1957 Tonka State Hi-Way Dept Hydraulic Dump Truck Restoration

  • This truck may be the most complex and exquisite toy in the Tonka series. It's a 1957 Tonka State Hi-Way Dept Hydraulic Dump Truck.
    Due to the lack of replacement parts for this truck, the restoration was delayed for at least a year. Fortunately, I finally found the last part, a replacement tailgate. I am very happy to be able to finally complete this restoration project and share the results with you.
    Although this Tonka has a complex structure with many parts, the restoration process was still fairly smooth, and the result was perfect.
    I was a little worried that a hole in the front of the cab would be a problem when doing the powder coating, but when the part came out of oven, I was really surprised at how good the result was! The surface of the cab was bright and there was absolutely no trace of the repair!
    I'm a little disappointed in the video for this project. I ended up having two small installation video clips missing. One was the tailgate of the carriage, and the other was a black bar with dumbbell light in the front of the carriage. Other than that it all went really well. I hope you enjoy the results!
    Thanks so much for watching and feel free to tell me what you think in the comments below.

    Wow! Another fantastic restoration. As with your other videos, I am thrilled to watch your impressive skills to disassemble, clean and re-paint the parts, and then re-assemble them into an incredible 'new' vehicle. Your videos illustrate the robust quality of old Tonka Toys. I also enjoy the 'scenes' you create with the finished vehicle, complete with the action figures. 100% awesome! Great job! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    In today's world, I kinda wish I could return to playing with my Tonka toys in my back yard during the mid 1960's. No worries, just me and my imagination. Thanks for taking me back to those days... you do superb work on these old relics of the past!

      I agree. I am from the same generation as you from the sound of it. Times were so much better back then than they are now. It's wonderful to have great memories from our childhood.

    I was given the ordinary tipper brown version, like this one, in the 50’s as a Christmas present. I still have it in mint condition and boxed. Even the hydraulic tipper mechanisms are all in perfect working order. I stay in Scotland and to get a American toy was something different.

    Back in the late 70's to very early 80's, I played with one of these, it was my fathers when he was a kid. It was in near flawless condition (as far as I can remember) It still had the chains attached to the back /side panels and was still glossy. also had the road grader to go with this.

    I love the color of the finished truck and the toy men at the end! Just became a subscriber. I have watched many restoration channels and yours is by far the best. You show every step of the process without over showing (like we don’t really need more than 15 seconds showing sand blasting to figure out that you were able to get the paint off all the parts). Looking forward to watching more of your work!

One with and one without the snow plows. Also the snow plows would mount up on other Tonka trucks from that time. Thanks for the video.
