Another spectacular resto. And finally a custom; perfect. Nice to see a custom in these restos! How about a Tonka camper truck resto/custom! Cheers, Geoff
Wow, I'm blown away with this custom build, I wish Tonka would have had the foresight to have done it back in the day, truly enjoyable, and maybe this project will make other restoration guys envious lol
My dear Joe, Of all the toy remodeling sites, you are currently the most creative on the board. What you do is not done elsewhere. Congratulations on your talent and your imagination to create unique toys that no one has ever seen! A + for you ...👌
An aftermarket creation of what Tonka never marketed in 1957. The dome 🚨 is Amber, Not Red which is the appropriate color. Only Fire-Medical-Police vehicles are to have a red dome roof 🚨 light. I am glad that someone sees it
Beautiful job !!! only flaw I seen was that you didn't make the rear tandem tires on truck pivet like they do on the trailer. Still a beautiful job great imagination
Hey Joey I love it but wondered if you could have used some old hubcaps not able to shine and painted them as they were on some of the old wheels that had those spoked axles maybe used paint markers and a nice single exhaust stack would been nice maybe used a tired crane spool and handle from a wrecker to made a winch behind the cab got the chain stainless steel jewelry chain to be able to pull equipment that broke down
Thanks! Tonka was always a year behind the real ford F series. So in 57 they were making a 56 and they didn't switch over to the new body style until 58
Love the restoration may I suggest a few ideas I thought you might used some wood grain paper and cut into strips and maybe made this into 2 parts the next a small dozer of construction equipment to be put on and chains to chain it down and found red and white for trailer lights and taillights on the trucks
Really nice custom! Curious how the fifth wheel and the fuel tanks are attached….just friction fit? Now you could go one step further and put custom wood decking on the trailer🍺
Instead of “Pimp My Ride”, we got Trick Out My Tonka!!!
Awesome job!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Love the old school pin stripping on the hood. Awesome job.
Thanks! Going to try it again on some other projects
This was never made because they didn't have you to show them the value of the vehicle. Well done sir. Thanks for sharing. 👍😁🇨🇱🇺🇸
That's one Tonka should have made! Great job!
Joe, je hebt weer een knap staaltje geleverd. Een schitterend voorbeeld van restauratie en customising.

I'm shocked the didn't. They had all the parts available already. That long frame is used on a bunch of other truck models.
Except for the winch to nowhere.
You have put together the perfect setup! A tractor with a winch and a Lowboy, Well Done!
Way cool, Joe! Great work and great imagination, too, coming up with something that was never made. Keep up the great work!! 😁👍
Joe you did a fabulous job restoring it
You can build the engine to make the model work. That's a great idea
What a masterpiece! If I understood correctly, this model does not exist in the TONKA range ... it's a shame it would have been a great success.
Correct, there are some similar customs out there but Tonka never made a tandem tractor
@@joe_diy interesting info 🤗
I've seen quite a few such videos. But building a new vehicle from old and new parts really impressed me. A masterpiece! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
We modelers call this "kit bashing." You give the term new meaning with a lovely creation! How's about showing us your collection from time to time.
I really need to make a video of the collection!
The custom builds are always so much fun!
They are!
Thrill Truck
Thanks!
One of the best toy restorations yet! JP3
Thanks!
I like very much the sticker 😎👍🏻 good job Joe
Donde compro los carros
Thanks man!
@@joe_diy the guy would like to know where he can buy your cars?
Good looking truck, well done! The touch of pin striping on the hood is very nice! Thanks for the entertainment, good job!🤓👍
A very beautiful job on that truck
Nice job
Beautiful restoration. Love the black trailer and frame on the truck.
Great refabrication of some old parts and new fabrication of parts! 👍🏻 Enjoyed the dry run, giving the viewers the layout… good stuff! Very cool 😎 📸🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed it
Very nice work on the truck cab. Create something Tonka did Not create back in the day
🤖
That turned out very well. Correct blacked out chassis and custom built. Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
That trailer looks good with truck .
Never seen one like this (mixed parts) it's freaking awesome!! Great video
Really good job dude! Hopefully you can do something like that again.
I'm planning to do more customs soon!
@@joe_diy Sweet! I'll look forward to it.

Wow, thanks! TRG restorations and Earl's Repair & Restore have done some great customs worth checking out!

You Sir, are a true craftsman. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you kindly!
Eyy that's epic

All it needs now is taillights and a piece of heavy machinery to go onto the trailer! 😃👍
Very cool creation.
Thank you very much!
Awesome video Joe, outstanding Job on the build !!!!
SUPER 👌👌👌👌👌
Thank you! Cheers!

Great Work!!!👍
Nice job creating one 😎 semi out of a mishmash of parts!!
Awesome joe
Thanks!
Beautiful job !!! only flaw I seen was that you didn't make the rear tandem tires on truck pivet like they do on the trailer. Still a beautiful job great imagination
Thanks Regan!
You had my 100% of my attention from start to end. Well done!! Great job!!
Glad to hear it!
Great job like always
Fantastic build!
Thank you!
You might been able to cut popsicles sticks as planks for the decks and used jewelry chain as chain downs
Who knew Tonka trucks could be so easily modded? (But then these are the pressed metal, old-school toys; so it’s a given…) 🤓
I really enjoy the simplicity of your videos! You do great work 👍
Glad you like them!
Nice job!
Thanks!
Absolutely amazing custom!
Glad you like it!
Great job 👌👌👌

Great adaptations. Too bad you didn't have a windshield
I know! Unfortunately they never made one for this generation of Tonka trucks and it would be a heck of a time to make one
Fantastic work Mate
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent job and beautiful work. Love the Customs!!
Custom!! Wow, you're really branching out now, Joe. I love it!!!
Trying new things!
Ottimo progetto... Ciao amico mio. Il mio saluto viene dal Italia...👏👋
ahh, rusted metal toys from the 1940s to the 1970s. they even came with the Tetanus DLC
No rust no fun!
Great job, but it's a 56 Ford, this was the last year of that body style, I drive a 54 F100 and you can paint it.
Thanks! Tonka was always a year behind the real ford F series. So in 57 they were making a 56 and they didn't switch over to the new body style until 58
Very sweet love it brother nice work as always Lee
Thanks 👍
14:12 It was worth cutting a place for the movement of the third axis. You have made the suspension locked and the rear wheels cannot move. Why?
Looks almost real.
Felicitaciones por el buen trabajo 🇵🇪
Nice restoration but you forgot to put a front windshield in it bcause it has a dashboard in it
Restaurar é uma arte... customizar é legal demais 😀🇧🇷.
Perfect Franken-Truck for Halloween month, well done Joe. :)
Thank you very much!
You should've made templates of those tandem plates and winch so you can make your own in future!😏
Next time! I think I have others around somewhere.
Love the restoration may I suggest a few ideas I thought you might used some wood grain paper and cut into strips and maybe made this into 2 parts the next a small dozer of construction equipment to be put on and chains to chain it down and found red and white for trailer lights and taillights on the trucks
Hey Joe
Great imagination on the truck
One of my favourites of yours
Take care
Mine too!
@@joe_diy
😁
Muito bom. Parabéns. Excelente
Now that's a boss rig! What is it going to tow!
I haven't decided yet. I'd really like to find a dragline for it.
Good question.
😌
:)
@@joe_diy thank you very much thank you very much thank you very very very much 🎂
You might have drill a hole small piece of chain and a peening rivet for gas Caps
loved the build. Is there a reason you didn't trim the frame of the truck wo that the rear axels would articulate?
👍🏻👍🏻
Nice rig & lowboy trailer. What are you going to put on the lowboy trailer 🤔
I know it’s a show piece, but couldn’t you properly mount the 5 wheel. Other than that great use of parts and pieces.
Looks great!! What no red trailer lights hahaha You did a excellent job restoring it
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thanks! I actually bought them but they were too small. I'm not sure what is supposed to fit the hole size.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
it looks awesome you need to make an excavator to go on it.
I want to find a dragline for it.
Really nice custom! Curious how the fifth wheel and the fuel tanks are attached….just friction fit? Now you could go one step further and put custom wood decking on the trailer🍺
The fifth wheel is kind of clipped on with the tabs. The fuel tank is attached with the same screw holding down the winch doing through the fame.
Where did you get the lowboy thanks Tommy
