@@TRGRESTORATIONS That green looks amazing. What was the name of that color? I mostly use the Eastman stuff, but pretty much any powder has worked for me in the past. Thanks! Love the videos!
@@geoffcowan2384 Sometimes it's called "Grass Green" sometimes it's called "Spring Green" and sometimes it's "Lime Green" or "Bright Green".
Moon Bear I wanted to know the particular name of the color of powder he used. I know the common names of the general color, but manufacturers usually name their shades. I was interested in buying some, so I was curious about the exact name.
@@geoffcowan2384 Ah, I see, that I wouldn't know. Sorry
When things were built to last. I want a sand blaster now btw
I could feel the smile on that little truck getting restored,beautifully done.
Thanks 👍
Brings a tear to my eye seeing these old toys restored. Shame they don't make toys like this anymore.
Astonishing. I couldn’t believe how well it finished. Like brand new.
Thanks for watching!
Better than new
A lot of people claim their project is amazing but in this case I think you’re right. This could go viral, at least it deserves to. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺
Thanks! Fingers crossed!
Oh, it's going viral baby.....already up to 500k views!!! and 20,000 of those views are me! 05/06/2020
This was SO enjoyable to watch...esp the sand blasting
Parmesana
Agreed!
Had this exact color scheme when I was younger. Seeing this brought back some nice memories. Thank you for doing this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I can watch rusty metal getting sandblasted for hours. The transformation is delightful.
Me too, it is so satisfying to watch the rust disappear and bright metal appear. How about a compilation video of just sandblasting.
@@peterengland6153 Cool. I'm on board.
11:47 Block print method for the tire lettering! PURE GENIUS!!!
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thanks for keeping the videos flowing through tough times..
My pleasure!
I had that exact model as a kid. Thank you for reviving long lost neurons
What color(s) was yours?
I can’t Romberg if it was the same color or light blue and whit
This is absolutely the best restoration that I've never seen. GOOOOOD WORK!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
Always were my favorite tonka wheels! I think the cheer for the sand blaster is one of my favorite things about your vids. Another ace job, good stuff
Glad you like them!
Admittedly, I fast forward through parts of these videos. Not the sand blasting part. Something about cleanly removing years of rust is strangely satisfying.

Like how you touch up the screws when putting the project back together.
Thanks! Some times the pop-rivets can chip the paint a little
Could powder coat them beforehand as well..
Beautiful work, what baffles me is how he puts everything back together 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you very much!
WOW!!! Love the way you got the wheels, and seat so clean. Love everything about it. Keep on keeping on.
Thanks so much!
Very nice work on the highway snowplow truck but, it's the wrong color Sir. You should've painted it Okie Orange (look it up, it's an actual color) and traditional for County or State highway trucks. Again though, very nicely done.
My uncle has a sand blaster and I’ve been begging him to let me try it.
Got this truck for my seventh bday! I laughed at the kids yay...as that is my response to the hypnotic effect of blasting anything!
This just might be the most satisfying thing I've seen in my life
Thanks for watching!!
An OUTSTANDING restoration job!!.. Looks better than it did when it left the Tonka Factory!!.. Keep up the great work Bud!!
Thanks! Will do!
When your tonka becomes a John Deer
My neighbour had one when I was a kid. Brings it all back. Thanks for posting.
This channel just showed up in my recommendations, and I'm really glad it did! I love these channels that restore rusty, old toys and make them better than new. And you're restoring my favourite Tonka truck of all time, too, the garbage truck, so that's awesome. Still, for me, the holy grail of restorations would be a vintage prewar tinplate Lionel or American Flyer or Marx train. Or any prewar tinplate electric train. Never seen one done before, but I'd love to see it happen eventually.
Welcome aboard!
@@TRGRESTORATIONS thanks, I'm happy to be here!
"who ever did this was strong, That's 340 pounds of Tonka tough steel!" Love the job done here! Amazing
I couldn’t believe how well that turned out. Thank you for saving that Tonka Truck and for posting.
Our pleasure!
I only watch to hear the kids cheering when the blasting cabinet makes an appearance 😂 Not really - another super restoration, lovely work 👍😊
😁
Awesome job!... takes me back to being a kid in the early 70s
Were the original Tonka’s powder coated? I understand it’s a tough surface coating that is perfect for these models. I was just wondering…
Superb restoration, another time you didn’t let us down!
No they were aerosol painted.
I really do say "Yaaay" whenever I see rusted metal, because that equals Sandblasting!!
I still have a Tonka dump truck that my mom brought me back in the early seventies. It's not rusted like this truck but the grill is beat up a little from my imaginative childhood. It is my oldest possession. Tonka really did build tough trucks. Don't laugh but I always called my truck "Big Trucky". Shoutout to Tonka.
There are very few things as satisfying as watching something old and rusty go under the media blaster.
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
When the kids start cheering, it's GO TIME.
yeah buddy!
I got one of those for either Christmas or my birthday .
And what was the first thing I did .
Went around the house emptying all the ashtrays .
This was also the smallest TONKA in my collection .
hahaha sounds like a good use for it
Emptying the ashtrays.....yuk!!
White and green paint colors combine beautifully. perfect restoration . Good work my friend :))
Thank you so much 😀
oh superb mate had one of these as a young lad and never stopped playing with it,great job on bringing it back to life
Thanks!
"Tonka Toys for real tough boys"
Amazing restoration... I gotta say tho, it always drives me insane when the yellowing in the plastic windows cant be removed completely.
I love watching stuff like this. Most people don’t realize how much production actually goes into the restoration and the video end product. Thank you for doing this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love it! Finally someone who uses a Sand Blasting cabinet!
*That Color is far out, man ✌️😌*
Had be to be from the 70s
Excellent restoration!
And, it's cool when a sandblaster looks like it's spray painting gray.
*Welcome to the Garb-Age! 😷👍*
It looked like it may've had a couple of garbage cans in the back?
I can't believe how clear you were able to get that window! I thought it was too far gone. Fantastic job!
Thank you very much!
A very nice restore. A toy is never truly happy until it has been played with by a child.
Incredible work, sir! You took a lump of rust and made it look literally brand new! By the by, how long did this restoration take?
About 12 hours total
The dedication!
God has a special place for people like you, who have the patience and the talent to do projects like this and bring these types of items back to their original beauty and functionality. It's just a shame that so many things now-a-days are built for throw away rather than refurbish.
Nice job and nice video.
I don't know why, but the children's voices cheering before you start sandblasting makes me chuckle every time 😅
lol Yes!!
WOW, You literally saved that garbage truck from the garbage... OUTSTANDING !!
I was today years old when I learned that Tonka toys came in a color besides yellow...
lol
"Remarkable!" - Remarkable / Our Gang (Little Rascals)
Re mark a bow
lol Thanks for watching!
Had such a garbage truck when I was a little boy, played a lot with all kind of Tonka trucks those days. And, instantly remembering that typical '70s green... Very nice job!
Thanks for sharing, and Thanks for watching!
Being a sand blaster has to be the best job on the planet.
Phenomenal work. Also, you don't have to use click bait phrases to garner views. Your work does the trick nicely. Artist at work.
Thanks! RUclips can be fickle some times, occasionally it'll pay to try different things
PERFECT RESTORATION!!! beautiful job on the truck.
Thank you very much!
From a rust bucket to SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO KOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLL.
Unbelievable work. Mike Espo...
Thanks for watching!
Remember getting this for Xmas in the 70s.
When I first started watching these videos, I didn't know that was a sand blaster. I thought it was spray paint.
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Yess same I'm like still confused when it's that part of the restoration
This makes me happy, I had one as a kid. Some jerk stole it so I only had it for about a week after my 5th birthday. Would have been 45 years ago on May 28 that I got this.
Byron Thomas awww that’s so sad ;c
Love the restoration!
My favorite part was silencing the drill.. Lol
Keep up the great work sir!!
Thanks, will do!
I love the cheering right before the sandblasting lol that's just awesome 😄😁
😁
When toys were toys.
I've got this up in the loft with my other Tonka's.
I'm 50 this yr!
Does anyone else (at least internally) scream "yay!!!!" along with the children for the sandblasting time? 😂
lol I hope so!
I love watching the sandblasting! I could watch that all day! It’s amazing how new the metal looks under all that paint and surface rust. How long does it take from start to finish in real time? Awesome 👏!
Thanks 👍
Robert Moore and to think, the rust is maybe only like 1/64th of an inch thick. 99% of the metal is good underneath
This is relaxing to watch plus has some great hints / hacks, thank you.
Made back when toys could be used to take-out neighborhood bullies
Think of the gash you could give them with the edge of the truck lol
Am I the only one who feels so uncomfortable hearing the noise of rusty metal grinding?
No I used that mute feature. I saw it coming and tried to avoid it but was about 2 seconds too slow
I felt that sound in my fingers. 😫
Ficou maravilhoso. Belíssimo trabalho!! Você é muito talentoso. Parabéns!
Thanks for watching!
3:52 ahh the sounds of sand blasting at 9am est [when I cant sleep oddly... relaxing]
8:46 (только русские поймут, даже не потому что язык) Перекись автомобиля
I like watching how you go through the process of making it new again.
Love the green color, beautiful restoration job.
Thank you very much!
Ithink there is more metal content in a Tonka than an average 2020 automobile these days.
Beautiful restore, as always, 💚the color💚!! Also: Thank you for using the Dremel Versa. I bought one because I saw you use it and man, that thing is a---mazing! I love it!
Awesome! Thank you!
Love coming home and seeing a post from TRG!
lol glad to help!
Anyone else flabbergasted at how ingenious the re-lettering on the tires was? 😳 Amazing transformation!
lol thanks!
OXI Clean gets the tough stains out! 😂
lol thanks for watching
I had that EXACT same Tonka truck when I was a kid. Thanks for bringing back the memories!
Thanks for watching!
I didn't realize that Tonka made a Garbage Truck. Another fine restoration.☺
Thanks!
Hey,they finally found my old Tonka truck.Since you did such a great job with it, it's yours to give to a deserving kid!
Thanks again!
@@TRGRESTORATIONS I had fun with my Tonka collection 1964-1972.Every kid needs well made real life toys that were absolutely REAL FUN to play with.When my parents heard funny,weird sounds like vroom,vroom, metal to metal, machine sounds coming from the playroom they knew we were having more than fun,and where we were, what we were doing,and NOTgetting into trouble.Watching Tonka restorations like yours show how talented you are and you care,and how much you remember your old toys.Thank you,sir,for helping this60 year old man rememver how it was to be a kid.😌😁👏
Nice my dad used to play with these when he was young and I remember having the same one as this but in red when I was young.
Thanks for watching!
I can't believe it was looking better before! That rust was outstanding, YOU MONSTER!
🙄🙄🙄
The best Tonka restoration i have seen so far, excellent job !
Wow, thanks!
If only I have patience and skill. Can't believe it's the same truck. 😂👍
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ALL OF THE SANDBLASTING!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
That retrobrite really does the trick.
This is my generation of Tonka. I still have four pieces of this cab-over design. Luckily mine are in slightly better shape - hard use, but no rust. I cant express enough how much these toys meant to me. They framed my creativity. Great stuff. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing! Glad you enjoyed!
My 9yr old actually sat and watched the whole video with me. Well done, sir.
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Two words, "Outstanding Work".
LOVED THE COLOR SWEET this vid was awesome turned out great especially liked the color
Thank you so much!!
Dang now I want a sand blaster.
Edit and a powder coating setup.
lol they do not come cheap unfortunately
Você é uma inspiração meu amigo ✨ 💂Deus abençoe sempre
Great job, you save the truck from the trash pile
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely love these garbage trucks. Fantastic job.
Thanks!
Who thought the cute little truck like that would come in so many different parts I love the sandblasting I think that that is my favorite time of the restoration but I also like the beginning to see what you're going to restore I like the sandblasting and I love the ending I just can't decide what I like the most thanks for posting
lol well I'm glad you like!
Like it just rolled off the assembly line 👍🏽💙
Thanks!
⬆️⬆️⬆️
Tu trabajo es increíble, que paciencia y amor por lo que haces! Saludos genio
Great restoration, the kids cheering the sandblaster reminded me of something on Seseme St..
Great job. One more piece of history saved from the junk pile.
Retro future looking garbage truck, that thing looks cool as heck. Good job!
Thanks!
Not sure how I was lead to this video from RUclips but I loved every minute of it. Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
