1953 Tonka COE Livestock Semi Truck Restoration

[@dr.skipkazarian5556]

The worse the condition.....the sweeter the restoration! (My personal philosophy regarding the old guys I restore) Best wishes and stay healthy.

[@rongreen4231]

This is no longer just a toy. It's a piece of history. It must be very satisfying for you to know that you are preserving a valuable artifact from our past. Well done.

[@jocelynvitale4577]

It’s not a valuable artifact it’s a just a very old toy

[@rongreen4231]

That, my dear, is a matter of opinion .

[@lindahood523]

Chip you ever bigger cars and trucks what you are doing is Great ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@nancymills1884]

I find it interesting that the 1930’s toys tested negative for lead paint but the ‘newer’ 1950’s toys were positive. Your work is top of the line and always a pleasure to watch from start to finish.

[@georgeshelton6281]

This was one of the oldest iron toy trucks; that have ever gotten restored, in spite of the fact that it had a 1953 manufacturing date. This iron toy truck had lead paint laced with.🚚 🛻 🚚 🎨 😳 😬 👏 😐 👌 🎨

I love watching the sandblaster at work. I find it most satisfying and relaxing.

[@David-uq5tl]

I truly love all the methods you use to restore you project. As I always was told to do it right you need the right tools! I think you have and use the right tools skillfully. Makes the outcome outstanding it’s amazing that you have the tools to make dies and reproduce parts

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Thank you for giving the sheep a ride. I would've been disappointed if they hadn't. And the pickup at then made really laugh out loud. Thanks. You do an awesome job.

Radical restoration! That truck made some kids very happy back in the day and now it's ready again. Excellent!

[@Nestophallies]

I remember playing with Tonka Toys. That was long ago. Many great memories. Thank you for your appreciation and restoration of them.

[@georgeshelton6281]

Another thing I never knew about this toy livestock truck was that, it had a wooden floor, we nowadays make certain toys out of plastic or even aluminum.

[@yakubpatel1403]

It's not a toys. It's all our past. After your restoration the time coming back with new life and respect. Very well done!

[@stacydh7244]

Not all hero’s wear capes. This is incredible. I picture a kid in the right time frame opening this on Christmas or a birthday and it’s just amazing. Saving some of history

I have heard of vehicles held together with "bailing wire and spit", but this is the first one I've seen-outside of the old jalopy that the Beverly Hillbillies rode around in. Also, that particular toy would have been part of a collection, but boys can be rough to their toys. I played with my trucks until the wheels came off. I still miss the 32 Ford pickup, Willys Jeep and 65 stepside pickup. Great job Chip. Thank you for your interesting Sunday mornings.

[@leslietarkin]

It hurts my heart to see toys so mangled and broken. It makes my heart happy to see them refurbished and shining like new once again. Great job.

[@tommyherbert3931]

Enjoy watching research old and forgotten toys brought back to life. You do outstanding work paying attention to detail.

[@ronaldsteele6151]

I cannot put in to words the restoration I have just watched. That truck looked well beyond repair and ready for the Tonka Truck heaven. Best video by far, glad I came across your KZbin channel. I don't think I can ever walk away from a task again. Thank you for putting pride back in that truck.

[@noradennis4361]

I'm not into 'boys toys' yet I can't help watching these wonderful restorations. It's like watching a painting being restored and coming back to the beauty it once was. You've got me hooked to seeing what you bring back to life. Cracked me up tossing the sheep into the back and having them come back as 'lamb chops'. 😄 Great sense of humor. 🙂

This was a very simple restoration for this guy. it's the hour-long restoration videos that you know he put a lot of time and work in. Having said that, the livestock truck still looks great. Love this guy's skill and attention to detail! And he has a wry sense of humor with his toy cottonball sheep!

[@lonewolfwarrior69]

I found this channel by surfing the 'Recommended' videos and watched this particular video. Man, talk about a heartwarming, emotional memory. I have SUCH a massive appreciation for these old toys. They are the same as what my older,only brother (💓R.I.P.) played with and what I played with after him growing older. I'll keep some tissues around as I delve into the videos of this channel. 👍 💓👌

[@OBIOsim]

I liked the sheep with one giant eye! Great job restoring a classic farm toy!!

[@martinvs6415]

Love the ending. My wife says you gotta be a bit more gentle with the sheep. Hahahaha. Lamb chops. Too funny. But let it be said, that as long as Chip has a sand blaster and powder coat paint system, there shall not be one disfigured toy be safe from amazing restoration. Chip, you are the best. I love the red and that floor is special. The dollies really impressed me too. Can't wait to see what you are doing next.

Stunning work. I lived very near Mound, Minnesota growing up. Cold! That's why they had great toys...something to do inside five months out of the year.

I'm so in awe of people who can do things like this.

[@shawnwright4129]

First time I have ever seen metal wheels like that on a Tonka. Also first time I have seen lead paint on one too. I enjoyed watching you fabricate the needed items, especially the floor. Looks really sharp with the metal slats! For some reason I can hear the sheep yelling "Wheeeee!" as you toss them in there. Excellent retoration!

[@williamharris8367]

My impression was that the lead was in the orange repaint (not the original red), but there was no practical way to remove one and not the other. In another video/channel, a toy car had acrylic over lead paint. The stripper used removed only the top layer, leaving the lead paint beneath untouched.

[@barbaraharnois5315]

I didn't finish watching yet, but i love the condition of this car! I see a lot of love from parent (probably dad) to kid. A lot of "don't worry, I will fix it" even if there were no parts, or they have no money, or father has no talent for fixes like this, but it's really positive:)

Loved these...had them as a child back in the 50's. Smith-Miller's slogan was "Famous Trucks in Miniature". Plant was in Santa Monica, Ca. Your "rebirth" is better that when it left the Tonka Factory!
