In 1980, Lego offered this little dump truck as a nice addition to any Tabletop Town:



It contained one fig, unfortunately the torso had no printed pattern or sticker:



Here's the Dump Truck that included three sets of the large wheels:



The truck does not turn in the middle, but the bin structure does dump:



And lastly, the complete set:



This Dump Truck is on it's way to Public Works #6383 (review coming soon).

Dump the Big Loads!  - with 6648 Dump Truck

This is a perfect example of a classic town vehicle. Very basic in its design, but performs its job quite well. I'm give it a 5 out of 5, but i would have liked to see a couple of 1x1  round transparent yellow plates on the top of the black "role bar" to act as caution lights. Other than that a great little set for its time!

This is one lovely dump truck, with yellow as its principal color.  

I have no major complains on this set, and I agreed with you that this is a great addition to any LEGO Town. However, if the driver seat comes with a cover, it will look much more complete.  

The yellow big bin, doors are the plus factors for this set. Without these design factors in place, it will not be as lovely as it should be. Furthermore, if I remembered correctly, I am quite sure that the dump truck make used of hinges that is used as a form of pivot in these sets, to create playablity.

Although the driver seat comes without a cover, but the overall design makes up for it. Taking into consideration that this set is produced in 1980, I am very impressed by it.

Therefore, I gave it a final "5".  

Thanks Brickset for all of the classic reviews!
