1959 Tonka Service Box Truck Restoration

[@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!

Thank you!!

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

[@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.

This channel has now become a staple of my Sunday mornings. Thank you for teaching me each week.

[@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 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!

[@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.

That is a Priceless Collection. I get so much enjoyment out of watching these restores. Wonderful job!

Just a very beautiful restoration

[@lawrencereid9375]

GREAT paint job! I'm glad you salvaged the windshield so easily.

[@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.

you did a great job restoring the box truck.

I love restoration 😍 Thanks for sharing 🙌🏻

[@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.

[@allanweaverling730]

What a great restoration. The color is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@joebainter]

Love that metallic blue paint!! Beautiful as always

[@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.

[@bigcharliesmodelgarage296]

A really beautiful restoration and fabrication. I just restored a Dayton, so heads up....it has lead-based paint. The end result was a real work of labor, patience, and art. Best wishes and stay healthy!

[@martyclack8782]

Nice job

[@maxadrian]

What a beautiful collection. You must be very proud. Just wonderful. Thanks.

[@texas060]

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.

I had one of the service trucks like this when I was a youngster, way back when. Good memories.

[@vernabink2865]

Excellent again.

[@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.

Your making quite the impressive fleet of Tonka and Wyandotte Vehicles for yourself. Good show!

[@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.

[@jrand2631]

Beautiful work, and an impressive collection you got there! 👍👍👍

Did I just see a rollback / aka ramp truck in the pile? Would like to see it restored. Cool to restore classic toys that are worth money.

[@brianklein1960]

YES!! The rollback could be used to haul in future projects! Give the tow truck driver a break. 😂

Dude, well done. I gotta tell ya I really dig your restos. When I get my shop set up I'm gonna start doing all of my old ones from when I was a kid. I really like the lighted ones.
