  • I purchased this 1962 Tonka Jet Delivery Truck on eBay February of 2022. I've been looking for one of these bad enough shape that it needed restoration. This truck was made one year only with the truck bed sides and Jet Delivery decals. When I opened the box much of the paint had rubbed off in the bubble wrap but what remained was extremely cool looking. There was green and red corrosion on the bare metal parts, the paint was all wrinkled up and peeling away, the majority of the body had extreme amounts of rust while other parts you could see what appeared to be clean metal. The wheels and tires were shot and I had to purchase replacements as well as for the glass which was broken. Overall I love how this project came out and honestly I love the pictures of the corrosion prior to the rebuild, it was absolutely stunning. Thank you again for watching!

    Though I liked the various dolls I was given, I envied my older brother's Tonka cars, dump trucks snd crane. When I was around six, my Dad gave me a "found" blue horse trailer for my various plastic animals. I played with my long trailer more than my metal kitchen set (refrigerator, stove and sink). Once we became teens our toys were passed down to younger relatives or donated. Thank you for bringing them back to such amazing conditions. 🍄🍄

I did not find a Tonka. When replacing the sewer line in my 1951 house, I found a rubber truck. I did clean it up.

      @eddygonzalez6018 18 днів тому

      ​@@MrKenstar2I understand what your saying. It's easy to break, add grease and other stuff to make things appear older than they are. The problem here is oxidation. You van make something look as if it was oxidized, but for something to actually oxidize takes time and have bugs in them, takes time in harsh conditions. Oxidation is a chemical reaction, in this case ions are exchanged with oxygen. Metal (ferrous 2+ extra electron or Ferric 3+ extra electrons) oxygen has 8 electrons to share. When H2O come in contact with Fe you end up with a passionate match of 4Fe+3O2 - 2Fe2O3. Depending how much of this reaction has taken place, you may or may not have enough Fe left to work with. This is a simplified version of oxidation. You can't sand blast something that is grime to make it look oxidized. It must be clean of residue or grime. It's kind of hard to achieve such natural form of decay unless the where bought and thrown away allowing it to rust and be decayed by nature over a long period of time. If that's the case, he's still doing a darn good job at restoring it back to mint condition.

    Back when I was a hippie, I discovered a 1958 GMC Pickup in a garage. I bought it for $3,000, fooled around with it for 2 years, and finally ended up selling it for $3,000 with no wiring in it. Just a short story from the good old days. You did what I wanted to do only smaller. Keep up the good work!
