That's so cool. I had one of these as a kid, my dad was a car salesmen and brought it to the dealer once and they gave it a paint job in the shop, it's black instead of yellow now but you would think it came from the factory that way. I used to use it as a skateboard as a kid lol, they sure don't make stuff this strong anymore. I have a cement truck too. My parents were doing a cleanup in the shed and figured I'd rescue them and they're in my house now. Brings back memories!
Came here from Reddit, next time you paint yellow, use a white or even pink undercoat that will really help the yellow pop like these old trucks used too. Cool video, I liked the trick paint white wall on the wheels.
I remember the commercial for this truck. They pushed a real dump truck and a Mighty Tonka down a cliff. The Mighty Tonka survived and the kid started to play with it,
Some crudy kid when we were younger threw one of these bad boys at my little bro and hit him on the head. I pushed the kid down and walked my lil bro into the house to mom.... I'll never forget you f-er

Where did you get the glass/wind shield from ?
Online. Google "Gasoline Ally"
Hi, could you tell me what brand/colour you used for spraying the yellow please - I'd love to know
Its rustoliom pain + primer in same spray. I think the name is "sunshine"
Where did you buy the new glas for the truck
You can find it on ebay or gasoline ally.
Nice job, I love these kind of videos. Although my favorite stuff is the sandblasting and you skipped through that pretty quickly.

Aluminum pop rivet on the dump hinge?
It's not gonna last.
Otherwise, fantastic.
