  • I purchased this Tonka step side pickup off eBay the end of April 2020. When I received it I knew it was going to be perfect for a restoration. The bed had been caved in slightly on both sides, the windshield was cracked, tailgate missing, and lots of surface rust and missing paint. I lit it on fire in a previous video and featuring the fire truck. The restoration went great and did my first custom color on a restored Tonka. The video really doesn’t capture how deep of a color this is, I truly love it!

The only thing is I like decals better than stickers myself, because they will blend in with the paintjob when coated. But hey, that’s just nittypicking. Great job!
