1963 Tonka Ramp Hoist Flat Bed Tow Truck Restoration Ramphoist

I purchased this 1963 Tonka Ramphoist Flat Bed Tow Truck off eBay December of 2020. This one was missing it's gear rack, the metal bar the rack attaches to, as well as the back ramp. Outside of the rust and pitting that was on the toy, it was overall in great shape. The winch plastic was broken and I purchased a used one which I then Retro bighted to remove the yellowing. I'm still learning on making rubber and epoxy poured parts but am getting better with each project. This is the first colored epoxy plastic part I've made which it ended up taking an extended period of time to dry to the full cure, I believe it was due to my mixture of the coloring dyes. Overall I was extremely happy to add this roll off tow truck into my collection and will be sure to use it as it was intended, bringing in broken down trucks to get fixed up. Thank you for watching!

I watched your paint dry today.... and it was 100 times more enjoyable than watching the news.

WOW, now I want to see the Jeep refinished!!

The before / after is really impressive and make your own spare parts yourself, it must be so satisfying

Class, pay attention. Over the next 54 minutes Dr. Chip will be instructing us on the restoration of a 60 year old toy, and this will include replication of missing parts. Seriously, I was in the presence of a master craftsman today. Impressive doesn't cover it.

that's some sharp looking white walls!!!

[@deborahshinsky5360]

I am amazed at the confidence and precision with which you add the decals. I can't even put a stamp on an envelope and have it be straight. The truck looks amazing!! Love the end of this one, hurray for sheep and kitty!

What is great about all the molds that you make is that they can become handy in future restaurations. As always, thanks for another fascinating dominical offering. Best toy restauration channel by far.

[@Ripplesinthewaters]

I have a video idea: how about a tour around your shop with brief descriptions of your tool and how you use them? I’d also like to know how you learned all your techniques. These videos are so fun and interesting!

If it can pass the cats' inspection, then It's good to go. Great job.

Been waiting for this one ever since I spotted it in your pile! Defiantly one of my favorite trucks that Tonka ever made.

[@DiecastResurrection]

That rivet press was cool!

No other restorer matches your skills and knowledge; none measures up to the quality of your restorations. Love watching you from the beginning to the final 'inspection'.

I am beyond impressed with this one. I have seen a number of your restorations and thought the most impressive was the crumpled Jeep. Making your own part and whitewalls--that one took it over the edge. Your skills are impressive!!

Hello Chip Every time you "fly over" your Tonkas, with the camera, I say to myself: I watched this one, this one, this one.... 😄. I love your channel. I love to see sand blasting, paintwork and reassembly of the cars - (and you creating new rubber parts is very cool). Your cat is so cute. Greetings from Brazil.

I love to watch the restoration projects but the best ones are the wreckers. I owned a wrecker service a few years ago and it consisted of a UD roll back. You do a wonderful job with your restorations

It looks Factory Fresh! Thanks for posting.

[@leiatyndall8648]

I've often wonder if they're honestly better (more durable) than "Factory Fresh," esp the '30s-'50s ones, since I understand powder coating came after some of these toys. Far superior to spray paint restorations, in my opinion. Once you watch powdercoat (go shiny), spray paint seems too weak & cheap.

[@markmadison1135]

A deceptively complicated model. I always enjoy your videos.

[@notpoliticallycorrect1303]

There's always something satisfying about blasting stuff,until it falls apart in your hand😁. I remember my first go at about 12-13 years old, my dad asked me to clean up a big old compressor flywheel. My first endeavour was to blast the F word into the crud and rust,After cleaning the whole thing I turned to my dad who had obviously been watching over my shoulder at one point without me realising,and he said " I hoped you would write your name,I expected you to write a swear word,I suppose I should be grateful in the fact that that wasn't the word I was expecting!" Anyway,It's great to see someone putting attention into finish quality,so much of what you see is let down by poor finishing or preparation.

[@gearjammer7087]

I’ll bet you have a massive mold collection. 👍

[@anthonyhendricks7377]

I think after seeing you pour plastic parts I'd have to make molds of the parts I have to buy regularly. The white inserts for the tires especially. Make a four piece mold for those. Really enjoyed the restoration on this truck. Keep up the great work 👍.

[@johnmay371]

Not to mention you videos are Very inspiring!

[@jiggity76]

That is probably one of the coolest Tonka models I've seen! Love it and love your channel!
