Abstract
A self-powered toy vehicle chassis adapted to removably receive a plurality of different types of bodies, such as a dump truck and a fork lift. A body receiving and dispensing support is provided which, when the toy vehicle chassis passes through carrying a removable body, lifts the body off the chassis and stores it in an overhead position and then enables the chassis to receive another previously stored overhead body and continue with this body thereon. If the direction of the vehicle chassis is reversed and again passed through the body receiving and dispensing support, the two bodies will again be interchanged on the chassis and such interchange of the two bodies will occur each time the toy vehicle chassis is reversed and passed through the body receiving and dispensing support.
