I am a retired EMT and I absolutely loved this restore. It took me a minute to figure out the CD on the doors. That is definitely something that you do not see anymore. In the basement of our ambulance barn we had 6 30 gallon drums of water that was made in the 1960s and would not expire until 2020. I tried to aquire one of them but I did not have the opportunity to remove one. Thank you for celebrating EMS with the 4th of July. EMTs are certainly forgotten at times - if you see one thank them. Just remember that the things they do come back in their dreams, and they see people on the worst day of their Ives.
@@Kasey1776 The logo was often put on vehicles that were to be used as part of Civil Defense efforts. Ambulances, mail vehicles, even utility trucks would get the marking. In some places you'd actually have rescue squads with an affiliation to the local Civil Defense organization and they'd be marked something like this truck.
Years ago, I was a security guard and in the basement of the mall I was a guard that they had a old civil defense shelter. And there they had the 50 barrel drums for the water that you mentioned plus they had pallets of the survival rations which were basically crackers you would find in an MRE
Marvelous work on this rusty public servant! Tales of a bygone era! Better PSA on the perils of firecrackers, the rescue put the sheep back into shape. It's a shame yo
Brilliant restoration there. A very handsome vehicle - I love all of Tonka's classic trucks - not easy to get in the UK - I never knew one other kid who had one in the mid 1960's. I had one of the basic pick up trucks, which was given to me by an uncle who was in the Merchant Navy, and that was played with to it's death (possibly by fireworks) many years later. I do like the Civil Defence markings on this. The year after it's release, the cold war got considerably warmer. Thank you for sharing. Nice one. 👍👍👍
For your cracking paint issue, the paint is needing to be incredibly flexible, so I would look into two details: surface prep/paint adhesion and paint compound. For the first one, maybe an adhesion promoter or an etching primer would make the powder coat fuse with the metal better. And for the second, the powder coat in that area seems quite thick. I know nothing about powder coating, but maybe see if there are other kinds of powder that allow some flexibility. Hope this helps! Amazing restoration!
Poor Jack! Just minding his own business, chillin’ in the cab, and then ruthlessly poked in the eye and spun out! You be nice to him! He’s ... special!
I love your channel. Lil kitty is now…bigger kitty lol. Beautiful restoration as usual. Bye bye lil sheep. Happy 4th of July America. I still love ya! 🇺🇸👍🏼✌️❤️
My real name is Michael McCluskey. We have two cats and one looks like yours. I like watching people restore things. I just subscribed to your channel and hit the 'All' bell.
To prevent the powder coat from cracking, you could try heating it before bending the tabs with a heat gun or similar. might be enough to soften it first. Love your videos, keep up the good work.
Ya startled me a bit, I didn't think that the firework next to the sheep was real until you lit it, good thing junkyard sheep are tough. Have a Happy 4th of July everyone.
Please don’t deprive me of the sand blasting process!! My favorite part. I’d love you to consider doing a compilation video of all sandblasting! Please!
There is a magical quality about all Tonka Toys from the way they are constructed to there superb play value for younger folk and later for older folk to refurbish! Job well done Chip
It's good that you were more specific at that time; about what year this iron/tin toy ambulance, was first created. Not just the company that owned it. I'm so glad you brought it back to life.☺😊😌
Never worked with powder coat before so I don't know what the physical qualities are like with what you're using. Try a range of low heats progressively getting hotter to see if the paint can regain some flexibility when bent. Maybe also try pressing the tabs into place with smooth pressure after heating instead of tapping into place which gives fluctuations in downwards force and not consistent. Love this channel, it's so very relaxing to watch the silence at work!
You had me worried when you removed the sheet metal screw from the siren and put it in the rust remover, but you came through at the end and properly installed a machine screw. Gave me flash backs when I owned apartment buildings or worked in maintenance, lol.
Congratulattions. And if your cat is agree every thing it is all right. Never stops dreamer and playing.

I agree. Being a warning siren enthusiast it’s really crazy to see a CD logo on something else that’s not a siren.

Power coat the tabs bent than carefully straighten just enough to fit the slots, then rebend. Should held with the cranking. Keep up the good work 👏
KUDOS AS ALWAYS. BEAUTIFUL RESULT!
Amazing !!! Once again... great job 🙌🙌🙌 Poor sheep 🥲😄

I wish that mountain of rusty goodness never ends!
Great choice of replacing the 1/4" screw with a stainless steel one. No more rust issue!

I own the same toy I got as a child. It's in very good condition, as I took care of my toys. Also, my ladder is painted white.
Me encantó!!! Ese chip está muerto! 😂😂😂
very beautiful !
The various ways you remove the sheep from the trucks always amuses me.
Exellent Restoration 👌
Belíssima restauração. 🚑

Magnificent work. Greetings from México 🇲🇽
Beautiful! I gave mine, a condition 9, to my Grandson. They have nothing today that compares to our childhood. Cheers
Sandblasting is so satisfying 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Nice!
Your great BTW 🤭
Well, that's a different way of removing a sheep! Poor 4th of July sheep had a firecrackin' good time!
I live these videos. It's cute the way the tow truck comes in to get them. Neat stuff and great results.
I remember receiving so many of these Tonka Toys for my birthday and Christmas. I absolutely love watching you totally restore them.
Thank you.

Dil Garden Garden Ho Gaya👌👍🙏
Hello,
Maybe you can heat the area up a little with the heat gun first. Love the video's keep up the good work and god bless and stay safe.
