I Purchased this 1957 Tonka Gasoline Semi Tanker Truck off the Facebook market place January of 2021. It was in great shape for it age just heavily corroded and rusted. The rear wheels were replaced with Struct wheels at some point during its life. It was missing the three doors otherwise everything was there. Thank you for watching!

I wonder about the children whom used to play with those toys. Makes one wonder where they are at now. All of those Tonka dump trucks were once prevailent in the bedrooms of young children so long ago. All of the memories attached to these Tonka trucks is something Id love to hear about from the people whom once played with such toys. The stories would be priceless.

I grew up to work in a real iron mine with the BIG Tonka trucks. Some of the steel in these trucks undoubtedly came from this mine in Minnesota.

My dad has 2 in storage from him and his brothers gifted to him between ages 4 and 7 from this year and close around. This very same one as well... which is how I found this video... and it's in good shape but a lot of the paint has gone he said his younger siblings would have them in their mouths he also has all kinds of medical issues and I have to wonder if these have anything to do with it...

I had a Tonka dump truck as a child and loved it. I don't know where it disappeared to, but I probably still have it. I still remember playing with it in the yard and occasionaly dinging my shins on it. Good times.

@hotwheelsbob2000 2 жыл бұрын

I love the restoration. Having done a couple myself, I realize the time and effort that goes into one. Just for clarification: a truck is not a semi unless it is a truck and trailer. Semi refers to a trailer that has the front supported by the truck. A full trailer has a dolly under the front and is not supported by the truck but pulled by a tongue on the dolly. Hence there were originally full and semi trailers. They were terms used for licensing and meeting state requirements before the Federal laws kicked in. A semi truck is a truck that pulls a semi trailer. The Gasoline tanker that was restored is considered a straight truck.

1957 Gasoline Truck, original list price: $4.98. The 1958 model came with a hose and reel in the rear compartment. Looks as if it was enjoyed very much, judging by the axle wear to tires and frame. Rare find, beautiful restoration! Noticed a 1962 white roof fleetside. Do believe the only model to be a white roof fleetside would be a Jet Fuel Delivery, from the 1962 Airport service set. Missing its bedside panels and cross rails...very rare!

Lovely restoration of a great toy. I had one, and it had some terrible accidents, that were often firework related. I was fascinated by the old movie 'The Wages Of Fear', and this truck, with a little driver figure in the cab, sitting on a seat made from am old roadsign by my dad, spent a lot of time teetering on bridges made of scrap wood, or being stuck in mud. They don't make toys like they used to, anymore.

@kjamison5951 3 жыл бұрын

I understand why some folks prefer the play worm patina on old toys. But when they are badly rusted like this one, a full restoration is the only solution. Great job!

@davidsprague6385 3 жыл бұрын

Can only say this, you Sir are a true master at craftsmanship. Watching other, so called restorations, of plastic models purposely smashed, is not worth the time. Other previous resto of the mail van, demonstrates the beginning of the end. Some marketing geniuses figured out that they could save a few cents going to plastic chassis. Problem was, when the axle tabs broke off, it went bye bye. No options for repairs. Recently watched a supposed restore, j.g ad to laugh, the tonk was only a mear shell covering brittle plastic. Three quarters of the thing was all injected. No value in restoring, probably costs more than a new one. How they can pretend to be doing good work is beyond my belief. Art is art, that has a significant value in the eyes of the beholder. You are truly an art historian, restoring classic examples if how the founders set out to satisfy the needs if many young people, to open eyes of what can be done. Thank you for letting me rant. One last thing. The cat makes it all the better. Very much loved by its person.

What I find impressive most is remembering how it all gets put back together... I'm sure there's a process one just gets used to after doing so many but I just haven't mastered that art. And again, I'm sure there's an easy way to remember but again I'm not privy... Especially some of the electronics restorations Kudos, amazing.

You asked for suggestions on making bends and not cracking the fresh paint. Don't know if this works on the powder coat, but I've worked with many types of plastic, formica, vinyl, PVC, etc, and they all give a little better with a bit of heat. I've even remade plexiglass screens much like your windshields. If the glass is good enough, press clay on the inside, then dry it till fully hard. Then put the plexiglass over it and with a heat gun or toaster oven, heat it till it takes the right shape. Last, add your scores and grind to size.

Have you thought about doing a video on how you find your projects, the tools you use, the materials needed, and where you get parts. This would be very helpful for novices like me that because of your channel, might find the confidence to attempt a restoration. It could be done without having a bead blaster or a home powder coating set-up. Many businesses now offer this service, so it could easily be done by someone else. Keep up the great work.
