Beautiful work! Love watching your videos! This is a 1962 - ‘64 model based on the grille , front bumper, and style of fenders pressed into the cab. All the same, you’ve done your magic once again!!!

The restoration of this little truck is amazing. This gives it a second live. The funny part of your video's is the line-up you make after disassembly and before assembly. It is beautiful and funny.

Another incredible restoration!! This truck looks better than new 👍 I am always amazed and impressed that you start with a vehicle in such terrible condition, and turn it into a highly desirable collectors piece. Great job!!

Congratulations to you, it turned quite nicely!

The common word for me in these videos is just WOW!

I just picked up this truck a few days ago and this shows up on my recommendations. Mine is almost mint. Worked at a Gambles Store my junior and senior years in high school. Also have a Gambles (Stevens) rifle.

That’s great! The mint truck is expensive and it is worth to collect, especially for you, it is a very precious and special meaningful collection.👍👍🎉🍻😄

Super cool well done.

1958. Ike was president. Subdivisions were popping up all over the country. Dads worked and most moms were housewives. Five and Dime stores like T.G. & Y flourished. A big weekend was going to to the soda fountain at department stores, like Newberry's or Macy's. Boys played with Tonka toys, like our host lovingly restored. Good times.

Great restoration work on this truck. I really enjoy seeing you bring these wonderful toys back to life. I do have a question. Where did you get those action figures you have at the end? Are they a particular brand, and how big are those figures?

Thank you for your compliment and comment!!! The figures are about 3.75”-4”, I don’t know the brand name, probably they are Lanard or GI Goe and I bought them on EBay as mix lot.
