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.
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!!
This was restoration great, now if only a real Gambles store left anywhere it would have been perfect. Thanks for sharing your video and bringing back my memories. 👍😁🇨🇱🇺🇸
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!!!
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.👍👍🎉🍻😄
I was born in 1957 so that wood make this beautiful pickup truck 64 years, and also that wood make me an Eisenhower baby, because President Eisenhower was in the oval office then.
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.

What type medium do you use in your blasting? Glass beads or walnut Shells might be less dusty making your videos clearer.
I used Black Beauty abrasive, the dust have been a big problem. I will use the glass beads you mentioned, thank you for your good suggestion!👍👍

Muito bom excelente trabalho. Faltou você mostrar onde conseguiu a tampa traseira. Ela só apareceu na pintura
Thank you!!! you mean the tailgate? the original truck missing a tailgate, I bought a replacement part
Had one when i was very young had no idea it was so old great to see it restored. Gimbels must have gone away in what 1970?
Yes, Gambles ended in late of 1970s. Thank you for your comment!👍👍
Super good job 👍 👍👍

Awesome! Did I miss something or wasn't this missing a tail gate at the beginning?
Yes, the original toy was missing a tailgate. I bought a new replacement part, I forgot to indicate it in the video. Thank you!!!🙏 👍👍😊
