Hey! I bought this truck off of Facebook Marketplace for $20. Do you think it was worth it? I made it a bit custom as you can see with the decals as it is a gift for someone. Thanks so much for watching and I hope you all have a great day! Blessings, Kev
Collectors want original paint. If you restore to original colors that is pretty good too. Customized might not be great. If you tried it on eBay, you might get close to $200 for it. Original paint in decent shape gets you maybe $300. So from an economic view, you did well. As a gift it can't be priced. It could be priceless to the gift receiver.
From someone who's been in and around concrete design and construction some 45 years ..... THANK YOU for correctly calling this a "concrete truck" and not a "cement truck"!! btw - I enjoyed your video; great restoration project and finish. 👍👍👍👍👍
Indeed it is! I'm not ashamed to admit that I got misty eyed. I hope my former sandbox toys found their way(s) to similar caring hands. I had to wash and put mine away after every play session. My dad sold them carelessly to a toy dealer. 💔😭 Some were gifts from a family friend's son after he outgrew them. They survived a direct tornado hit! Yeah for Tonkas!!!! I still have my bulldozer but lost my scraper. Also lost was a Tonka Jeep camper. I didn't figure that I'd find one on eBay. I found two and got them! ❤❤
I still have that exact toy cement truck from when it was new and I was four years old, got it for Christmas. There was a matching tow truck that pulled a plastic car
Excellent! I liked the filter idea you had for containing the powder coating dust, I might have to do something similar. I already have a small oven waiting in my attic for the day I get the rest of the setup complete. Well done.
Awesome! And yes it does help. I frequently clean the filter. I’d like to add a second filter and fan eventually. Good luck on your set up and have a great weekend!
Wasn't sure I'd watch the entire video, but I did, and I'm glad! I worry that if I undertook a project like that, I'd have three parts leftover with no idea where they went. Obviously not your first rodeo. Nicely done, and well edited! Sure does help to have the right tools, eh?!? I hope the lucky recipient is shown the video so he or she will appreciate how much work went into the restoration. John 3:16! God bless!
@@biglongcadillac it’s from the book of John and is a Bible reference. Chapter 3 vs 16. The guy has named his restoration channel that links not only his physical job but also his faith, the RUclipsr restores old “junk” and the Bible verse refers to how we can be restored spiritually. Very clever :)
Do you sell any of your restorations.....brings back childhood memories , I had a steam shovel that you wound up the string and the shovel would open and close...FANTASTIC work my friend
I also enjoy restoring old toys such as trucks, cars, motorcycles, I put a lot of passion into it, I have my own little space where I refurbish everything I buy at the second-hand markets.. just today I bought several toy cars, trucks and tractors.. than before or then I'll refurbish it... some of these have a lot of rust, let's hope for the best Meanwhile, I congratulate you on the excellent RUclips channel, beautiful restorations, keep it up
Beautiful work! Great job on the mechanical parts & repairs, well done. I must be honest though, I haven't seen very many baby blue concrete mixer trucks rolling around! Overall, very good job! Very nice truck!
Nicely done. I would've loved to seen if you could've replicated the original color on this beauty. Looked like a copper color. And that cement truck sits rather low. Looks like a lowrider custom lol
Lovely work! I honestly expected to see a scale size truck lift or jack with stands. Regardless, it appears you did not miss any detail and you worked around minor snags.

It was totally worth it, you brought an old vintage toy back to life. You deserve a round of applause 👏👏👏👏👏
Great job! It was definitely worth then money!

¡Me encantan tus restauraciones!
The mouse!!!! Not only are you a master at restoration, your videos are never boring 👍🏾
So therapeutic watching this restoration unfold, brilliant, thank you.
This is a fabulous restoration.

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!
@@billdryden6275 As a retired concrete contractor, I concur; concrete, not cement. Generally, this is a “Ready Mix Concrete” truck.
As a former “40 year” concrete contractor, I approve this restoration. 👍🏻
Wow, thanks! Have a great weekend!
40 years wasted 🎉
This is a love letter to someone’s childhood. Magnificent restoration. ❤
Indeed it is!

Who is John and what does he have to do with rusty toys?

@rach8693 which Bible exactly? There are many. The title for hisvideo doesn't mention anything about religion. Perhaps he should re-name his work.
@@biglongcadillac you have problems… I can’t talk to unreasonable people sorry. I pray you find ultimate peace one day.
absolutely stunning
Thank you so much!
Wow, outstanding restore!
Thank you very much!
Real clean good job

WOW ITS JUST AWESOME WORK GOOD JOB
Thank you! I appreciate it!
One of our dads or granddad could have played with this way back when..
You never know! 🙂
Nicely done. I would've loved to seen if you could've replicated the original color on this beauty. Looked like a copper color. And that cement truck sits rather low. Looks like a lowrider custom lol
Thanks much! It needs a lift kit! :)
Lovely work! I honestly expected to see a scale size truck lift or jack with stands. Regardless, it appears you did not miss any detail and you worked around minor snags.
Thanks much! I appreciate it!
Excellent work 👍👍👍
Many thanks
Perfect job as usual. One question: No windscreen? Thanks & take care. 🙂
Not yet!
Nice truck!
Thanks 👍 have a great week
