You have taken a derelict metal carcass and turned it into a sparkling ruby gem! Now I wish that Tonka had been more imaginative with their color palate of the past. You have improved on a classic and made it even better and more desirable! Well done!!
This was my dads only Christmas gift as a kid in 1957. His younger brother got the blue farm truck. Seems to be awfully rare, I've been trying to find him another for quite a while. Fantastic restoration!
Concur, I saw one of these when I was a kid in the 70s, obviously it was old then and not in good condition. I always wanted one myself. this was so enjoying to see, thank you.
@@ar_restoration I still enjoy bringing the old toys back to life. I have about a hundred I want to restore and leave them for my grandchildren. I enjoy your channel!
im glad i found your channel. i used to make contest winning models when i was 12 years old. that was almost 48 years ago lol. it kind of remined me of those days
🎨🔧🔨🔩 You are a master restoration & artist. I have been viewing your channel since 2020 keeping my mind so entertained educated. During the harsh times of the World wide health crisis Your restoration projects was a video marathon that has me motivated to do a lot of hobby project restorations of my own. Starting with model railroading. I grew up with Tonka , Nylint, Buddy L trust your viewer my collections haven't looked like these at all. I love what you do & further comments to come. Well done with this bright red oil truck restoring looks brand new AR.❤ 👍
Great job on vintage 1️⃣9️⃣5️⃣7️⃣ tonka gasoline truck restoration beautiful color ar restoration I love your videos here on youtube on your youtube channel keep it up and happy new year 2023 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Another excellent restoration! The color is great! Very good job matching the cab to the chassis! Once again thank you for the entertainment! As always, the crew members add the final touch! Very much enjoyed, looking forward to the next project!
Your restorations are top quality! Superb job on this fuel truck! It looks awesome!! I like the fantastic paint job - the colour of the paint, and the decals are done so well! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Looking at the before and after most people would think they are different toys. Your restoration was truely a work of art. I enjoy watching old things brought back. Kudos!!
Wow. I have one of these in very good condition that I got for Christmas when they were new. My dad drove an oil truck and I wanted a truck like dad drove. I couldn't read at the time, so I had no idea it said "gasoline" on it and not oil. Thanks for posting. Great memories.
I bought a 57 cab but when I disassembled it that I found the cab not fit with the chassis, maybe the frame is year of 1961, and it’s also the first time I see there is a hose in the tank
Another great restoration job. But, have you ever considered taking a '60's or '70's muscle car and giving it a Resto-mod, or maybe going crazy and doing a Rat-rod? I think that either would be awesome.
I did at least two projects, one was Nylint roadster and another was Nylint custom, but not many people watched them. I like Hat Rod and will do more. Thank you so much for your good suggestion and great comment!👏👏🎉🎉👍👍🍻😄
Nice Rare Tonka. Was a little baffled why the frame was cut?....Then, remembered and thought to myself, I like the classic round fender look a little more than the square fender '58. Clean restore.
You, are amazingly gifted at performing these restorations. Thank you for posting your work, continuing to enjoy each new episode & the ones I continue to discover.
A very well made restoration. But me personally liked the old patina on that truck. The patina gave a kind of personality and history to the toy, which is now lost forever. I would not touch the old paint, just doing repairs, which are invisible.
Yes, some people like original patina, I like it also. But this one missing cab it’s very difficult to find out the same color cab, as a restorer it should be better way to restore it. Thank you for your comment!!!👍👍😄
An excellent restoration very professionally executed! The adaptation of the other cabin to the chassis, the very carefully and professionally executed dent removal work, magnificent. In short, it has become a beautiful model again.
Beautiful restoration...... As always! I was surprised when you put on a clear coat (I've never seen anybody do that with a toy restoration before), but I have to admit the results are fantastic. When you're restoring these toys, and you see how scuffed-up and dented they are, do you sometimes wonder about the magical adventures that the kids had playing with them? Does it maybe bring back some memories from your own childhood? (It does to me!)
Wow brother awesome job. Attention to detail was magnificent. I have that same tanker to restore. Hope mine turns out as good. I had absolutely no idea there was a spring and key that inserts into a hose. No surprises now. I will definitely keep an eye on you. Thanks for sharing. Have a merry Christmas. George
I am not an expert and sometimes I couldn’t recognize the difference of their production year, the cab I bought I think it’s 57. Thank you so much for your compliment and comment!!!👍👍🎉🍻
This is an old-fashioned fuel transport truck. It doesn't come in the form of the 18 wheel Peterbilt that tows a fuel tank. Like the way the Decepticon triple changer, Octane does in the 'Transformers.' This robot also comes in the form of the Boeing 747. 🚚 🛻 🚛 🚒 🚚 ⛽️ 😳 😎 👏 😍 👌 ⛽️

Love the primer and wet sanding before adding the top color!
I loved this video, especially the very extensive bodywork on the tank and then adapting the frame to fit the replacement cab.
Glad you love it! Thank you so much for your wonderful comment and support as always! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!🎉🎉👍👍🍻😄
Beautifuly done!😍😍😍 I never knew it was supposed to have a hose in the back! Those things are expensive!💰 Sold mine couple weeks ago for 430$ locally.

The frame was longer it couldn’t fix with the cab that I think the chassis wasn’t 57
@@ar_restoration '58 square fender frames are about 1/2 inch longer to accommodate the longer hoods on '58 - '63.

You should powder coat the aluminum with a clear coat to prevent it from reoxidizing. Hella restoration!
Thank you for the suggestion, I will do it next time.
