Thanks for taking this 70 year old back to when I was 8. I had the same truck except yours looks to be about a 1956 model. mine was the 1958 Ford suburban pumper with black wall tires. The only difference in the two are the tires and the grill. I had the hydrant with the garden hose connection and the hard suction supply line. I went to many fires during my childhood with that engine. my dad and mom gave it to me for Christmas in 1958. He was a firefighter and later on I became one. I still have the engine and the box it came in although losing some of the stuff. Not even Tonka makes toys like that anymore. Thanks for the mems.

I am 64 and I still have mine also. I put it under my Christmas tree every year as an unwrapped gift. My favorite story about mine is explaining to people how the metal rails and metal “lights” on the top truck bed got bent in. My father and a neighbor used the toy to move an old, extremely heavy refrigerator to the alley. Talk about Tonka Tuff! As a child I was always disappointed that none of the headlights, tail and emergency lights would light up. But even way back then I imagined maybe someday in the future they would make tiny lights that I would be able to wire it up someday. Obviously, micro lights have been around for a few years. Heck, even tiny battery lights are easy to apply. I lost my metal ladder along time ago. I preferred the wooden ladder I made to replace it better anyway.

Not only did this dude restore this firetruck to such a beautiful state it looked newer than any firetruck mint in box, but he actually went out and bought a mini tonka hose connector in the shape of a fire hydrant, lit some pop cycle sticks on fire and put it out, with a TONKA TRUCK. Tonka actually made a fully functional fire truck. I’m speechless.

Imagine a bunch of toy cars and trucks like these with shiny paint jobs and chrome bumpers all in the front of a toy store being lit by lights like jewels in a display case! Or even under a tree with the sparkling glow of hundreds of multicolored lights! With the ever so soft glow of a fireplace nearby!

Because they're cheap and care more about quantity over quality. Money over children's prolonged entertainment and feed off the disappointed stares of the elderly who had a good upbringing.

@@EvrainBrandigan also why lego is pretty pricy, not just because of the license properties (that is a factor). Lego is made to last and is pretty high quality stuff. I still have my sets i had as a kid and my mom has her sets and peices from when she was a kid.
