1930's Light Up Metalcraft Heinz Pickle Truck Restoration

I purchased this 1930's Metalcraft Pickle Truck June of 2020 on eBay. It was a great looking piece and not missing anything. It had plenty of wear and tear, making it a great candidate for a restoration.
Thank you for taking the time to watch this restoration!

    I'll put this at the top-level since I see a few comments about it: the NRA logo firmly dates the trucks to no earlier than 1933. That one, with the "we do our part" motto, was from the National Recovery Administration, a US Federal agency formed during the Great Depression, existing from 1933 until 1935.

    As I have seen several of these restorations, I have been noticing that many of this manufacturers undercarriages have two, rear wheel mounting positions. Am guessing these chassis' are used on several different models, depending on the location of the rear wheel wells. Great job on breathing new life into these incredible toys.

    What a truly magical gift to present to a child during the time that this toy was made. The mystic way the headlights come on would doubtless have been as delightful for a child then, as it was for me now, just seeing you bring this toy back from the brink of destruction and loss.
