1962 Tonka Cement Truck Restoration

[@johnboyd6943]

Once again we see a true artisan at work. That which would be scrapped by many is expertly restored to better than brand new. A true craftsman at work and it is a delight to watch you employ your many skills. Congratulations - again.

I’m 67 and had this truck as a child - great job !! My brother and I wore that truck out - so many memories

[@ninobism]

I was born in 1972 in Seoul, Korea. I had this when I was a kid. I certainly remember the 'Tonka' logo. Mine was orange color and the front part looked a little different. Thank you for remembering me of my childhood.

[@watrgrl2]

Though I’m a woman I had several tonka vehicles thanks to a grandfather who didn’t discriminate. My male cousins also got the same. I had the Allied Van lines moving van, the multi-car transport semi, and the fire engine and the road grader. They were all from the late 60’s early 70’s. Like you, I sure had fun playing in the dirt, making roads etc. And I still grew up to be a nurse and I don’t suffer any gender identity problems.

[@jerryking7502]

You know what I like about your channel? You don't falsely make these models look worse than they are! One popular youtube channel covers his models in sand and dirt before he starts! Excellent restoration by the way! Looks like that flesh fly was coming to inspect your work!🤣 I am so glad you chose to fix that cab! Great job! I do not envy you that sanding work! Kudos to you! Wouldn't super glue take care of that drum? Wow! Looks brand new! Ever play with your "toys"?😉

[@christiaanbrown4278]

Fantastic Cement Mixer😎. I had the smaller one and packed the barrel with clay, green clay. I was never able to get it all out. I was Very impressed that you repaired the cab instead of getting a replacement from another truck. Tonka made millions of those cabs. You did an excellent job with the repair too. You welded so that you didn't risk warping the steel👍. In the end I only saw a minute amount of filler, Brilliant work. I have been watching many of your restorations and you spend a lot of time wet sanding to get the paintwork just right, The vehicles come out so well, and the sanding is well beyond my level of patience.👍

[@BiscuitsMcGravy]

I had that truck when I was little. I had forgotten about it. Nice nostalgic moment. Thanks.

[@rodrigohorta-restauradorel882]

Excellent job... with all the required functions such as: painter, lantern, mechanical lathe, carver, assembler, parts washer... what else? Nothing, nothing!!! Perfect

[@Dan-uv5lw]

Again, Another awesome restoration. They just don't make toys like they used to. Back then they were good. Today, Nothing but plastic.

Love your Tonka truck treasury. Excellent restoration. Thanks for sharing.

[@ChipChannelRestorations]

Thanks for watching!

[@chazzyb8660]

We were a lucky generation to have such beautiful toys. I never had one of these Cement Trucks, but… Truly a thing of joy.

[@dxgypsyful]

Oh wow look how small the junkyard was back then! Glad to see the sheep were there.

[@markjeffels3327]

I had one of these in the 70's! I miss the metal toys from then and not the crap they make today!!

[@400brian]

Thank you for providing the list of supplies and providers. I have a pair of pickup trucks I received for Christmas in the mid-60s ( I told both grandmothers I needed a truck, LOL ) Now I am planning to restore at least one out of the two to give my grandson for Christmas 2020. They were much loved and were played with hard. I hope I can get one looking good again.

[@tdeasley]

One of your best videos yet. The patch panel on the cab was a work of art in matching the fender and bend at the bottom of the cab. Just fantastic!

[@johnraines4638]

Where is the best place to order replacement parts

[@saltdaemon4453]

the best resto worker on youtube.

[@筋肉娘が大好き]

When I was bored, I watched it every day, but I think it's good to fix it because it's like a doctor of a toy. It's like giving life. If the toys can come alive when there is no person, like the toys in Toy Story, all the toys may one day give you a great gift with a great gratitude and feeling of being born again.

[@ronaldoleksy8264]

Excellent workmanship. Door panel an everything. You are the best..

[@Datrebor]

That was amazing. The fact that you cut out the rusted metal and replaced it and made sure every curve and bend matched the original is great attention to detail. That is how they restore an actual truck.

[@terrystover7365]

Love watching you bring these toys back to life. They are just like new. Man, you're good!

[@fernandomcc7954]

Watching your restorations, that huge investment on time, the right tools, equipment, materials, effort and patience; kinda relaxes me. This is quality work.

[@simonschuh5283]

Well done probably one of the best ones I have seen you do. like the peroxide bucket trick.

[@robertphillips6296]

It never looked that good even when it was new! And an excellent job on replacement of the rusted out drivers door!

What? It looked far better when it was brand new in 1962.

[@kennethreichard9218]

You have madd game. seeing you cut out the rust and replacing it impressed the Hell out of me.

[@MarkAzzolino]

You are one of the best. Awesome work. Thank you for sharing.

[@scarbourgeoisie]

My favorite restoration on this channel, by far.

[@jamesjustice4515]

We use to melt lead on old vehicles and sand it down. It made fantastic filler. Your doing a beautiful job

[@davidoverstreet2875]

Got to love it. This guy is a master Craftsman.

[@donbraden8533]

That's truck is as old as me I was born in 1962 very nice job 😎👍👍

[@raemonedward8168]

Childhood memories. Thank you my friend. GREAT VIDEO.👍🏽

[@johnds6621]

you are a master craftsman. Thanks for bringing that truck back to life.

[@koonings1]

I enjoy your masterpieces of restoring those lost toys.

[@Indepthreview]

I had this toy as a small boy. Even new it didn’t look that good. Very nice job.

[@lanphere84]

Awesome I have a 2004 tonka roadside assistance towtruck love the restorations

[@charlesprice925]

Skill to do the job. Confidence to let others watch. Pro!

[@dudeparistx]

That door repair was top notch!

[@Hollgrl98]

The trick with the peroxide and the uv light was one that I didn't know. It was magical! I always learn something new that I can't wait to try! Thanks!

[@nancymills1884]

I remember playing with this truck as a kid. My cousins had some cool trucks, with Tonka being the best of the best. Beautiful restoration.

[@beldarin]

Lovely cinematography on this vid, thanks dude, your channel is a joy to watch

[@juancarlossanchezveana1812]

Amazing

[@anonymousunnamed3026]

I appreciate the fact that you use primer before you paint. I can't stress how much better it makes the final paint look, imo.

[@ralphreinhardt6020]

Wow , whatta great job you've done. That white plastic is approx 60 yrs old, now it looks brand spanking new. Awesome job sir !! 👍👍

[@ischmel3884]

Fully expected to see that cab swept off the table...truly the extra mile ! Great job restoring the drive mechanism and machining new axle keepers. Amassing quite a collection beautifully restored classic metal trucks, boat tail included. Sure they will be admired for years to come.

The trick you did to get the hub/lock is what I do on hoses stuck on the bibbs. 👍👍 just no heat .

[@dipakrn5230]

U have the passion, the perfection, the tools and above all the inspiration & the perspiration to get these masterpieces the treatment they deserve. Sometimes (everytime) they look better than they come from the factory!👍🏻❤️

[@jerrycoleman2610]

Chip, Nice restoration on the cement truck, thanks for sharing your video.!.!.!.

[@popeye807]

I would love to see that sand loader restored. Another great job Chip keep up the good work

[@rudytoth]

You are a master at these things of restoration. They look even better than at one time new on the shelves at a toy store. How stunning that you make them individual to shine really immaculate. 🏆👍🏻😊👍🏻☀️

[@ЛарисаКопылова-с1х]

The drum and gear whitening and the rust spot repair were seriously awesome and some of my favorite parts of your restoration vids!

[@andrewolson5471]

Taking on the challenge of fixing the rust holes in the cab... Now you're just showing off!

[@bella6792]

How beautiful these renovations are, a pity they weren't made with rear-view seats and doors that open. The panel looks wonderful 🤗

[@kathleenvanwagner1784]

So cool

[@1paultv22]

Nice, I had that as a child. A jealous friend stomped on the drum and smashed it just because he knew it was my newest and favorite toy at that time. I didn't talk to him for years after that. Haha, children's tragedies.

[@geoffquickfall]

Another work of art for the TonKa Museum. Airplane next! Those front tire removals reminded me of my rear panhard removal on my 73 Celica last year! The bolts would not let go! Too funny!

[@chrissharp5073]

You must have a Tonka graveyard near you cos they seem to end up in your parking lot!!!!! This has to be the first restoration whereby the body work gets the same treatment as a full size vehicle, absolutely brilliant piece of "micro engineering". Nice one Chip.

[@johncook3817]

That is really a very impressive restoration. The red against the white really works well.

[@robertscrimger6044]

Great Covid Channel! Inspired me to restore and clean up a few things

[@jasabasenara8124]

Outstanding, yet again!

[@scottcurrie7589]

Even with the rusted door repair, and the front tire Hubs. There was no dead end to this restoration. JUST A FEW DETOURS. Great job as always.

[@Sean_Yu715]

Awesome video. Really like the channel. Keep up the good work!!

[@ronalddean4834]

Great job, I had that truck when I was a kid and I also had the blue and white dump truck and the car hauler truck. You did a beautiful job. Thanks for sharing

[@peterevosirch7047]

That is amazing these trucks are made of good metal.

[@johnzeller1338]

Very nice work! Especially the metal replacement on the side of the truck. You would never know it had been done. Awesome 👍

[@ChipChannelRestorations]

Thanks 👍

[@annettemalaski1967]

I have never seen tires so bad they had to be chopped! This cement mixer is now a show-stopper! I vote for the dozzer for the next rehab!

[@annettemalaski1967]

Addendum: Rust and paint hide a lot! Wonderful repair job on door! I have never seen you mill parts before. Again outstanding work! Did you order a windshield? The old one looked okay. Your bucket UV bleach set-up is the bomb! Have you tried putting those sun-kissed headlights in for a dip? Could not tell what you nickel- plated. Was that PINK primer spray you used?

Just when I have seen it all in one of your other videos, you surpass it by doing this one. As Paul Sparr said, repairs of all kind and you came out with a model looking better than when it was first built back in 1962. Magnificent work; totally enjoyed this video.

Rust Never Sleeps !

[@paul-sparky-sparr4160]

I can hardly believe what I see. Repairs of holes in metal with Superglue and baking powder are known, but that someone would weld something like that (like a real truck) is absuloutly stunning. Terrific work, mate, I'm absolutely thrilled. Too bad I can only give you one thumbs up, you deserve at least ten. (here are the other nine 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼) Thanks for sharing and greetings from Cuxhaven on the German North Sea coast. 👍🏼😁🏅👍🏼😁

[@caroltanzi29]

That repair job on the hole was phenomenal. Fabulous!

[@lawrencereid9375]

I know it is probably a big pain in the butt for you when there is more than the usual damage to a piece. That being said, this subscriber marvels at your cutting, welding and lathe repair work. Your turning of a new axle cap on the lathe was a thing of beauty to watch. Makes the full restoration all the more impressive. Thanks for sharing your considerable skills with your viewers!

Had one as a kid, but it had a metal concrete drum on it. I wore it out. it was definitely a high mileage vehicle.

FANTASTIC is the only word to describe this totally awesome restoration. I think you have enough on that display table and it is time for a second tier, or another table. Love your videos Chip, keep them coming.
