1955 Tonka Log Truck Finished - Rare Tonka Restoration

[@wdclstudio6643]

Oh my gosh. I have been to a few museums across the country that houses lots of collectibles. I always keep an eye out for some or all of the Tonka set I got for Christmas in 1955 or 56. It was a wonderful memory to see the same log hauler that was part of the set. Thank you for sharing. Dale.

[@deucerider430]

Got one of those in the 50’s. Every Christmas my mom and dad would buy me one or two new Tonka trucks. I distinctly remember unboxing the log truck! 😎

[@thijsversteeg9010]

This truly a beautiful restoration. Those extra "tree trunks" make the whole thing even more valublable.

[@gabrielledormuth4634]

Who else as a kid loved their Tonka toys as they put them to work in the sandbox

[@jeremyfrix522]

Beautiful job front to back ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@wraith20072007]

Love watching that rust disappear and that fast hammering sound is hilarious lmao, great job Bro.

[@MarrockV]

I've been having fun with that truck I got from you... I tell people I got this great little antique toy dumptruck from ebay and show them the before pic, then tell them how much I paid... the reactions are great but then they get even better when I show them the after pic. Some even want to argue that it can't be the same truck, so I hit them with the video link. This little truck means a lot to me, thank you for letting me buy it.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Very cool!

[@timothywright4998]

amazing to see one of those again one of my friends growing up had a large collection of Tonka toys, and that was one of them amazing

[@dirtbikeman2952]

Hey man don't worry about the hate comments. By making these videos you make our days. Thanks

[@robertcreighan2983]

Best Tonka restoration yet!

[@darrendrew8224]

Loved the logs and chains, made it more authentic 👍👍

[@alanbarker0901]

Another awesome restoration... but have to admit the double "Yay!" for the new cabinet was the best bit! 😊

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thanks! it's a pretty awesome cabinet, had to give it the double lol

[@samanthadean1083]

This is soo cool!!! I wish they still made toys like this!!!

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@alanm3438]

I am always glad to see something old made new again. Thanks for sharing your skills. Thanks for preserving a small piece of history. I sure wish I could have gone on a tour of a factory when they were making toys like this. You did a great job on the video and the project. 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@chemcody5119]

Sweet! Might just be my new favorite. Congratulations on the new sand blasting cabinet. The stationary nozzle was a great idea. Thanks for saving some our history.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thanks 👍

[@judyforstner1108]

I have two sons that work in the woods and I am sure they would enjoy this video.

[@fisheyenomiko]

Er Mah Gerd! You made me so happy when you added the little logs! You even chained them to the truck! Thank you so much for going that extra mile!

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Great job as always, I’ve never seen a Tonka logging truck . That’s a keeper

[@biggtrux]

One of the few times I enjoy watching paint dry. Great job!

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

lol Thanks 👍

[@richardbradley4116]

Had one just like this when I was 10 years old. Even the color is the same. Me and my brother got a set of 4 or 5 Tonka trucks for Christmas that year. Love to have them today. You do great work.

[@toddcarpenter714]

Watching these videos make me feel very nostalgic! I had a Tonka log truck in the mid 60's. It even had wooden dowels cut to length for the logs!

[@StudioPluche]

Another superb restoration job. Absolutely love the end result.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thank you very much!

[@barbarakosloski9260]

That new cabinet is better than the one we have at work and we're purportedly a professional metal working plant.

Nice restoration. I still have a 1957 Tonka Tipper truck in Brown fully working in mint condition. Also a Red Tonka covered truck 1958 with a boat trailer, in mint condition. Both boxed and hardly played with, hence unmarked. Sent to me in Scotland from America in 1957/8 as Christmas Presents.
