1930s Marx Light Up Military Rusty Truck Restoration
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- I purchased this 1930s Marx Light Up Military Army Truck October of 2020. It was in really rough shape but also was very cool! It had all of the holes to be a light up truck other than the grille. I decided to make this one into a working light up truck and remanufactured the switch handle and headlight contacts. I also was not a big fan of the wooden wheels, so I swapped them out for rubber ones and kept the wooden ones for later if I ever decide to put it back to original wheels. I really love how the color came out on this one! Also this was my very first time using a sewing machine and it went pretty well honestly. Thanks again for watching!

Welding and finishing of broken tabs is excellent. This impresses me every time!
Sewing tips for next time: wash and pre-shrink your cotton duck, then iron. That's what happened to the original: it wasn't preshrunk, the truck got left out in the rain, and the cotton canvas cover shrunk.
When you are sewing, the most important thing is the iron: keeping your fabric ironed gives you a better looking result.
Love to see your beautiful vehicles, the wacky sheep, and Quality Control Kitty!
Not only did you restore it back to better than its original form ! But you went above and beyond by adding the headlights and the new rubber tires and made it better than when it was new ! you truly are a artist keep up the great work I love your videos👍🏼🤩
Impressive work! I like the kitty, too
It's interesting to wonder if the original assembler at the toy factory would have guessed that almost some 80 odd years later you would come along and restore this magnificent piece of history?
Maybe one day Chip can open a Toy Restoration Museum...
And display all of his restored toy collection
Now all you need is a nice display cabinet for them. Maybe consider doing a colab with another channel ? You restore something for them, they make a display station for you - win win for both of you.
I love the way you bring an item
To be restored by your tow truck, it's like it's going to be alright this guy is going to make you look like your old self so I am taking you to get made over. I am in my seventies an I really enjoy watching you. God Bless you my friend.
Nicely said🙂
This is such a wholesome comment.

Well, we can now add sewing to your list of impressive skill sets.👍
These are such great toys, especially considering that it was the Great Depression era.
My 97 year old mom, as she says, "never had anything called a toy". They didn't have shoes in the summer, running water, or electricity...
...Very much, a rich kid's wonderful toy.
Ok what about cars vehicle’s cranes ships etc I’m wondering
We’re they pulled by horses or the lever operated ones

When I saw this one, I was afraid it was more rust than truck at this point; but you proved me wrong! Every one of these restorations makes me happy: I love seeing once loved and now trashed things being brought back to life. What wonderful work you do!
Nice only one thing missing... Commando Sheep XD
Congratulation chip Channel the Fábio and Rafael from Brazil. The best restauration. Long life the Channel.
Glad he goes the extra mile to wet sand. Shows he’s a good artist! Great video,keep them up!
Selection of tools and the noises they make is particularly satisfying.
Chip, lovely work EXCEPT that your new canvas top needs a dye job of OD green. The original was that color!
I would agree, also, military trucks don't have any "chrome" either.
Does it matter if it’s not the same color as the real thing
I should have known that sewing would be among your many talents and that there would be an official Chip Channel sewing machine to go with it! GREAT JOB on this one.as usual.
"I am not sewing. I am upholstering, which is one of the five original industrial arts."
Wonderful as always! Long live the Sheep! And the Cyclopeep!
You probably get this in every video, but it's incredibly satisfying to watch the paint and rust disappear during sandblasting. It just makes my heart happy. :)
It's my favorite part of any restoration! LOL
Aujourd'hui vous nous faites une démonstration de couture ! Félicitations pour l'ensemble de vos réalisations.
Oh I love that old looking tarp
This makes me happy bc my dad used to work for the navy
Pretty cool but it seems like there should have been a spacer for the wheels. Nothing stopping them from going together.
Sprintmademe; I've never seen anything like this before, not 🚫 even last year even in the past last decade/ 6 years.
If you watch closely during disassembly there were crimps on the inboard of the original axels to keep the wheels in place... but not on the replacements. Which makes me wonder: why replace them? Chip does amazing work, and of course it’s up to him how he wants to do so, but he always seems to replace serviceable axels & other rods but never really explains why 🤔 If it’s strictly for cosmetic reasons, they could easily be plated & polished. Again, the projects always turn out outstanding, but i always scratch my head about the axels 🤨
Thanks soo much for watching! I need to show it next time, I actually glue the wheels to the axle shafts and then let the axles spin in the body holes to roll, this keeps the wheels in place while keeping the sleeks design.
@@Gappasaurus I believe these crimps must have been reset, but not recorded. Because the axles has no barrier to prevent the wheels from roll to the middle of the axles.
The sheep with the hard hats used to be my favorites, but cowboy hat sheep is quickly moving up the ranks
No love for Pilot Sheep? 😥
Pilot sheep and cyclops sheep tie for third
Beautiful work, looks new!
Thanks for share!
The sheep look happy. Really nice restoration.
you did a great job restoring the military truck.
Should the grille have been done in a matte finish, as the army painted over all chrome parts on vehicles?
Love the videos, but in this one- I was a little heartbroken you didn’t keep those gorgeous wooden tires! They were in good shape!
I really appreciate these older toys. This one looks like a piece of handcrafted art. 💕♥️💕
Wonderful restoration and a cute happy loving cat.
10 Star!
IF you love the work you do...... You never work a day in your life! Such a great job bringing back toys from the past. When your imagination was limitless while playing.
I love the opening how the toy tow truck takes the soon to be restored piece away
All this state-of-the-art equipment, and then those scissors 😳
I never get tired of watching these restoration videos. These always come out better than when they were brand new. You do such awesome work. I really like the look of this vehicle with a vintage military look and working headlight upgrade! I would love to have this in my collection excellent restoration work!
And he can even sew. A man of many talents.
Those fingers near that lathe chuck give me the willies
I love the towtruck part.
Its fascinating to see how toys that were used to be made from a sheet of steel. My dad called them tin can toys.
Now....This one was fun to watch because you modified and replaced components and showed the process......great body color......WELL DONE
You did an amazing job on this .Surprised me a bit when you got the sewing machine out ..Well done .My Dad encouraged me to do dressmaking after buying a sewing machine for Mum who never showed interest so he did odds and ends on it lol..My favourite part of all in the renovations is the Sandblasting .It’s amazing just a few minutes and time and rust has gone away...Love watching the transformations 🥰
The simplicity of this toy truck is why i sooo like it! Great headlights mod too.
Just a suggestion - for your pliers, instead of using tape wrapped around the jaws how about using rubber tool dip on them? It would coat them in a soft but durable coating to prevent causing damage and can easily be redone when it eventually wears out. Just a thought....
My. God. Did. That. Truck. Come. Out. So. Sweet 🎂. Very. Nice 👍. Work. Lee
Never seen any military trucks like this
I was looking forward to today's video. Thanks, Chip!!!! 🤗
Great job, I like the white canvas, it adds character to the truck. Thanks again for another Awesome restore. Thanks for sharing
Great , happy for the next assignment .
⛽ tanker is catching my 👀
Me as well.
@@tony8074 like they say 2 great minds think alike 👍
Yep, rare find and in any condition, they don't give them things away!
Love the making of the contact cods, and the canvas. The military is proud and so am I!!!!! Great job!
I love watching powder baking.
That certainly was the appropriate tow truck to use!
This is one of the most legitimate restoration channnels I’ve seen. I love your videos chip!!
Thank you for working on the wyandotte toys it My home town and pre preserved a little history from it
I came across your channel just about a week ago and I love it. I love seeing the work you do, the end results, your cute little cat Beaker and The Sheep. I know they are cotton balls with googly eyes, but I Love the sheep! lol. (Especially when they get thrown or hurt and the 'I'm Ok!' pops up.)
Nice to see al that work on it. As new!☺
That was cool when u turn down the lights
Cảm giác như mk đang đc nghe 1 bản nhạc chữa lành vậy đó. Giọng hát của đp rất đặc biệt, nhẹ nhàng tình cảm. Xem video thôi đã hay ntn r, ghen tị vs ekip qaa nghe hát live chắc hay gấp 💯lần lunn
Excelente restauracion de este camion militar Marx Light Up de la década de 1930, estupendo resultado obtenido con la colocacion de luces en esta pieza, mis respetos y saludos desde Venezuela.💯👍👊🤘
Awesome restoration. Love your little helpers. Thanks for sharing and saving another toy.
Great restoration of a very cool looking truck. Nice one. 👍👍👍
Probably the most stylish military vehicle I have ever seen, and happy to see your junkyard is always full
Beautiful job, you take all details. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It use to be all about the sandblasting, but then the sheep came... Gotta love them...
I'm glad that you got that sandblaster fixed now it really cranks
Pretty fancy truck to be military - the bed looks like an Australian Type 304 "Tray" Ute. Whatever, it's a cool little truck and your work is awesome.
Nice sewing skills your mother would be proud. Nice job with the powered head lights that could of gone bad real quick if your drill slipped. A+
I love the Crispy Noise of Vehicles which you create while doing Restoration..
Carry on the Amazing Work
toys from the thirty's were more complex than the 50's and 60's! lights, etc.
A resto-mod in the truest sense of the word.
Love it! Canvas just needs to be green.
"Why is that transport loaded with sheep, private Anzac?"
'War brides, sir!'
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🙃 - 😆
❤️
Best joke I’ve heard in forever. Pity so many won’t get ❤️ 🤣 🇦🇺
Don't forget the tall boots ;)
You did a great job on the tarp
C'est toujours agréable de voir un excellent travail réalisé, et un gros câlin à notre ami le chat qui suit ça de très prêt.
It looked like the rust was the only thing holding it together! Great work as always.
Modification and restoration...nice job.
You are amazing I played with that exact truck at my grandparents I loved going over there just to play with the old truck thanks for the memories
Very nice!
I believe that the addition of a U.S..Army's Star emblem on the roof and "U.S. ARMY" in stencil on the bedsides would have been great....
Wow, for someone to use the sewing machine for the first time you did a relly relly good job.
I guess the old look had character
Toys back then were so simple. Stamped metal and rubber
Very impressed you know how to show!
I've been watching your channel for a while now and I have to say, that the sandblasting is very satisfying. Even more than the powder coating. Love your work.
Beautiful job. My boys had Tonka trucks.
More than 50 years ago.
I have not watched very many of your videos yet but I love the way you completely restore things instead of just fixing them or modernizing them like a lot of people do with things.
Many people alter or upgrade things instead of restoring them back to original, but then they call them restored when they are not.
Update:
After watching the rest of the video I realized that you also alter things, so I take back what I said about you doing perfect restorations!
You do PARCIAL restorations with modifications!
Also known as renovations.
Amazing! Although I prefer when you do more faithful to the original toy restorations, I love how nice this this one ended.
When sewing a straight stitch, use the reverse function at the end of your run for two - three stitches then forward again. Locks the stitch in place.
Good evening. Wow!! Stunning my Friend. These are not just models, these are the most Beautiful and Gorgeous works of Art. Your Restoration Skill and Top class Quality is Amasing. You really Love what you do and Create at the end. What a Beautiful collection you have now. You have a Good eye for detail when you are Restoring these Wonderful pieces of Art. Well Done my Friend. 😃😃😃💯💯💯💯👍👍👍🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
That was awesome Chip. Thank You.
You called that a rust bucket!! And BAM you brought it back from the. Brink thanks can wait for next bucket .
Chip this is a work of art!
That old piece of trap would still look good to use in the future
Fantastic restoration !!!!!!!!!!!!!
That little Bugatti, at the end, with the cat.
That collection is worth more than bitcoin.
priceless
So far my favorite. Good job
Seriously cool modifications
We normally use an iron to flatten cloth before sewing it.
Glad to see you eventually straightened that front fender...HA, no typo, back in the day that's what a 'bumper' did and was known as. If you needed to replace what we call a 'fender' you asked for a Mud Guard. Carry on.
Wonderful job - as always. Of course I loved the sheep and the kitty. You might make a fortune selling sheep. LOL. Hugs for the kitty.
I’ve said that before, but he hasn’t taken the suggestion. 😭
Fantastic Videos. I Love the playtoy from this time!
You never cease to amaze me, with the things that you build on the fly. You are truly talented.
