I purchased this 1959 Tonka Service Box Truck off eBay July of 2020. It was in perfect shape for a restoration and overall in great condition for its age. At some point in it's life the ladder went missing and the holder for the ladder was some how ripped off the toy (Quite impressive). I was extremely happy with how this amazing restoration turned out.
Let me know how I did in the comments!

One of the reasons men love building things like real wood furniture and remodeling work is the reward they get from watching the customer's face and reaction

[@michaelsenatore9499]

These toys are all absolutely beautiful. The craftsmanship and care that goes into them are indescribable. No wonder they are so sought after and admired. I can bet that if you were to give this to a child nowadays they would love them and treasure them forever. They need to start making things like this again. These are quality products that never go out of style. The restoration work is incredible as well and the gentleman doing the work is an absolute artisan and skilled genius, period.

Very. Sweet 😌. Love. The. Blue. Nice 👍. Work. Brother. Lee

[@raywood8187]

This Tonka truck is from the same year that I was born. I did have some Tonka toys as a kid and it's a treasured part of my childhood memories and sparked my imagination when I played with them. Not many toys were built so well that they would outlast a childhood and could still be appreciated two generations later. Thank you so much for restoring some of what is so worth saving and would otherwise be lost to time and rust.

[@sheilahperry-rosales8748]

These old metal trucks beat the new plastic !

[@stevenseverance3692]

Great Job 👌👍💯 👏! Another Tonka Truck 🚛🚒 Construction 🏗️🚧 has been Rescued from the Junk Yard 😜! Thanks 👍 for Saving another Tonka Truck! Sincerely Yours 🤠 Mr Severance, "The Cake 😋 🍰🎂 🥳🎉 🎈 Man", "World 🌎🌍 Cruiser"&"Succulent 🪴 Collector", and "Teacup's & Saucer's Set's and Teapot 🫖 Collector".

[@martinvs6415]

This is the first time I watched this on a larger screen than my phone. A total delight watching the transformation from rust to shine. I like the way you constructed the ladder hanger and the metallic finish on the truck is beautiful! Gotta put this one into the Hall Of Fame for sure, Chip!

[@ChipChannelRestorations]

Thank you!!

Just a very beautiful restoration

I love restoration 😍 Thanks for sharing 🙌🏻

[@harleyguyinmilw]

[@sysublime5091]

I like that you paint the toys the near original color. My brother had a lime green tonka dumb truck that he would always met me play with my brother sharing his toys with his little sister is something I'll never forget.

[@johnkaiser8410]

Very nice truck! Love the metal-flake blue, very well done! Your usual high level of quality finishes & attention to detail show through as always! Very enjoyable, thank you for the entertainment!

[@susysusy8691]

I love your restorations.

[@texas6065]

Omg ! I Love it. These 59's were hardy Vehicals. Even though this is a Tonka toy My Family has a 59 that we (My Parents an 6 kids) moved from Missouri to Texas in. Lol ! Lots of fun. My Parents an 2 younger Brothers are gone now but my Oldest Brother has it now. So as I jabber on just know You did a Fantastic Job on this Truck. Your work is Great. Stay Safe.

[@MrArtVendelay]

You blasted me right back to 1959. It's saturday morning. I'm eating Sugar Corn Pops and a glass of Cocoa Marsh. I am watching Howdy Doody and then Deputy Dawg and Andy's gang. 1959 ahhhh.

[@bigcharliesmodelgarage296]

Beautiful restoration. Thanks for sharing

[@LWilliamsYoutube]

Beautiful job! It gives me a warm feeling to see these toys being restored to like-new condition. It gives me the feeling that not all of my childhood is completely lost. The sand blasting works amazingly well for removing rust, the bane of these old steel sheet metal toys. I love that you paint all sides of the metal, even those that will not bee seen, which will make this restoration last longer than the original toy. It's also wonderful that you have a source of wheels, tires, whitewalls and hubcaps. Very nicely done.

[@joebainter]

Love that metallic blue paint!! Beautiful as always

Lovely looking tin toy well done.

[@ischmel3884]

Beautiful restoration. Good call on the metallic. 1959 was the year Tonka introduced metallic paints into their colors. Oddly enough I'm working on the exact same model at this time. Just painted the service box last night.

Just beautiful restoration.

[@tracyc7813]

I love that color too. :o)

[@kodiakfamily8032]

Very cool. I really like the metal repair. The paint drying was really cool. It's my favorite car color. For my personal preference, I kinda like the original blue to keep the retro look. It's not a criticism, when restoring to original, that what in usually favor. That does not take away any of the awesome work. Such a cool video!

[@ChipChannelRestorations]

Thank you for watching! This is one of my favorite Tonka trucks. It's always soo tough to decide between factory colors and new ones.

I do love your restorations, some of the best, if not the best, out there. Thanks for sharing.

[@annettemalaski1967]

Blue, I'm soooo blue! Very nice job of giving this hard working truck a makeover. Can't believe that Tonka did not put a flip-up tailgate on this beauty. Chip , it looks like on video that you missed a few spots on the pink primer. (Around the cab/bed box joint). That funky color may give that impression.

[@LarryCassar]

I have one of those right now sitting my underneath my desk waiting for it to turn in life

[@RepairRestore]

Fantastic as usual. I love the color and the attention to detail is impeccable.

[@Popeye64]

Brilliant as ever. Love the metallic blue.
