Despite some of the remaining dents, I'd have to argue that his restore may look better now than when the Tonka was new.

$$$
Even the toy trucks from the sixties look better than the real trucks being built today.
I just didn't say this to any of you, what if you plan on running a hobby store? 🤔
Yes
Your not wrong
Ha ha, I was thinking the same thing to myself. The weird swoopy designs they have now just don't compare. I have a 2018 Chevy Silverado, at least it pays some homage to the old square bodies of the 70's to 80's.
The toy truck literally has more metal in it too.
I love these videos so much especially when there is no music playing, it's just the sound of busy hands amd tools at work
I agree. No noisy music. Thanks.
Yes me too I don't like too many gimicks or effect just a simple video like this and no nonsense talking or anything
There's a guy wich everytime he sandblasts, he put some kid's cheers sound effect, that makes me smile everytime 😊
It takes a man with heart to restore old toys. Great work.
My Tonka truck went where i went as a kid and we would play for hours. Thanks for restoring mine and other people's dreams.
This brought memories back of my childhood when Tonka trucks were real metal internal cab rubber wheels the good old days. 🤠
How old are you?
That Tonka is so realistic it looks like a real 74 Dodge after a bunch of Minnesota winters.
Man you did an awesome job restoring that tonka truck 👍
Dude I got one like that for Christmas in the 70's and I can still smell the newness of that steel. Well done sir.
BEAUTFUL i had the same one. Wow. That brought back memorias. ..
These are the kind of toys I played with when I was a boy. I'm about to turn 71, things where a lot simpler back then. Now kids are playing with hand held computers. Thanks I enjoyed watching 😊.
Love watching folks that are really good at what they do.
How many of you also brought back memories and nostalgia, how I remember that childhood of how you took care of your car so that nothing would happen to it, I showed this video to my children, now they understand why.I keep those cars in my garage along with the tools that brought me memories, thanks for the video.👍😢😢😢😢😢👍👍👍🚚🚛🛻🚙🚚🚛😍😍😍😍😍😍.
Its beautiful my brother had Tonka Trucks as kid in 1960 and he loved his Trucks they were the best toys for boys and to see them brought to life was wonderful bringing back memories of little boys playing in the dirt when we had real families and peace
Absolutely awesome! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Low mileage, three-speed automatic transmission, one owner! 😊
Nice knowing that this wasn't actually weathered by the restorer manually since this is from the 60's. Gotta love the old trucks
I really enjoy these videos of old toys being restored great work
Awesome restore man. I enjoy watching restoration projects. Thanks for keeping the old toys alive.
The Camper was in pretty rough shape before-------but BRAND NEW NOW!!, thanks for posting, Joe DIY.
What an incredible transformation!!!
Beautiful job. I love to see these abandoned toys left to rust and die restored to just out of the box, show room new condition, This was one of the best I have seen!
I know I actually have a habit in watching these types of videos.
Keep watching!
So when I was a kid my Grandpa had an old red Ford truck with a camper he had on it all year round, and I had this exact truck, I loved that toy. He passed away when I was twelve and unfortunately my grandmother gave away my toy truck. Keep looking for another one would love to have it again one day. But great work love it!
When he pops the cab and there's an actual interior inside my mind was blown, thought the windows were made out of metal
I was just a shocked! Had no idea there was anything in there!
@@joe_diy what kind of tools do you use
Sigh of relief breathed and all is right with the world... 🌬️ Job well done you.
Beautiful. Another Tonka rescued for history.
This is exactly how I imagined the elves making toys for Christmas was like.
This is when they made toys and it look just like what the REAL THING LOOK 👍
Many fond childhood memories playing with my Tonka! I had a 65 Ford truck, or more like a van with a pick up bed. For the life of me I can’t remember what they are really called. Hours and hours of playing in the sunshine and mud, dirt, water! My Tonka got much love!!! Great restoration! I love to watch your videos! Keep up the superb work!
Ford Econoline, maybe?
bustyrandit That’s it!
GROOVY!!😁
The same truck also came with a fifth wheel trailer and two people. Early '70's. That one sure looks nice again, great job.
It amazes me when you take all this stuff apart that you remember how it all goes back together.
Amazing job. The rusty version looked good also. ❤️
Great work! There’s something very rewarding about bringing things back to life
when i was in kindergarten tonka was my thing, if you had a sandbox you had a tonka truck, i remember being no older then four and my mom took me and my sister along with my dad to a flea market and i found a huge bin of pressed steel played with tonka trucks, my little mind imploded and i just sat in the guys stall playing with the trucks and cars, the guy gave me the entire crate for free because i reminded him so much of his son when he was a little boy, those trucks could take a beating back in the day (granted my day is early 2000's). those trucks came to school with me, to the beach, parks, even to Quebec in the summer! i have fond memories of racing them down my uncles driveway since it was a hill with my cousins, i remember the big dump truck and riding around in that thing and flying down hills with it, some of those old trucks still remain, others have been sold in yard sales or giving to friends new babies. maybe one day the rest will go to my own kids once i have some
Man you did an awesome job restoring that tonka truck
Just beautiful! I’ve always wanted to do this myself! I’m so glad to see someone take the time to restore these classic old toys! 🛻🙂
I own this truck and the matching boat with trailer! I've been saving it for 25 years now for my boys (now grown). It was their father's when he was a boy. It isn't in perfect condition, but close. I loved seeing this one restored!
Beautiful job, thanks for sharing, Joe!
Glad to see you did keep the red. You did not let on that you ordered the door and windows. Wonderful job!
8:56-- So THAT'S how you do that! Thanks for the tip!
Oh boy, I saw Tonka and Restoration and just had to click play. I owned one of these back in the early 70's and wish I had managed to keep hold of it til now. An amazing restoration and I am now off to check more videos on your channel.
LOVE THIS!! I have a couple of Tonka trucks. My dad had a red truck with a white camper. 🤗🤗
Nice. I’m equally impressed at how you were able to find parts for that.
Brings back memories of a friend and I would build a town out of bricks and pave the roads with wet sand/cement. I had a Tonka jeep slightly bigger. Those were the days. Nice job. 😊
My mom told me n my brother that we used to sleep with our Tonka trucks when we were kids 😅 I was born in the 70s so we had the good metal trucks! 😉 Cool restoration man!
Joe You Have Done The Best Job I Have Ever seen On This Tonka Dodge Camper Truck!!! Even Better Than Brand New All Original!!! Excellent!!! Thanks Joe Super Job Buddy!!!
It's an Honor to have grown-up in these times had many of these truck's & the bigger they were I could ride on them down a hill👈😁 you of course will never see this quality again new toys suck!! Thanks for this Awesome video 👈👍!!!
WoW! This turned out nicer than nice! Thanks
Bright and Vibrant Colors...Well Done 😁😎😁
love those old tonka trucks. you could use them as a skateboard if you wanted to. as a kid i had an old jeep pickup. used a big hammer to fix the tailgate. worked like brand new.
Absolutely Beautiful. Hard to believe it’s the same truck and I can’t believe you got that windshield looking brand new. I honestly thought you would have to buy a new one.
Wish my camper was that easy to take off and put on
Wow amazing transformation. I can't believe how well the windscreen and interior came out.
I didn't even know it had an interior until I pulled it apart!
Dvvxx
I'm sure that would bring a big 😀 to some young adventurer today! Nice job!
Now it's a nice collectable...👌
Extremely Satisfying to watch
Excelente restauração parabéns pelo trabalho !!! Thiago from Brazil !!!
Absolutely amazing! Great work!
Beautiful work with excellent results. The window sure polished up nice. Subscribed!
I dont know why I am totally amazed by these videos ?
That's awesome! I still have a couple of my Tonka truck metal toys from the '70s. The early '70s.
White paint on the box for tire lettering is brilliant
OUTSTANDING, FANTASTIC!!
That's cool Tonka truck
The only letdown is the view inside the blasting cabinet. Great restoration as always!
YES YES YES #1 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
...& that sales pitch!
lol, thinking the same thing... needs to restore that window
@@wuenceslaoippolito8408 8uyhggt
I would say I was a bit curious why he was using a drum on the Dremel, it seemed to go past the rivet and Nick the sheet should have been a knob
Where's my sleeping bag and mattress? Good Job!! 🌞
The way you did the white letter tires was way cool
Nostalgia for the old days
I think that is your best restoration yet! Excellent. Thank you 🧡
Excellent work! Beautiful Tonka, my childhood!
HERMOSO QUERIDO, MUY BUEN TRABAJO....Y ADEMAS TE FELICITO POR RESTAURAR TANTAS..." RELIQUIAS.." COMO ESTA...👍
That came out great, nice job.
Came out crispy clean
It came out really good.
It's always satisfying to see rust removal. I loathe rust.
Brings back some great memories. Nicely done.
Absolutely beautiful 👍👍
When I was a young boy, I had that same truck with camper. Wish I still had it.
Nice recovery. It looks awesome. Always love the red and white. Good job. Take care and stay safe. ❤😺❤
Absolute fabulous job❤
This truck is ready for the camping trip again.
That is an awesome restoration job on that Tonka/Buddy L truck!!
neat projects and you seem to have the right tools so cool
Amazing restoration job.
VERY COOL!!! This is something I’d LOVE to do! Where do you get the replacement rivets, replacement parts (hubcaps, glass, etc), the tools, etc? Definitely something I’d love to do!
Just beautiful. Wish I had the talent. You are inspiring!
The question is will it start up first turn of the key! Fantastic job mate, watching from Queensland Australia. I love how the camper windows open to. I really love the camper
They don't make em like that anymore ! Had quite a few Tonka toys as a kid in late 60s , early 70s. They were tough as hell.
tengo 59 años y mirando el video volvi a mi niñes
Beautiful restoration awesome!!
Well done. I enjoyed your work.
Great job on the capmper. It looks great.
Gran trabajo y mucha paciencia
Beautiful work
Que juguetes mas lindos , hechos para toda la vida , 👍👍🤗🤗👶👶👶🧒🧒🧓🧓👴👴👴 lo pasado siempre fue mejor !!!
Another fantastic restoration!! Hats off!
That was a awesome transformation! Very enjoyable !
I had 1962 Tonka Surrey Jeep #350. Sometime in the next 200 years it will be found in a Southern California landfill and will become a museum piece for the researchers who discover it.
Amazing how it popped apart in so many components
This guy really needs to restore my ford and stop playing with tonka toys 😂🤣😅
Ford = Fix Or Repair Daily Ford = Found on Road Dead
I’d want the same thing for my old 20 year old Silverado!
