Hey man don't worry about the hate comments. By making these videos you make our days. Thanks
Best Tonka restoration yet!
Beautiful job front to back ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Oh my gosh. I have been to a few museums across the country that houses lots of collectibles. I always keep an eye out for some or all of the Tonka set I got for Christmas in 1955 or 56. It was a wonderful memory to see the same log hauler that was part of the set. Thank you for sharing. Dale.
This truly a beautiful restoration. Those extra "tree trunks" make the whole thing even more valublable.
I have two sons that work in the woods and I am sure they would enjoy this video.
I've been having fun with that truck I got from you... I tell people I got this great little antique toy dumptruck from ebay and show them the before pic, then tell them how much I paid... the reactions are great but then they get even better when I show them the after pic.
Some even want to argue that it can't be the same truck, so I hit them with the video link.
This little truck means a lot to me, thank you for letting me buy it.
Very cool!
Got one of those in the 50’s. Every Christmas my mom and dad would buy me one or two new Tonka trucks. I distinctly remember unboxing the log truck! 😎
Loved the logs and chains, made it more authentic 👍👍
This is soo cool!!! I wish they still made toys like this!!!
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Er Mah Gerd! You made me so happy when you added the little logs! You even chained them to the truck! Thank you so much for going that extra mile!
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Who else as a kid loved their Tonka toys as they put them to work in the sandbox
Another awesome restoration... but have to admit the double "Yay!" for the new cabinet was the best bit! 😊
Thanks! it's a pretty awesome cabinet, had to give it the double lol
Love watching that rust disappear and that fast hammering sound is hilarious lmao, great job Bro.
One of the few times I enjoy watching paint dry. Great job!
lol Thanks 👍
That new cabinet is better than the one we have at work and we're purportedly a professional metal working plant.
Well done. Children should be encouraged to do the likes of this too
Awesome Restoration!! Got 5 Stars from me my friend!! 👍👍👍 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ God bless and stay safe my friend!! 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks 👍
I am always glad to see something old made new again. Thanks for sharing your skills. Thanks for preserving a small piece of history. I sure wish I could have gone on a tour of a factory when they were making toys like this. You did a great job on the video and the project. 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Amazing. Love the final look.
Now the red machine is black machine, I love this machine...... Greetings from Chile friend
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
really nice restoration, the logs set it off
Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Sweet! Might just be my new favorite.
Congratulations on the new sand blasting cabinet. The stationary nozzle was a great idea.
Thanks for saving some our history.
Thanks 👍
When I first saw the truck that’s what I would imagine a log truck to look like in real life,because of the wear and tear the woods takes no prisoners.very nice 😎😎😎👍👍👍
lol so true
Great job, it looks perfect and once again a Tonka that I didn’t know existed.
Glad you liked it!

Watching these videos make me feel very nostalgic! I had a Tonka log truck in the mid 60's. It even had wooden dowels cut to length for the logs!

Very nicely done.
Thank you! Cheers!
Coming from a body shop, I'm happy you're using a stretch hammer to work the metal back into shape. Also, the sandblasting is my favorite part!
Thanks! Never knew the name of it, just bought an "auto body set"
Mate! It’s immaculate! Double YAY!
Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Very cool truck. You don't find these very often, and they usually comand a high price. Great restoration.
Thanks 👍
Great job!
Thanks!
Nice restoration. I still have a 1957 Tonka Tipper truck in Brown fully working in mint condition. Also a Red Tonka covered truck 1958 with a boat trailer, in mint condition. Both boxed and hardly played with, hence unmarked. Sent to me in Scotland from America in 1957/8 as Christmas Presents.
Very cool!
@@TRGRESTORATIONS Thank you. I do have detailed pictures of them both from various angles.
Awesome job!!👍
Thank you! 👍
Very cool restoration)
Cool ❤
Brings Back Memories. Keep Up The Amazing Work
Thanks, will do!
Possibly one of your best! Excellent work 👏

Cool!
I know it's only a toy truck, but what comes to mind is "That's cool" Nice work fella.
Thanks 👍
the best, show!!!!!!!
Parabéns pela restauração, ficou linda . Como eu gosto de ver essa máquina de jato limpando as peças é incrível.
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Honestly love the sound of a Tonka getting beat to shit, but I also love seeing them getting cleaned up
A great restoration. Looks amazing.
Nice dude. Great work.
