This Tonka rescue is one of the rustier projects I have attempted! The surface rust was not as bad as some of the other toy restorations I have completed, but the parts that were rusted, were extremely rusted through! By the time it was done I had a ton of pitting and missing material to deal with! Check out the video for some sandblasting, powder coating, and some serious sheet metal repair!

As soon as the truck went back together, I was thinking BIGFOOT. Just needed the decals on the side. That blue looks lovely. Nice save with the truck bed. The bed coating looks wonderful.

For the truck bed, maybe something like a wooden bed could have been a nice choice ? (just saying, I'm no expert) =)

Loved seeing an old favorite getting restored. Great video! Looking for the SUV that Duke came with. Also, please tell Duke that I’m sorry I taped an M-80 to his back when I was nine. Also, the narrating was a fun touch.

I probably do not have a life - night after night watching toy trucks, furniture, cars, watches and a long list of rusty things restored and given a new life?. Sandblasting is a blast. I know how to turn a piece of firewood into a beautiful bowl. I know how to repair a Bobcat. I could take apart a Rollex. Chair with a broken leg - no problem, veneer lifting, no problem. But your Yippee! Moment is the tops. Thanks for these videos.

Kinda meh about the narrator. I'm used to you doing episodes AMSR style. Also no detailing of the interior, no one seems to paint or weather the seats/interior. Aside from that, this restoration was phenomenal!!! The truck bed solution, that blue over chrome finish was spectacular! Love it. And the chrome around the rim of the wheels. Love it! Thanks for sharing.

I got one of these trucks when I was five (birthday present). It was black with a big eagle sticker on the bonnet and flame stickers on the sides, it had a red / orange motorbike clipped in the back. My sister broke the front forks on the motorcycle and chewed the rear tyre (she was only three) and I played with it till the stickers came off and the wheels got so loose they would come off by themselves. It was finally sent to Tonka heaven courtesy of my sister after she left it in the driveway and dad backed the car over it, it was 14 years old.
