// Stylized Dump Truck
// A simplified, parametric 3D toy dump truck with front cab, extended cargo bed, and four wheels.

// The model includes:
// - A chassis block forming the base
// - Front and rear fenders with hex wheel cut-outs
// - Four cylindrical wheels with hubcaps
// - A sloped-front cabin
// - A tall, extended dump bed at the rear
// - Flat slab roof
// - Front circular headlights and rear rectangular taillights
