O my goodness I had this as a child forgot all about it. Thanks for the memories.

Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@endall6783]

I thought it would have been rusted much much worst than what it was. I kind of thought parts truck but I forgot who I was watching for a couple 3 mins. Then when I realized who I was watching I knew it would turn out looking better than new and it did great job SIR.

[@mdcollins3806]

Awesome build....I had one of those as a kid...They came with a plastic lift jack and a spare tire so you could change a flat if needed while out on the trails...lol....Watching this video and all the other of the Tonka restorations brings back some really great child hood memories! Keep up the excellent work and God Bless!

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Exactly!!!

[@firstenforemost]

I recommend for the raised tire lettering, use a stiff surface like cardboard and less paint sprayed down. Also, the yellowing on the white seat plastic can be appreciably reduced with a hydrogen peroxide solution and UV light exposure.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thanks for watching

[@rome79735]

This looks like my cousin's work destroying a toy. Hell, they're so destructive, they can break an anvil with a rubber hammer.

[@Lambmit]

What do you do with all the toys you restore? The finished product is unbelievable.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Some I sell, Some I keep or give to my kids. Just depends.

[@Lambmit]

@@TRGRESTORATIONS thank you, I enjoy watching your video.

[@felipecardoza9967]

Clever how two additional pieces of metal turn a stock height truck into a monster truck

[@larrynagy3853]

Hi I love that truck where did you get the decals from thanks for your time

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

OK Brickworks. He runs an eBay shop, sells a lot of hard to finds decals

[@e-mananimates2274]

When you placed the parts in the Out-Gassing chamber at round 7:40, they sounded like a wind chime!

[@robewalk2]

Great restoration Tim, this one presented a number of problems I'm sure. Love the color you chose, the original orange didn't do it for me. Forgive me if I asked this before, but how long must the powder coated pieces remain in the oven and is there a cure time once they're removed from the oven before you can reassemble the pieces? You and yours stay healthy and safe and cheers from this old retired coot living in Tennessee.💖 👍 🍻 ✌ 👀

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

It varies depending on the company, color, etc.. but generally it's 400-F for 15 minutes. Each color will come with it's specifics listed

[@mauriciocabrerazenteno-he2wt]

Me gusta esa camioneta 🛻🛻

[@rederickrederick1513]

you have a tool I've never seen, looks like a C clamp, what's it called and where could I get one, and YAAAAAY !

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

www.pintonka.mountainminded.net/ he sells out quick though, so better jump on it

[@northfieldguitars7743]

Please could you tell me where you got the replacement windshield?

[@utinam4041]

You forgot the hound dawg.

[@sundown...7718]

Looks Amazing !! How much for a set of decals ?

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

I had to pay the artist to reproduce them, so I paid around $50. Now that he has them saved as a reference file, I'm not sure how much he'd charge to reprint. "OK Brickworks" check out his ebay store

Yes, he showed everything that needed to be shown within a short time-span. Indeed shown high professionalism in editing and restoring the Tonka Toy as well.

I don't think many people would look at what you started with and think that it was restorable. Wow!

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@superboats2]

Well, some people like to challenge themselves with projects that would look impossible. I think that it's the ultimate challenge to restore something that was destroyed in a fire. This was impressively done.

[@MFP24]

I usually love sandblasting but the gloves with the wart-like bumps creeped me out.

[@Bannimann2]

Great resto, and you should name this one "The Phoenix" 🔥🔥🔥

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@markschwegler1100]

Coolest tonka ever!!! I had the same size truck but it was just blue with no cool accessories like this one. From the ashes rose a phoenix!

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@D25864]

Me too I think it was a bigfoot version

[@dustinsubert476]

I loved seeing that. I received that same truck for Christmas in 1979 or maybe 80. I was wondering if the motorcycle was going to appear

[@scottgm321]

Very cool. I feel like a little kid “I want that!”. My grandkids would get upset that I wouldn’t share. Lol. The kids cheering still makes me smile and laugh after all this time and Bob Ross is brilliant.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@ronaldsteele6151]

Little did that truck know of the amount of TLC it was about to get when you came along and rescued it. Amazing job

Great job on this truck, it would be really cool if you were able to give it to the kid that lost it in the fire.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

It would be cool to know the backstory for sure!

[@vinceianni4026]

Hello TRG beautiful restoration good job well done my friend

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thank you 👍

[@rogerward3185]

You missed decals or something for the lights on the roof spoiler! That is the only criticism I can find! Great work and a thumbs up.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Ok thanks!

[@ELCADAROSA]

Yep, was going to mention the same thing.

[@alfredhughes8765]

Man, all I can say is that you do amazing work with what others would throw away. I would really like to do what you do. Keep up the Great Work.

Nice work! But the screw on the top roof makes me sad :/

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Very nice!!! It looks like a brand new truck.Great Job in saving something most people would have thrown in the trash.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

[@scottmckinley74]

I still have this truck!! Now I want to restore it lol..only thing I need is a new windshield and tailgate, where can I find the windshield? Or the partnumber for it? Thank you for the amazing video!

[@kentrobinson1723]

I absolutely love watching these restorations.. I have the same Rally Truck. Original color was a metallic Copper color. I got a new windshield from Gasoline Alley. I really want to put it back to Original condition. Do you know where can I get the roof ramp/spoiler? And how can I get the custom decals for this truck? Keep up the amazing work!🏆👍

[@rob6876]

Super cool resto!!! I still have a truck similar to this one, although mine is just an ordinary truck. It was red at one time, but I taped off the decal and painted it black. I also have a van that I taped off and painted black. That was originally a sandy brown color. One of these days, I want to return them to their original color.

[@jeremyfrix522]

That was awesome work !

[@martinvs6415]

A total BAD ASS restoration. The only way you would ever tell it was burned is if you watch this video. Who would have thought when we were wrecking our Tonka toys way back when, that a good craftsman would buy them and make them like new again. Thoroughly enjoy watching these pieces come back to life. Thanks for sharing.

[@markc.7984]

Wish you would've painted it the original color. I'd call this "salvage and update" vs. "restore" which implies returning it to original condition. It does look great, though.

[@davidmnelson74]

Man this might be your best restoration yet. Awesome job!
