I just want to say Thank You! I have severe PTSD, and when I'm having a "Bad Day" I watch your videos over and over. I don't know why they calm me down, but they DO. So to you, your just restoring a old toy, but to me it gives my broken brain some peace. Semper Fi!

I had this as well. I ran it up and down the driveway for hours, leaning over it, hands on the rear bucket sides, it was kind of like a hand-skateboard.
Same here. I got it brand new when I was just a touch too big to ride in it (didn't stop me from doing it anyways). Those things were tough. Tonka Tough.
Beautiful resto. I thought this one was beyond saving. These videos bring back fond memories of my childhood in the 1960's - Tonka, Nylint, and Buddy L metal trucks and construction equipment. Nice to see these brought back to life.
I got one very young as well (and a dozer), I was born in 88, probably got it super early 90s. My boy is almost 3 now and plays with it. Still in great shape.
I wish I still have mine 😢 I was given one in 1989 ( I was 5 ) but my dad threw it away when I broke one of the tires. My 10 month old son would be using it by now if I still had it.
@@boricuadude26 The feeling is mutual. My mother on occasion liked to "clean out" the old cloths and toys, man how I miss those dinorider toy series lol
my mom just found the one I had when I was a kid out in her shed--I'm 47 so it's most likely a mid-70's model, and it is still in great shape except for some rust in the dump bed. I was worried that restoring it might depreciate some of the value, but hell--I love this and think I'll do something similar. great video!!!
This is such a fantastic restoration job, I might have had tears in my eyes while watching! It's simply so beautiful how you give life to this old an precious toy!!! Thanks so much!
I was born in 1976. So growing up during the time I can say that this exact truck was literally in every sandbox I ever played in. It practically lived in kids sandboxes or just a permanent residence somewhere in the back yard. Which of course is how it ended up looking the way it did in the beginning. That brings back memories.
Man... I was in tears at the end of the video. So many memories came back to my mind... when times were not that complicated. So many hours of great fun playing with Tonkas. Nicely done. Thank you. 😄
I had this as a kid in the early 70's! My grandfather's horse stepped on it, but still loved that thing. It "hauled" a lot of dirt! You've got me inspired now, brother!
I had the exact same truck maybe in '78 or '79 when I was about nine or ten years old. Used to sit on it and ride it down a hill in my neighborhood. That's how tough our toys were back in the day.
Im a 90's kid and we had similar trucks only from plastic and used to sitting on it and a parent was pulling without any problems. I loved that so much.
Ditto! Exact same truck in the video for me. I rode that thing down my hill hitting jumps and all. Here I am some 40yrs later a big rig truck driver because of this exact same tonka truck!
Hauled marbles and rocks and thought twice before I hauled a Barbie doll bed for the girl next door she repaid me with a kiss and I begin to understand there’s something women like about a pickup man
That Tonka had been loved and played with. You gave that Tonka the love it needed to restore it to its former glory. Great job and it even had 1 final play
In the 70’s my Tonka was a truck, a ride on toy, a skateboard (I was 5 what would you expect), this toy was so much a part of growing up in the 70’s and 80’s (well this and a big wheel). Thank You for the video, it was a nice trip down memory lane.

Now days kids are sheltered from guns. And when they finally get one, they use it to shoot people instead of toy dump trucks. But, this is by design so that the police have an excuse to blow away children that do have a BB gun. Things will never be the same until parents go back to parenting.
I just stumbled upon this video and it brought back some of my childhood memories. Me and my sister had one toy truck and I never used to share it with her, just as if it was all mine. One day we had a good flight over it and my dad threw it up on the loft so as to never let us play with for. But my sister somehow got it back for me and never asked for it to play with that truck ever again and I felt so guilty that I'm bringing everything she asked for, pay her bills and give her gifts, till date, no questions asked. That toy truck cost me more than a real one 😂
Man, you brought back some good memories. I use to spend hours in the back yard playing and riding my tonka truck. Those things were so well made I used it like a wagon to ride on.
Seeing this restoration brought back some serious memories. I had a Tonka truck exactly like that one back in the late 1970's as a little kid. If I had the money I'd buy this one off of you. Great restoration and thanks for the memories this brought back.
You are insanely skilled and know your paint codes VERY well. Smooth, patient tenique 👍 I remember opening this same truck brand new on Christmas morning 😊 It's awesome to see brand new again. Great job!
This channel shouldn't be called "Rescue and Restore" should be called "Childhood Resurrection" for it brings back to life memories of better times we long thought forgotten.
Every kid (myself included) who had this one had *_BEAT_* the ever loving crap out of it The truck was probably like "That all you got? Pansy…" The ones today are a little bit more kid friendly, but I don't think they went down in quality… at all
I can still remember the Christmas Eve night my dad took us out to look for reindeer tracks and when we got back to the house there was one of these under the tree for me and the Tonka road grader for my brother. We were about 4 and 5 years old, I wish I still had this dump truck today. Awesome video!!!
This is awesome. My mom recently gave me my old Tonka dump truck, spreader, and loader. I had no idea she still had them. They are thankfully not nearly as bad as that one but they need work. I want to restore them like this for my son's. Thanks for the inspiration!
I absolutely love the big pressed metal restorations: Tonka, Buddy L, Nylint, Wyandotte! Your attention to detail, quality of reproduction, and overall pride in restorations has made your site one of my favorites! Thank yiu for the entertainment, please keep up the excellent work!
Awesome as usual and you take the extra steps and time to make it look quality. The rivet setting tool with proper rivets, welding up the holes, not just cleaning, but polishing the axles and new and proper push caps for the wheels.👍
The BEST toy ever made!!!!!! You could do everything with it. You could ride it push it, dump rocks. Everything!!! A true American classic!!!!! The GREATEST TOY EVER!!!!!!
I had one of these. When I was 6 years old I was laying on my back and holding the truck above my head, studying the bottom of it when I dropped it on my face. After bleeding all over myself, the truck, and my mom I ended up with three stitches right above my right eye. Loved that thing. The truck that is.
I discovered this channel yesterday. It's 3 days til Christmas and I have tons of cookies to bake - You Sir are a problem. I want to watch every moment of this awesomeness. Gotta go I smell something burning but I'll be back -Subscribed ! Merry Christmas 2019 !

Imagine if after its restoration, some little kid from the 80’s knocks on the door and asks if his toy is ready. Like this workshop exists somewhere outside of time itself.
All I can say is WOW, THAT’S TOO COOL!! It’s amazing how well a sandblasting machine works in this case. Also, having the other correct tools and the knowledge to use them, makes all the difference in the world. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful piece.
This is the era of Big Yellow Dump Truck, I remember. It is the 1975 version, without the late 80's cab sticker, and the chasis is black. Spot on, and good job!
Sir, we used your channel as a most reliable babysitter for over a year. Our daughter turned four recently, and wanted 'a bwoken twuck and a sandbwustew' for her birthday. Thank you!
Loved my Tonkas as a kid. My dad thought he was doing a good thing getting me this dump truck and also a trackhoe, until he discovered the huge holes in the back yard!
You have remembered me of my old days .when my little bro and I used to play with the same tonka but .he passed away a few years but if he was alive he would give you a thumbs up.thanks keep on the good work.
My dad gave my brother a Tonka Truck similar to this as a birthday gift when he was little. It had movable parts and was really well made. He took it to school one day and traded it for two small plastic cars. Needless to say my parents where livid. He never got another present like this ever again. 😂

I was worried that restoring it might depreciate some of the value, but hell--I love this and think I'll do something similar. great video!!!

Absolutely brilliant to watch. I love the sand blasting and watching the powdercoat turn to paint. Thanks for sharing this.

Isnogood12 Literally dude. And I’m not even ashamed about it.
When you added the "white walls" on the tires I think I actually applauded.

I agree; from a piece of $h!t to a piece of art, some lil' kid's gonna LOVE that truck!
I'm from the Twin Cities area and I toured the plant in Minnetonka when I was a boy scout. All my friends had at least one of these things.
A TIME WHEN KIDS USED THERE IMAGINATIONS!
I had this dumptruck! We used to ride it down the driveway. Brilliant restoration, especially painting the sides of the wheels!
Man, if I had one of those sand blasters in home, my skin would look fabulous
i know its a joke but what if someone really sand blasted their skin
@@jrhooman Dermatologist will run out of business
"Dermatologists HATE him"
Try baking soda as a medium. Use sand, ONLY if you look like Keith RIchards or Tommy Lee Jones. Fugly!

All I can say is WOW, THAT’S TOO COOL!! It’s amazing how well a sandblasting machine works in this case. Also, having the other correct tools and the knowledge to use them, makes all the difference in the world. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful piece.
I had one of these as a kid, I miss that sucker. I could ride in it till I was about 10.
I did the same thing!
Me too lol
I have the exact same one at my grandfathers house

You are Truly Amazing
Your cleanliness and attention to detail is
Immensely Appreciated!
I can watch you sand blast all day everyday 💙💙💙
You can burnish the tyre rolling surfaces with a butane flame.
Loving your work!
This is the era of Big Yellow Dump Truck, I remember.
It is the 1975 version, without the late 80's cab sticker, and the chasis is black.
Spot on, and good job!
You are a master at recreating some fabulous toys of my youth. Thanks
Wow totally subscribed, I love no music, no talking, doing awesome work and it so mesmerizing and inspiring to make me want to do this.
Watching these videos is so satisfying and calming. I watch them when I can’t sleep and it really helps.
ABSOULUTLY IMPRESSIVE and a job WELL DONE👍🏻👍🏻.
I wish still had all my TONKA TRUCKS from the 70's! KEEP ON TRUCKING!!

Back when toys used to be made to last
Sir, we used your channel as a most reliable babysitter for over a year. Our daughter turned four recently, and wanted 'a bwoken twuck and a sandbwustew' for her birthday. Thank you!
Oh BTW, incredible job!
The final result is amazing. Thank you for rescuing this iconic piece of a lot of people's childhood.

Who else came for the sand blaster part? The most satisfying part of all videos.
Have you ever watched tattoo removal videos? Also pretty satisfying.
Actually, first time I see sandblaster gun, I didn't know that it even existed.
Blast and paint are my favorite parts

The sand blasting is my favorite part.
You do amazing work, the attention to detail is like nothing I've ever seen, the truck didn't look that good new... Thank u 4 sharing
When I was growing up I had a dirt mound and TONKA trucks..... Life was great.
I didn't realize how good I had it.
Thanks for the memory trip back❤️
Loved my Tonkas as a kid. My dad thought he was doing a good thing getting me this dump truck and also a trackhoe, until he discovered the huge holes in the back yard!
You have remembered me of my old days .when my little bro and I used to play with the same tonka but .he passed away a few years but if he was alive he would give you a thumbs up.thanks keep on the good work.
These videos are so relaxing to watch. My favorite part is the sand blasting. Appreciate your channel ❤️
My dad gave my brother a Tonka Truck similar to this as a birthday gift when he was little. It had movable parts and was really well made. He took it to school one day and traded it for two small plastic cars. Needless to say my parents where livid. He never got another present like this ever again. 😂
Thank you so much for honoring our “old friend” that deserves this love and care!
That sandblaster's all like "Die, Years!"
Why is there 2.2k thumbs down for this flawless video and restoration?
Because they couldn't do it 😉
