This toy is almost 90 years old and looks as if it had been buried in someone"s garage for many years. You have done a brilliant job to restore the vehicle to such a high standard. Congratulations! I Take My Hat Off to You - and a Thumbs Up from me!

[@recollectable4258]

Thanks for thumb up and kind words Yes it was neglected old thing but was happy how it turned out.

Thanks Rohit

[@chubbyschoices9701]

The rattle can finish, which I am NOT a fan of for these projects came out fantastic! Interesting model I've never seen before, great video man! Sign me up

[@recollectable4258]

Thanks for the sign up, unfortunately I only have a small workshop wouldn’t have room for powder coat set up as much as I would like one, maybe need to extend the workshop, but for now it’ll have to be the rattle can. Cheers

Great job I love old trucks

[@recollectable4258]

Thanks

[@tjkoker]

Great video. My only suggestion would be to Armorall™ the tires. Cheers!

[@recollectable4258]

Thank you, and thanks for the tip👍 It would have looked well with polished tyres.

[@diyfireking]

Great work dude.

[@recollectable4258]

Hey Thanks a lot, comment appreciated Cheers

[@karlkovach8647]

Very nice restoration but, I cannot believe that some of those tabs did not break on you. they looked so fragile. Great job!!!!!

[@recollectable4258]

Thanks, Think I was lucky with the tabs, But after sandblasting the metal was quite solid but pitted, these old toys were made with quite a thick gauge metal.

[@carrestore]

beautiful Restoration

Very good job!

[@recollectable4258]

Thanks

Your Bedford was made around 1938/9. This was the year that those wheels and tyres came out. There was only 100 sets made of 3” and 31/2 as on your tow truck. You are lucky in that they are in excellent condition normally the wheels rot out. I have a 1938/9 Bedford Tipper truck with the same wheels and tyres. Normally they are 2 discs with a thin rubber between them that were still used until 1957. They were red but if you was lucky you could get pale blue which were very rare.

[@recollectable4258]

Thanks for the comment . Always appreciate a bit more information on any projects, with regards to the wheels they were in great condition after cleaning. Cheers Rich

[@recollectable4258]

Many Thanks

[@brentjackson7637]

It's a nice restoration, but the running boards/fenders would have been better in black.

[@recollectable4258]

Thanks, I wanted to keep the restoration to the original paint job, However the cog and winding shaft were also painted red on the originals but I decided against this as I think they looked better silver.

[@terrifisher7579]

Im no expert but maybe a exhaust fan might work to pull the dust into a container to dispose of later...❓

[@recollectable4258]

Thanks you’re right At the time of the video it was a closed cabinet . have since modified it with an external dust extractor Cheers 👍

[@PURGATONYT]

Is there any Tonka model with some kind of a drive unit?

[@recollectable4258]

Sure they did a moon buggy and some other smaller vehicles with friction drive unit in the 1970s, these were made in Japan and had a different look to the Tonka toys we all know, they were also smaller .

[@johnallright6847]

Anybody know a good restorer in Lancashire, have the same truck with a flat bed/ pickup ? Its all there and tyres are good but like this one on the video needs full pait job???

[@recollectable4258]

Good luck with your search
