1962 Tonka Allied Van Lines Moving Semi Truck Restoration

  • I purchased this 1962 Tonka Allied Van Lines Moving Semi Truck on HiBid March of 2021. This thing was in terrible shape and obviously has lived outside most of its life. The tractor / truck body was soo faded that it didn't even look orange anymore, I was only able to verify the correct color after removing the grille and finding some paint that had not been faded. The Van body was extremely rusted and after sandblasting had many holes in the front of the body almost like it was full of water at one point in its life. I spent a ton of time filling and sanding holes as well as rough spots. I didn't get all of them, however it was way better than what it was when I started. Overall I was extremely happy with this build. It was missing a windshield, and the door handles otherwise it was super complete when I got it. The only thing I didn't like was that the van body was all welded together. Definably was a fun project, however I don't believe I will be looking for any welded body semi trucks in the future. I estimate I had 3 plus hours into sandblasting the semi body alone due to how it is constructed.

    I have/had the same semi only my cab was a different design, single headlights, different grill. When you mentioned all the rust at the front of the trailer and how rusty the whole unit was I think I know why. As a child, whenever my family took me to the beach my Tonka trucks came with me. Often they would get wet as the tide came in. These constant salt-water baths ate away the metal, especially the axles.

    I'm always amazed at the quality of the metal underneath the paint. The term built "Tonka Tough" was certainly true. But not just Tonka. Back in the day these toys were built to be used. Played with hard and they could take a real pounding. It's such a pity the same quality isn't used nowadays. Great restoration fella. Thanks for sharing 🙂

    In June of 1963, My family moved from Illinois to California - all of our furniture and posessions
    were loaded into a giant orange Moving Van. As it drove away and we climbed into the family
    car to begin the long cross country drive, I can still remember the Mallard Duck Logo on the
    side of the Allied Van Lines truck.
    A beautiful restoration, like all of your work, it is of Museum quality and will hopefully preserve
    the memory of when the finest of everything, especially toys, were Made In USA !

    Yay!!! Another Chip Channel restoration! I'm one minute into watching it and I've already hit the "like" button. That's how much I love Chip Channel videos.

    Wow great job again. These toys sure bring back good memories. And your restorations are approved by your quality inspector.
