Great job. I love the presentation on KZbin better than Facebook, Facebook covers up your footnotes.

[@thetattooed6_9weirdo32]

Somebody commented on a video .. bringing me to this channel as I was searching to restore My Indiana Jones Lunchbox from Kindergarten and still have the thermos... These restores are awesome as I have Two Tonka trucks now that would be Awesome Restored ...

[@carolcurtis2220]

I love watching these type of videos. What I particularly like about your channel is the fact that you give a breakdown of your costs including the original purchase price. Thank you

[@ChipChannelRestorations]

Thank you! I know some of these I have way too much money into restoring, however I'm really not concerned about the cost. I just enjoy the restorations.

[@carolcurtis2220]

Thank you for sharing your “hobby “👍🏻

[@darrellboyd]

@@ChipChannelRestorations Could I ask where you were able to find your replacement parts?

[@ChipChannelRestorations]

@@darrellboyd Gasoline alley.com if you google search them they will come up.

[@darrellboyd]

@@ChipChannelRestorations Thanks, I've got a few Tonka Toys I want to restore myself, but I'll need parts.

[@taco2k3]

My brother had this Tonka dump truck in this color combo. It came with matching green bulldozer and trailer. Great job.

[@ChipChannelRestorations]

Thank you! I'll have to see if I can find a green bulldozer and trailer to restore for it!

[@taco2k3]

Chip I believe it was a T-6 bulldozer on a tilt trailer. Tonka set 134. Bulldozer was green, tilt trailer was yellow. www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/tonka-ford-dump-truck-trailer-479681303

[@stepaushi]

I like the old rusted one as well as your restored one. And I like that you painted it the correct colors. Very nice.

[@ChipChannelRestorations]

Thank you very much!

[@SpockvsMcCoy]

This non-hydraulic dump truck also came in two other color combinations: an earlier red body with green bed and a later tan body and tan bed with a white cab. This turquoise and yellow combo shows up in the 1964 Tonka Look Book. Suggested retail price was $4.00 which is about $34 in the year 2020. It would be cool if you restore all three color combinations.

Dude, that would be AWESOME! Thanks for sharing this fact and idea!

[@georgeshelton6281]

I've learned that some rusty iron toy trucks; they take an awful lot long time, to get restored. All to be made as good as new.

[@xaraxen]

Hours of fun for those kids that love playing The Contractor.

[@Seahorse1414]

Really nice job , it turned out great. If you spray white paint on some card you can carefully dab each tyre on like a print and it replaces all the lettering. It would finish it off perfectly . Very well done .

[@ChipChannelRestorations]

That's a great idea!

[@fair2middlin]

I love this video because you go after the bed-wall metal standards. So far I have not seen another. I assume it was welded and not riveted together.

Great looking truck! Thanks for posting!

Pretty cool to see the old tonka trucks based of a similar platform but all vary in models they made

[@Spannerwrench]

Great video as always. At 2:48...looks like one of the tools my my dentist uses.

[@TerryProthero]

I'm not crazy about the color scheme, but it is a perfect match to the original. So, perfectly restored with almost all original parts.

TOP Restauration

[@shanemcguire170]

One other suggestion @ 20:10, I have noticed you are using Green Stick to polish the nickle plating jobs. You will get a brighter finish using Jeweler's Rouge in stead of the Green Stick. Jewelers use a three stage process to get rings and other metals to "brighten up", white, green and then the rouge. Yes you will need three separate polishing wheels to execute the stages properly...

[@jonathanwrightington8835]

Great work. Amazing attention to Detail

[@ChipChannelRestorations]

Thank you! I appreciate that!

[@ischmel3884]

Nice Landscape Service dump truck. I have the trailer and loader for the set, but have been unable to locate the dump truck. Nice restore and great find.

[@ChipChannelRestorations]

Thank you! I purchased this one at one of my local antique stores. Had to pay a little more than I wanted to, but it was well worth it!

[@nandom3]

Great job!! Using the “right” rivets gives it a nice finishing touch ! Congrats!

Als ik zeg: "het is een prachtige restauratie", dan doe ik u tekort. Vooral gezien de zorg die u besteed aan deze restauratie, moet ik zeggen: "het is een schitterend juweeltje" geworden. Ik vind het fantastisch zoals u aan elk deel zorg besteed om dit resultaat te bereiken.

Another outstanding job.

[@ChipChannelRestorations]

Thanks again!

[@mikemullay5622]

I have one of these dump trucks in nice original condition. The cab is red while the dumb bed is green. I got it off of Ebay many years ago. Tonka's are nice to work on as many reproduction parts are available.

[@augiehooper7927]

I really appreciate what you do

[@SideShowFive]

You should paint the dashboard with a corresponding color and sign your name on the dash! Amazing work!!!!

[@steven2212]

Such a well made truck. Fantastic restore.

[@jontompkins1844]

I love your videos but sometimes you get a toy with such awesome patina that it's almost a shame to restore it. This was one of those toys. I'd pay more for it as it was than I would restored.

[@shanemcguire170]

Suggestion at 8:34 with the tail gate. I know your attempt was to preserve the "Tonka" stamp in the tail gate, hence the pieces of wood, but you could have also taken those same pieces of wood and temporarily hot glued them to your vise jaws and used the vice to straighten the tail gate from both sides by closing the vice jaws with the wood, rather than using the hammer. Also I think in the instance of the dump-truck bed, you might have considered making a modification to the tail gate latch. Bending the bed ribs is a pretty risky move when you are going to have to bend them back after powder coating and ruin the paint job on the (fold lines).

[@joebacarella2829]

Very nice, this must be early work, before you started using primer. the primer makes a huge difference on paint quality. nice job

[@albertcyphers1532]

The only thing that worries me is some collectors frown on restoration. They would rather have the patina

[@JohnnyNowhere]

Okay, that does it. Subbed.

I've also been thinking of Bugs bunny resurrecting. Speaking of who or even what's getting restored.

[@georgeshelton6281]

What I realized is that the 'Tiny Toons' characters; they're not the ones whose calling the shots, even though the 'Tiny Toons' characters they made the least amount of mistakes. In the future; Bugs bunny will be nothing, compared to Ren and Stimpy. These guys are like, cartoon characters that are from the pit of hell.

MASTER! it's high surgery!

[@ChipChannelRestorations]

[@BuftaChYmes]

That unpainted bed area is going to rust as soon as humidity hits it. You should've atleast used primer on that area. Infact for a smoother finish, always use primer. Spread a towel for the final assembly. Save scratches.

[@ChipChannelRestorations]

I agree, I don't think I will do another dump truck this way, was definitely a learning experience.

[@jordanplayz288]

Hoi me like this👌.

So enjoyable watching the transformation of these great toys. Curious as to which type of sand blast media you are using?

[@toddbowers8799]

Sorry, Found it under products used.

[@debiagrue7752]

You did a great job on the truck but from now on file down the back lift rod to make it round (safety) like you put the black tip on lift rod for the dumpster part. Even if the parts doesn't originally come that way. It puts a nice finishing touch to the truck.

Press in and backwards on both posts. If they are stuck wiggle them with a pair of needle nose pliers from the bottom. They occasionally get stuck on me as well. I've struggled with them for quite awhile sometimes.
