1961 Tonka Fire Truck Restoration

[@ChipChannelRestorations]

Awesome Video Joe DIY!!

[@MarkMeadows90]

There you are Chip. I hope you're doing well!

[@ModelA]

Dang, this thing has SO many pieces.

[@RestorationVideo]

*_It is so enjoyable to watch a skilled artisan fix something like this. And he has all the needed tools too which helps. Thank you for this great video._*

[@xzytqweo3538]

From the beginning until now you have gained much skill in restoration. It's not an easy job, but I am sure you do not look at it as a job but as an enjoyment. Taking something that many would consider junk or too far gone to bring back. I am glad to see there are many like you who still see it's worth saving. We will never see the workmanship and details in today's toys like they were back then.

[@ModelA]

A new Joe DIY video!!! Today just keeps getting better.

[@devanyeoman6285]

Wow that thing looked beautiful!

[@CJ_7519]

That truck looks good enough to sell. As for the next restoration, that camper most definitely needs a makeover.

[@maxfoeaman7584]

[@samanthadean1083]

[@jasonvandervalk3679]

When I was kid we used a Tonka dump truck as a doly moving a 8 foot viking depfrez that truck held it good.

[@keithmiller3120]

The camper would be cool… nice job 👍🏻 on the fire truck

[@bluescatreimer]

Like new, you sure got it shined up nice and all the trim loos great! Either project would be great but I really dig the camper, it’s really neat!!!

[@steventinsley5983]

Great Work!!!Love me some Tonka!!

[@TapscottJ]

The camper! And great work. Nothing is like a Tonka Truck.

[@robynperdieu3434]

Yep. I bought one for my young son in the early 80s and I could not bring myself to get rid of it. I still have it. Fond memories of my little five year old making realistic fire sirens...the neighbors would come out looking for the fire! 😊🚒

[@KongRestoration]

Great restore Joe

[@altoncarlson8801]

[@pegjames188]

In 1961 i was riding my Tonka lorry or tonka crane down a half mile tarmac lane of about 40 degrees slope made a lot of noise shook a fair bit only had to watch for an occasional tractor but a lot of fun. Eventually wore the wheels away.

[@ВикторГалянин]

Супер красивая реставрация. Спасибо, лайкаю.

[@RestorationAustralia]

Awesome Tonka, nicely done.👍

[@chrismayer3919]

How many Tonka trucks has this dude saved? I’ve lost count… 😌👍

[@noahboynton733]

Definitely the camper.

[@robynperdieu3434]

Yep, the camper!

[@MarkMeadows90]

Haven't seen an upload from you in a while. Great Tonka restoration as usual!

[@thiagomanobatera]

Excelente!!!

[@moneneu3349]

Bitte den Camper, der ist wesentlich interessanter 😊👍🏻

[@kevinpariseau8307]

I really enjoy watching your channel. Question: WHAT IS THE OLDEST TOY THAT YOU'VE EVER RESTORED?

[@jasonvandervalk3679]

Anything today doesn't comper to the quality back then.

[@davidjohnston330]

CAMPER 👌👌👌

[@jacobmaurin7549]

That red stepside pickup. You should turn that into a fire command vehicle.

[@TheJcochrane]

The pick up 👍🏻🇻🇪👏

[@grahampickering1560]

💯 % the camper 👍

[@mikesilva3868]

Cool 😊

[@Toyota-AE86]

Blue Camper next

[@mskayla7747]

Do the camper next.

[@LarryCassar]

Yes ❤😂

[@anthonyellis987]

My vote is for the camper van.

[@transport_restoration]

I like any red car 😆

[@tommyherbert3931]

Awesome

[@FORDCAMPERSPECIAL]

Truck and camper next.

[@AlvaroLucard]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@miteytuff1]

60 years later the fire engine is solid enough to be restored. None of the toys made today will be restored. They don't make 'em like they used to.

[@brian102256]

Camper next, please!

[@buzzedwinaldrin7006]

The camper for sure!

[@quartzlierquartzlier]

👍🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒👍🎨❤👍🔩👍🪛👍🛠👍🧰💯👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌🗜🗜🗜👍🍾🍾🍾🥂🥂🥂🥳🥳🥳👍 Like 👍

[@jimcummer681]

Yes the camper for sure!

[@clauswerle]

Great

[@donbrown3599]

Where did you find the new axles and the keeper for axle? Where did you buy the C clamp for the rivets?

[@Ampelfreund]

Camper next please

[@scott1395]

I had the white wrecker when I was a kid after I I found it under my parents house where I grew up recently, windshield was gone, was kinda rough, friend of mine gave me $40 for it!!

[@kimbishop4734]

The camper. No question.

[@p71collector]

Restore the camper next, please.

[@frasssuliman5998]

❤❤❤🌼🌼🌼

[@captainmidnight3522]

One minor criticism: I would have spend a little more time on the running boards. Even a cheap set of Harbor Freight metal shaping hammers could made those runners look straight and new.

[@raywilson800]

⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@andrewhenneberry9765]

Rescue and Restore actually has the same firetruck.

[@donaldhineman5161]

I would love to to some restorations. My question is where do you find all of these new parts?

[@joe_diy]

gasolinealleytoys.com has the vast majority of parts you'll need for any project

[@mikesilva3868]

​@@joe_diy😊more videos

[@yankee_tango]

It looks like instead of just re painting the toys, he powder coats them. It gives them a hard and more durable finish so the toys may be used by young kids once again.

[@scottmacleod6301]

I think the camper, where are you getting the replacement parts? I have a couple I want to restore.

[@joe_diy]

Gasolinealleytoys.com

[@bigcountrysgarage2.030]

Please restore the truck with the camper

[@richardjackson3593]

Where do get your decals ?

[@duanemiller5606]

I vote for the camper?

[@loganbloom6191]

could you do some old tractors i loved them when i was young but i never saw one in near mint condition

[@neilhaas]

🚒🚒🚒🚨🚨🚨🛑🧯🤗☺️❤😊

[@Xxxxxx.5303]

[@BIGGOTOR1046]

Why not both?

[@georgeshelton6281]

Would I dare say that this is my homework?
