Can This Rusty Tonka Truck Be Turned Into a Tricked Out Low Rider?
Рет қаралды 50,509
4 жыл бұрынIn this video I restore a 1960s Tonka step side pickup and turn it into a fully customized low rider. It includes a set of wheel spinners, diamond plate bed cover, lowered cab with tinted windows. The custom powder coat job with a translucent powder coat so the design can be seen underneath the powder coat layer. Working LED headlights are added as well as underbody lighting.
This is Tonka truck is given a new life as a fully restored low rider pickup truck. The truck is fully dissembled and sand blasted. It is the powder coated, put in an oven to cure and reassembled. Some of the parts are replaced by new pieces but most are restored to like new condition.

Too dark and too dusty? I added light strips to the inside and changed out the dust collector with a shop vac. It is definitely better now but not perfect. I have a direct pressure blasting cabinet, those are more powerful than the syphon type but so dusty.

i loved what you did and I am in the middle of restoring 5 different trucks right now. These are my toys from 1963, I played with them and so did many other kids over the years. Seeing your restoration on this truck is leading me a whole different way on the pickup I just started. I bet the top is lower and it is slammed too. All that said I have two questions. Why not cut the front cab supports to lock down and also it looked like you didn't powder coat on the roof when you finished chopping it. Did I miss that?
@xSpecterx99999999 3 жыл бұрын
I should have cut it so it locked in, actually never crossed my mind. I powder coated it before chopping it. I really should have chopped before powder coating. that was a mistake. Glad you enjoyed the video. Good luck with you builds!
