1962 Tonka Motor Transport Restoration

[@enriqueaguilar4892]

Great work for these vintage Tonka trucks n vehicles that you are restoring again n they bring back old vintage memories

[@fishin11]

I got the same truck. Got mine in 1960 at four years old. Still have it on display in my house, in very good condition, never been outside.

[@williamtheconqueror4563]

This one meant a little more to me because I played with one just like it as a kid. Thanks! Seeing it all restored brought back lots of fond memories. We didn’t have a lot of toys but we made use of all the ones we had. Those were great times.

[@garyalexander5686]

Agreed. I had one of these. My brothers and I loved it. It's so strange seeing something I haven't thought about for so many years. I think it was that Tonka yellow color that initially jarred my memory.

[@DaveStarr4]

wow.........that was amazing very professional work very nicely done......but you forgot one thing........these originally had loading ramps that went with it I used to have one of these as a kid.......there should have been 2 slots for the end of the loading ramps to go in on the lower deck and a ramp holder underneath the end of the trailer

[@FanManSC]

It's curious, because if you watch disassembly, there is only one slot in the middle. I wonder if this year came with a separate ramp?

[@leonbachman5345]

I received one of those in1962 as a Christmas gift when I was 5 thanks for the memories

[@ursus353]

Same here, we are the same age, I had this, and a moving van, red truck, with a white trailer; I keep waiting for that one to show up.... Oh, I still have the red truck even though the trailer is long gone...

[@leonbachman5345]

@@ursus353 I still have 3 red dump truck. Yellow nylint dump truck and a army jeep

[@lindawatson3356]

Fascinating how you take them apart and are able to put them back together without having extra parts leftover...lol Beautiful restoration .

[@Jason_The_Stooge]

This has got to be...the BEST collection of antique toys Period.

[@brianchisnell1548]

Prob. Not. Many of us collectors out there

[@Jason_The_Stooge]

[@normanhumphrey9695]

Wow, what a fabulous addition to a fantastic line up of Tonka trucks. I sure enjoyed the end where you showcased a number of the trucks you have done all together.

[@ChipChannelRestorations]

Thank you very much!

[@paktoysreview8377]

good job my dear friend

[@richyrich4672]

When I was a kid out playing in the dirt with my Tonka toys life was good.

[@deathvalleyalex9485]

That is one hell of a Tonka salvage yard . COOL !

[@robertvc4716]

WOW what an amazing job! Love the powder coat finish . I do auto body work and that’s the way to go over painting the trucks . Be proud of what you do!

[@linphillips8331]

It's pretty cool that Tonka still provides support for their vintage products.

[@brodyheaven7221]

My three year old LOVES these videos. She finds the very relaxing

[@richardgannon62]

Hi, so enjoy the videos, was missing the thumbs up on the 62 car carrier, enjoy comments, the sheep being expelled with air fron the truck, to see " i' m ok "is a chuckle and a smile , thanks

[@peterhearn3297]

You have a museum, another great job. I love watching a professional at work. WELL DONE!!!!

[@vol244]

Not much I can add to the comments already here! Stunning work as always, and a worthy addition to the earlier restorations. These ought to be displayed in a glass cabinet, or along a shelf. Truly museum worthy, and as usual, faultless workmanship.

[@chrissharp5073]

Great restoration Chip. At this rate and the outstanding quality of workmanship your collection will need to find a bigger home. My garage is free!!!!!!

[@NailimixamOdel]

Thank you for your videos, they have made me start recording after having the channel for a long time, congratulations on your work. You are a inspiration.

[@MisterMikeTexas]

OMG!! Any kid with with a collection like that back in the day would be the envy of the whole street! Great job on those restorations! 😊😊😊

[@huberfreddycondorilaura1997]

Hola

[@galaxie500xl7]

Here is a tip that will save you some money. As long as the wheels aren't too wobbly, re-use them. Use something fairly strong like Vantastic, clean them. Use a toothbrush. You want to pull as much of the dirt out as you can. It might even take the very top layer of hard rubber off. Which is a good thing. Once you get them clean and dry, spray them with black vinyl dye. It will bring the color back to the old rubber. After they dry, spray them with either mat clear or satin clear. That way they will have a shine. But not too shiny. When you put new whitewalls on and new caps, nobody will notice it. It will blend right in. Those wheels cost a lot. This will save you some money. If you have one that is wobbly but the tread is still good, this works on some, but not all. Use a small piece of shrink tubing right where the wheel rides. You might have to make the hole in the wheel slightly larger by drilling them out. But, if you drill it right the shrink tube will take up the slack and tighten up the tire on the axle. Use black shrink tubing. With the wheel on it, nobody will ever see it or realize it's there.

[@vernabink2865]

Oh, Chip, what a beautiful restoration. The color is perfect. I do so enjoy your work. Thank you.

[@Adriansmith805]

As always beautiful restoration looks fantastic well done 👍.

[@davehillard1591]

Sandblasting is SO satisfying!!! Especially that rusted out bottom deck!😄😍

[@billiewylie7212]

i really love your vids...they remind me growing up with all my tonka vehicles.

woah … exceptional results … looks brand-new … like the color choice of the paint … nice finish.

[@keithmiller3120]

Wow really nice Collection of restored Tonkas ....keep up the nice work

[@thisolesignguy2733]

Nothing beats the blue dump truck (always gonna be my favorite!) but definitely top 5! Nice job!

[@victortinajero5543]

I had that blue dump truck as well… got it when I was 4 in ‘69. My favorite as well!

[@icerazar713]

I had one of these when I was little. It was my favorite. My mother always get a laugh because later on in my life I ended up transporting cars for a living. Very nice work. 👍

[@michaelhenry3466]

Very Good work on these Classic Toys, at bringing them back to life, Oh & from the background noise you must live on a busy street, lol. But All & all, Good work on The classic toy restoration

[@TBird89]

Mate no bullshit… your restorations are stunning 👌🏻👊🏻

[@napkinchip8070]

So relaxing to watch. You are marvelous at what youdo.

[@American_Jeeper]

I like the cream color a lot better than the Tonka Yellow, it's much more suitable for the car carrier. Very nice outcome!

[@greggalvan1378]

I just happen to have that truck in the same rusted condition, I like the patina look, it really sets the guest room

[@jcamisa50]

Another masterpiece. Love your collection. Please do more. Thank you

[@whofandb]

I loved the restored cars on the car carrier! Wonderful work!

Another top notch restoration, Chip. I did like the two old toys on top. They look really good and ready for transport to the car show of 2020. You make my day off nicer with these videos. Keep up the greatness!

[@DarkLordHavoc]

I I stumbled onto your channel via Facebook, and I’m in love. It’s so relaxing, and you are so good at it! I love the sandblasting. Giving new life to toys - you rock!

[@bobcatsmith246]

I can't remember if Tonka made it or not, but I can remember my little brother had a red tanker truck. It had steering, if you tilted the cab right the front wheels turned right and the same for turning left. It was about the size of the car Carrier you just done. It didn't have a trailer it was one piece. I love your collection. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

[@harleyguyinmilw]

Great job Chip. I must say I really love your “scrapyard” Cute

[@ursus353]

I had a transport exactly like that; it came with two Corvettes, a red one, and a yellow one... Oh, and it had a black ramp so the cars could drive up on the transport...

[@DaveStarr4]

I did too I miss mine

[@paulp1166]

i thought it was three of those plastic cars, one may have been a truck i thought. I still have the hauler minus the cars and the ramp.

@@paulp1166 Hello Paul, I am French, the translator changes the meaning of the sentences a bit. I wanted to say: It would be nice with sheet metal cars for presentation (it doesn't matter if it's original, I think it would be cooler than with plastic cars)
