    Oh my gosh. I have been to a few museums across the country that houses lots of collectibles. I always keep an eye out for some or all of the Tonka set I got for Christmas in 1955 or 56. It was a wonderful memory to see the same log hauler that was part of the set. Thank you for sharing. Dale.

    This truly a beautiful restoration. Those extra "tree trunks" make the whole thing even more valublable.

    Got one of those in the 50’s. Every Christmas my mom and dad would buy me one or two new Tonka trucks. I distinctly remember unboxing the log truck! 😎

    I've been having fun with that truck I got from you... I tell people I got this great little antique toy dumptruck from ebay and show them the before pic, then tell them how much I paid... the reactions are great but then they get even better when I show them the after pic.
    Some even want to argue that it can't be the same truck, so I hit them with the video link.
    This little truck means a lot to me, thank you for letting me buy it.
