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.

I'm 49. I got the tonka snorkel along with the ambulance when i was 4. For christmas of course. I still have them. My children have slightly played with them. It had the hydrant garden hose hook up and hoses that connected to the truck. I've considered buying replacements off ebay to equip it and i still may... soon I'm now a lieutenant with a fire Dept outside of Gary.

michelle ann gibbs I’m not sure how old your daughter is, but if she’s serious about becoming a firefighter, I would recommend looking into explorers programs. These are usually accessible at age 13 or 14. These explorer posts are meant to train children on what firefighting is really like and gives a significant input on what the future could be as far as firefighting. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask, I’m one reply away. Good luck!

R&R: Restores Tonka Firetruck to perfect, better than original condition. Also R&R: Wraps the firehose around the roller unsymmetrically like a madman.

Morning from Auckland, I have an identical Tonka Fire Truck I am restoring, minor damage though and have refurbed around 150 Dinky and Matchbox cars in the last year mostly to be used by my grandson. I am currently refurbishing a 55 year old wooden boat hull and building a cabin for it. I love your channel.

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.
