1950 Tonka Utility Truck COE Semi Hauler Restoration 4K
Рет қаралды 689,754
Жыл бұрынI purchased this 1950 Tonka Utility COE Semi Truck off eBay May of 2022 for a total of $121.48 after tax and shipping. I've been looking for one of these original stake bed style trucks for awhile and wanted to add it to my collection. This one stood out to me due to the colors. I really like the fact it had a green chassis, red cab and a yellow box. You just don't see them often this way, I honestly thing someone may have changed the cab top at one time?? Does anyone know if they came factory in this color combo? Either way, I was glad to see this toy being complete minus the chain that runs across the back of the bed. I really enjoy the way this one came out. I reused my tire mold from the video of my 1948 Tonka Toy Transport Semi Restoration which you can check out at this link • 1948 Tonka Toy Transpo...
Thanks soo much for watching!!

I appreciate how you actually restore the toys. Many people modify them and call it restoration when they are really modding. You restore true to original which keep me watching the channel.

@Quickened1 Жыл бұрын
The itsy bitsy spider saw what was coming, and ran for his life! 1:20. If you really want to get rid of the bubbles in the tires, I suggest getting some sort of vibrating platform and putting the mold on it for several minutes while wet. This in theory will "shake" the bubbles out. A similar thing is done with concrete where they put vibrators in the wet mud to excite the bubbles to the surface. I think you should try that before redesigning the molds... Your skill is second to none man!
@sarahmerkel5349 4 ай бұрын
I love watching your content! I love how you bring back these wonderful toys! Watching them have life again is so cool. I watched another video and you asked how to get the bubbles out of the rubber for the tires. After you get it all put in the mold before you place it in the high pressure pot, pick it up and give it a few gentle taps on the table. The tapping would force the bubbles to pop. Just an idea for you. :)
