere. Thanks in advance!

This was made by one of many companies in the 1970s and 1980s making toys in Hong Kong to sell world wide but mainly for the USA market trying to get in on the Matchbook and Hot Wheels market.

I found one unconfirmable mention that these "Motor Force" diecast vehicles were made by "Summer Toy Mfg, Hong Kong", but I can't find any firm confirmation on that.


Here's one like it in the original packaging.

Very close to that. “Motor Force” was registered as a trademark in the USA for diecast toy cars by the Summer Metal Products Manufacturing Co. of Hong Kong. The mark was registered on 8th March 1994 and cancelled on 11 December 2004 after failure to renew.
