1962 Tonka Jet Delivery Truck Pickup One year Only Rare Restoration

I purchased this 1962 Tonka Jet Delivery Truck on eBay February of 2022. I've been looking for one of these bad enough shape that it needed restoration. This truck was made one year only with the truck bed sides and Jet Delivery decals. When I opened the box much of the paint had rubbed off in the bubble wrap but what remained was extremely cool looking. There was green and red corrosion on the bare metal parts, the paint was all wrinkled up and peeling away, the majority of the body had extreme amounts of rust while other parts you could see what appeared to be clean metal. The wheels and tires were shot and I had to purchase replacements as well as for the glass which was broken. Overall I love how this project came out and honestly I love the pictures of the corrosion prior to the rebuild, it was absolutely stunning. Thank you again for watching!

Though I liked the various dolls I was given, I envied my older brother's Tonka cars, dump trucks snd crane. When I was around six, my Dad gave me a "found" blue horse trailer for my various plastic animals. I played with my long trailer more than my metal kitchen set (refrigerator, stove and sink). Once we became teens our toys were passed down to younger relatives or donated. Thank you for bringing them back to such amazing conditions. 🍄🍄

Great video! absolutely love the way it turned out, however I think I would have stuck with a turquise, the green just doesn't do it justice. And maybe would have done the endgate lettering white, to match the rest of the accents

@darthdmc Жыл бұрын

The original paint looked like pastel blue, so it was a surprise to see it painted green.

@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648 Жыл бұрын

I'm curious whether getting the turquoise would have required a custom mix of the powders rather than an existing single color powder, meaning that there would need to be enough mixed (and tested) to do the entire job. I.e. uniform color reproducibility on all the parts (including something that might need to be fixed in future) might have been why not turquoise. I really don't know the full process, but I believe I have seen that Chip dips his powdercoat powder from factory furnished containers.

@janareeves7482 Жыл бұрын

Another amazing restoration! Thank you for sharing! I agree that the pattern and texture of the paint flaking and corrosion was interesting. I see that others have commented that the original paint appeared more turquoise, which I like very much; but I am also a fan of the green that you chose. Both colors are appropriate to the era. Hello to Beaker and the sheep. 😊

@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648 Жыл бұрын

The checkering was a bit like something that had been in a fire, but the truck overall didn't look like it had been. Could the choice of color have to do with what the powder manufacturer makes available as standard colors? I'm sure a turquoise could be mixed, but there would need to be enough of it to coat everything, and some kept for any future repairs to that particular toy. (Or perhaps an exact formula by weight of standard color powders arrived at, and that formula then kept with the toy.)

@DismayingObservation Жыл бұрын

Suggestion when applying pressure-sensitive decals. Spray a bit of soapy water on the model and the back of the decal. That will allow you to position them. When the water evaporates, the decal is in place for good.

Nice. I was born in 1962. Can not remember what year I got my Tonka fire engine, I believe 1966. It pumped water. I still have the engine. I pull it out for the Christmas Tree every year. I did not find a Tonka. When replacing the sewer line in my 1951 house, I found a rubber truck. I did clean it up.
