    Really nice job , it turned out great. If you spray white paint on some card you can carefully dab each tyre on like a print and it replaces all the lettering. It would finish it off perfectly . Very well done .

    This non-hydraulic dump truck also came in two other color combinations: an earlier red body with green bed and a later tan body and tan bed with a white cab. This turquoise and yellow combo shows up in the 1964 Tonka Look Book. Suggested retail price was $4.00 which is about $34 in the year 2020. It would be cool if you restore all three color combinations.

  • @shanemcguire170

    One other suggestion @ 20:10, I have noticed you are using Green Stick to polish the nickle plating jobs. You will get a brighter finish using Jeweler's Rouge in stead of the Green Stick. Jewelers use a three stage process to get rings and other metals to "brighten up", white, green and then the rouge. Yes you will need three separate polishing wheels to execute the stages properly...

    @shanemcguire170 3 года назад

    Suggestion at 8:34 with the tail gate. I know your attempt was to preserve the "Tonka" stamp in the tail gate, hence the pieces of wood, but you could have also taken those same pieces of wood and temporarily hot glued them to your vise jaws and used the vice to straighten the tail gate from both sides by closing the vice jaws with the wood, rather than using the hammer.
    Also I think in the instance of the dump-truck bed, you might have considered making a modification to the tail gate latch. Bending the bed ribs is a pretty risky move when you are going to have to bend them back after powder coating and ruin the paint job on the (fold lines).

In the future; Bugs bunny will be nothing, compared to Ren and Stimpy. These guys are like, cartoon characters that are from the pit of hell.

    You did a great job on the truck but from now on file down the back lift rod to make it round (safety) like you put the black tip on lift rod for the dumpster part. Even if the parts doesn't originally come that way. It puts a nice finishing touch to the truck.
