1962 Tonka Camper Truck Restoration
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- I purchased this 1962 Tonka Camper Pickup Truck from eBay April of 2020. Overall it was in great shape with only some missing paint and a few dings. Missing the back door and obviously well played with. Made for an excellent restoration.

Something about this build really struck home. My grandfather had a 1967 Dodge D100 that was almost the identical colour. I grew up in that pickup as I was born in 1968. Bravo.
It never ceases to amaze me how perfect these trucks look after you're through with them.
Watching your restorations is incredibly soothing and peaceful. Thx!
I know. He is so skilled and accurate with measurements.
7 year old me is DYING for that, to take on my toy adventures.... beautiful work!
I don't think Tonka toys ever used lead paint. If they had, the very stringent toy safety laws here in the UK, would have prevented their importation. I'm glad of that, as they were one of THE big toys of the 1960's and 70's. My brother and I had quite a few. Our dad was a civil engineer, and liked us playing with toy bulldozers, back actors, and face shovels. 👍👍👍
I’m not sure why I find these videos so fascinating but I do. I could watch these for hours!
Your attention to every last detail is what makes your work outstanding. Sooooooooo impressed.
Oh wow. I had that exact truck and camper when I was a kid in the late 60s and early 70s. 😊
Saw this on your other videos. Had to come looking for the camper restoration. What fun you have!
I remember this exact Tonka from my childhood in the 60's. One of my favorites. Beautiful restoration.
I love how this one turned out. The Blue and White is so beautiful! Awesome Restoration!
I am in Chip heaven now that the camper is beautiful! I cant believe Tonka did a top opening door instead of a side opening one.
Looks as good as the day someone bought it from a toy store. I love the old school colors.
Now that is a thing of beauty. Great work. We need to see a vid of all your restored 1960s/early 70s Tonkas, all together.
Great restoration. I was anticipating that the sheep would be taking a camping trip at the end of this one.
Wow, I had this one when I was a kid and it was in near perfect condition when my mom convinced me to donate it to my younger cousins who destroyed it a few months later...
Благодарю за видео. Смотрю для успокоения души. Помогает отвлечься от дел и расслабится. Всех благ. Всем добра.
Very nice! Once again your attention to detail & craftsman quality majorly impress! The reconstruction of the strap tabs was very well done! The overall quality of the project was top grade! Thank you for the entertainment & pleasure of watching you work! Keep up the quality!
I would love a job sand blasting on this scale. It's so satisfying to watch.
What a gorgeous shade of blue! I kinda' remember that from the Sears(?) catalog. MAN! What a treat that was, when the Sears Christmas catalogs came out. Beautiful job!
A wonderful restoration, Chip. You can immediately go on holiday with this.
I have this one sitting out in my living room...which was my brothers. Also the original box. Nice video...thanks
Beautiful work, thank you for sharing.
Nice color match to original. Just a boat with trailer away from a weekend at the favorite fishing spot.
This is very powerful repair👍👍
Ahhh, the camper, very nice job !!
Better than new. Love it. Now the cement mixer
Nice job. 👍 looking forward to the next one. My vote would be on the flat loader.
That thing looks ready to load up the family and head for da UP, ehh :) . Awesome job. Love the color.
Looks fantastic what a transformation well done 😀😀👍👍
So cool looking. Another awesome job. 😺❤😺❤
See how these toys were meant to last.... now it's just plastic crap in landfill and oceans! Love your work/art by the way👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love the way that sandblaster just blasts away the pink that's pretty cool
Very impressed with your restorations! Great to see these toys get a new life.
Beautiful as usual Chip.
Beautiful restoration job.
Love those white walls
Looks amazing as always 🥰
She’s beautiful again!
I love the intro with the junkyard and sheep! Another good restore!
I just love this one. Please do not run out of Tonka toys
Another wonderful restoration!!
I love the cotton ball sheep hanging out in the junkyard... Too funny. Beautiful job as well...
This is very powerful repair👍👍
Another great restoration, you are a great craftsman! Great job!
Awsome job love your talent wish I had that much talent
I too love the intro. I could watch this all day! sheep’s ......
I would really like to see that car hauler redone because of their cool and you keep up the good work you did a real good job and all those old Tonka trucks things like I have when I was a kid
Oh wonderful, this color is awesome
Thank you , Chip .
Total awesomeness, I love it. Can't wait for your next project.
This is very powerful repair👍👍
Amazing job! The attention to detail is on point 🤙
Yo! Your opening is the coolest for a kid who loved his Tonka trucks!
Thank you for the support!
Nicely done, sir. The pale blue color is so period correct, dad had 1 of the same color.
That looks so good. Time to go camping!
AWESOME resto!!
I really like your intro's, picking the new project up with the tow truck :) and love the cotton ball sheep lol
that tow truck is Rescue and Restore's project, why does this guy have it?
This is very powerful repair👍👍
Absolutely superb, my boy, Absolutely Superb. I am starting to run out of adjectives to describe your amazing restorations. I'll think of something because I own a thesaurus and that gives me a few more words. You are going to have to insure your collection or get a bigger dog.
Uh, ok....
Nice job well done color match looks spot on.
Duuuude.. you do bad ass restos.👍👍!
Gotta watch all your videos.💪
Nicely done Chip
enjoy your restorations the best out of all the youtubers i seen. love how you break down the costs and such, and where you got the parts incase somoone needs them
that turned out SO nice
I heard an eBay notification in the background. SOLD! it's so pretty!
Hola Chico I like that one ☝️ stay safe and stay home 🏡 see you next time 👋
My uncle had a real pickup from the late 50’s with that same color.
You know you old when... You played with these Tonka toys BITD.
Specialist updating toy trucks 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Good Restoration Done 👌
.
Thumbs up 👍
This cute tiny house on wheels is crying out loud for furniture ;) Great job!
Now that is totally awesome right there woot woot 🌞😊
Utterly amazing!
The one I’ve been waiting for. Thank you
As. I. Say. My. Brother. He. Had. Too. See. This. One. Love. Your. Videos. Brother. Lee. An. Brother
I always feel a touch of sadness when the original decals are blasted off. The restorations are incredible though!
There was no side windows for the toy pickup truck itself.
Best junk car yard everrrr and I love your lil sheep lol. Precious. Your video are so well done. This is my fav next to the truck and animal cart? Same color scheme 👍🏽
Thank you so much!
Muy buenas restauraciones. Los juguetes vuelven a la "vida".
BEAUTIFUL 😀👍❤
Cool video! Keep up the good work
Wow that Tonka is as old as I am.
Great work man . i suggest to sand the truck after sand blasting to give the truck smooth look .
First time watching your videos. Great intro. Very fun!
Exelente trabajo el que haces y a la vez tienes una envidiable coleccion,te felicito
Thank you soo much!
Really enjoy your channel! Would you restore the ramp/hoist truck next. Thanks.
Amazing campervan!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mike Espo....
Man. I. Seen. This. One. In. The. Yard. And. Hope. U. Will. Do. It. An. U. Did. Love. It. So. Much. Am. A. Camper. Man. Very. Sweet 👍😊. My. Brother. So. Cool. Like. Like. Lee
Quedó excelente. ma asombra que se consigan las piezas faltantes, siendo que son juguetes que se hicieron hace décadas.
Great work again.👍🤪🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
I kind of liked the look of the bare sand-blasted metal. Think the camper part would have looked good with a clear coat over that.
Luv the sean the sheeps
Another great job!
Great video! Thanks for the video!
I guess I should read the title of your video it pretty much explains what I asked about
You need little tiny cinder blocks to put the truck on after you take the wheels off!😁
Chip, I don't know if you would be interested, but you could contact the Minnesota Historical Society and ask them if they have any old photos of the factory where they were produced. You might even spot some of the toys you've restored in some of the photos! Minnesota Historical Society is very complete and would be glad to help you.
Very cool bro 👍
