1967 Tonka Gas Turbine Cab Bottom Dump Semi Truck and Trailer Restoration Number 910
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ม.ค. 2022
- I Purchased this 1967 Tonka Gas Turbine Cab Bottom Dump Semi Truck on eBay November 8th of 2021 for $73.92 ( $30.21 plus shipping and tax). This truck was in perfect condition for a restoration, the body had extensive rust, it was complete minus the hub caps and white wall tires, and definitely something I had been looking for. At that time I didn't realize that this truck would also turn out to be the most frustrating restoration to date. From the very start it went south. The truck came in with the windshield and plastic broken due to shipping damage. Then while tearing it apart I damaged the four tabs for the inside bottom dump panels, I later figured out the correct way to assemble it. Then during the assembly process I ended up breaking the white interior piece which cut my finger pretty badly, I ended up using UV glue to repair the interior parts well enough to finish the video and I will have to replace it once I get another interior restored for it. Overall I'm happy with how it turned out. However the process of restoring this toy on time for the video this week was definitely a challenge. Thank you for everyone's support! I hope you enjoy this truck more than I have this past two weeks.

I'll be 70 in August. You brought back wonderful memories of my childhood playing with my Tonka trucks.
Thank you very much.
Got one of these Gravel Spreaders for my 7th Birthday. I just turned 63 and still have it and keep it safe.
I've watched many of your videos and the care and attention you put into your restorations is obvious. It just occurred to me that the "after" photos you include of the finished restoration(s) must conjure memories in the minds of some of your viewers, specific memories of those precious childhood moments when a gift under the Christmas tree or when a birthday gift from thoughtful parents is unwrapped and the Tonka truck is seen for the first time and the joy and elation is felt. These memories and feelings are too soon forgotten and should, instead, be held close and cherished. Childhood should never be underestimated and your work proves it.
на это вечно смотреть можно ,работа доведённая до совершенства , вы Мастер ,говорю вам как ювелир реставратор с 20 летним стажем работы) моё почтение
Сам смотрю на эти видео не отрываясь. Могу же и я делать такую работу, но единственной преградой является полное безденежье, и нет возможности купить себе помещение для мастерской со станками и множеством необходимых для работы инструментов.
I love watching you restore the Tonka vehicles. It reminds me of the 1970 Tonka Truck with camper I had!
You are a professional restaurateur 👍👍👍
Thank you Konrad! Have a great Sunday!
You can tell that it was a well loved toy and spent many days outside in the dirt beside where ever it ended up being before found and sold to you. I am sure that it is just like Christmas when you find a Gem like that and then again once all the restoration is done and you are at the time of reassembling. Great job. Appreciate you sharing.
Thanks xyzt qweo! I love when I find really beat up old toys, definitely makes my day!
@@ChipChannelRestorations coolest 😎
@@ChipChannelRestorations how and where do you get all of those Tonka vehicles? Btw I love how you restore them keep up the good work 👍
thank you for commenting this . I want to know more about you guys

Thank you for your posts! I used to think the sandblasting was my favorite...but over time, my favorite has become the metal work; banging everything back into shape and fabricating new parts. Your restores are awesome.
It's always a great Sunday when I can watch a Chip Channel new video. No one, IMO, compares to your quality of restoration, and videos. GREAT JOB!!!!
Sandblasting is so satisfying to watch.
Totally agreed deathsbane!

What a cute lil spider! I'm surprised how long it stayed hidden while you were taking apart the truck!
Thanks for the video, it's relaxing to watch you fix up these old toys
You are truly an artist, I do this on a much smaller scale and know first hand how tedious and frustrating it can be. But the results always seem to make it worth while. Thanks for your videos, I have picked up a number of tips and ideas, really appreciate the extreme dedication you have to perfection.
Wow! This was definitely a rust bucket. You brought it back to life. I'm sure that it looks better now than the original. You are such a spectacular restorer. Your detail is spot on. Beaker is really a beautiful kitty.
I simply can't tell you how much I've enjoyed watching this I'm hooked on these things now ,but this one this one was stupendous!!!😁👍🏻
Какая сложнейшая работа, столько деталей, поломок, замен. И модель очень редкая. У нас, в СССР, таких игрушечных машин и впомине не было...
Chip, Вы как всегда на высоте! 👍✨👏
А Ваш смайлик во время очистки, каждый раз вызывает улыбку, как будто вижу Вас вживую.
С нетерпением жду следующий выпуск. 🎄❄️🕊️ Привет из Санкт-Петербурга! 👋
What kind of dump truck this is, is this a garden soil dump truck? Peat moss is best recommended top soil; is what I suggest that you use, for your garden plants. 🪴 🌿 🪴
Так-то всё круто, но хорошо когда есть замена, и я сейчас не о декалях, а о пластике кабины и о белых дисках.
Есть такой эвакуатор. Сейчас мой сын ишрается
I always look forward to your restoration videos of these classic old toy vehicles. This one was no disappointment. You go the extra mile to make each restoration turn out to make the toy look better than new. I have been a subscriber now for about two years. It has been interesting to see how your techniques have evolved over time. You keep figuring out new and better ways to get the job done! I have to admit that when you first displayed this particular truck, I thought it would not be a terribly difficult one for you to do. It did present you with some challenges, but you still were able to overcome them and produce yet another masterpiece. It was so amusing when you came to focus on the original whitewalls for the tires. You flashed up on the screen that they were "rough." Rough did not even begin to address the condition of those original whitewalls! Keep on restoring and putting these videos up! There are several imitators who also put up videos here on TH-cam, but none of them produce the spectacular results that you do. For me, you are the king of the restorers!
I love your restorations. Yes, there are other TH-cam channels that do similar things but you are the best. There's something so wonderfully satisfying watching you do all that work and, seeing the incredible results afterwards.
Good morning Chip! Thanks for the video. Have a great day! 🍻👍
Good morning! Thanks for sticking with my channel! Have a great day Bill Mulholland!
@@ChipChannelRestorations always bud 👍👍
I really enjoy watching your videos-no background music. Just the sound of you working your magic.
Rebuilding memories bro.
Took me back 40 plus years now.
Thank you for uploading.
Memory lane looked the same as ever.
I recently spent quite a bit of time in hospital lately and these videos really helped to take my mind off things. Truly great work and I really enjoy watching all of them. Keep up the amazing work my friend 👍🏼
Masterful, methodical, mapped-out and executed with high skill and vision. CCR is the premiere channel of this genre in my humble opinion. Cheers.
I love drinking my Sunday morning coffee and watching your videos=) Thanks!!
Good morning Joey Richardson! Thank you soo much for the continued support!
I have watched almost every one of your videos and today my step dad watched this one with me, both of us were impressed with the all the hard hand work involved with the straightening of the metal, dad absolutely loved the powder painting and the way it came out great lol, and at the end, he said the before and after shots were not the same truck lol he thought it was two different trucks lol, he asked why you didn't paint the truck frame, fuel tank, fifth wheel and trailer sub frame in black, ( Dad is a retired truck driver) I told him that is the way it came from the Tonka factory, all in all, my dad approves of the new look, and throughout the video he kept talking about the toys he had when he was a kid way back when, Dad is 83 and he has advanced Alzheimer's with a bit of dementia and keeping him going is a ongoing challenge, thanks for sharing Chip Channel and we're looking forward to your next video
As a truck driver myself. I was thinking the same thing, about the fifth wheel
I had the same truck! I let a friend play with it....... he left it out in the driveway and his dad ran over the cab crushing it! Dad offered to replace it but instead he gave me his son's damaged Tonka mixer with the promise he would make a tandem tractor out of it....... he did and he helped me sand off the yellow painted trailer and paint it red like the converted tractor! I had the only Turbine cab tandem axle bottom dump in local existence! 1970 Los Angeles CA!
That poor rig needed "metal clearsil", and it did wonders! It really needed two coats of primer. Love that coat of yellow!
I like the fact that you don't waste effort and know when to get new pieces! Now your sheep can open thier own construction company!
Ha, yup, cleared it right up! haha Those sheep are going to have a huge business pretty soon. Thanks again for watching Annette Malaski!
@@ChipChannelRestorations That project was huge, with welding and JB weld filler,That works well with the powder, polishing the windshield,lots of labor
Except that one cyclops sheep....horrible depth perception.
@@ChipChannelRestorations llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Toys back then were big and tough , thank you for bringing them back to life , the good life.
That was an awesome restoration. You did an incredible job Chip. The rig looks incredible. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for putting them out there for us.
All I can say is WOW!!! Just another incredible restoration. From the master Chip!
Thanks again Ruth M Tumolo!
The longer the video,the more it is satisfying
Thanks Artorias of the Abyss!! I always worry about the video length, I'm getting more comfortable with the longer videos, People can then skip through what they want to. Thanks again for watching!
@@ChipChannelRestorations Always here to watch your videos 😁
You almost lost me with the extended cameo of the nightmare with 8 legs, but after I opened my eyes, I watched you make magic. And it is magic. Not only do you turn rust into a wonderful toy, but you bring back memories of childhood. I never had many of these toys, but I had a truck and it's trailer that I loved. Still have the truck some 40+ years later. And, of course, LONG LIVE THE CYCLOPEEP! Thank you!
I love watching your videos and how you restore things and bring them back to life.
Interesting on how they got in such a state in the first place.
This restore was awesome! Arguably your best one yet ( that I have sent anyways).
Love to see old toy cars, trucks, etc. Being restored to new. Brings back many great memories. Thanks so much for doing these restorations.
Thank you soo much Colleen Quinlan!

Fantastic video, every time I watch your restorations, it brings me back to playing with the Tonka trucks at full speed on our driveway. Great life, great fun.
Wow… A Tonka Bottom Dump! Judging by the amount of rust on that thing, it must have been sitting outside in someone’s yard for a long time before you ended up getting it and restoring it. You made it look like it was just assembled in the factory! Nice job!
There are some channels on TH-cam that deal with fake restoration. But on this channel they really restore toys. Great job
an impressive assortment of tools and equipment, and the skills to use them. TWO thumbs up!
I'm a 52yr. Old guy. I remember as a kid I had a few of the of mostly Metal Tonka Trucks. I wish I still had them. 😔
As always outstanding!! I'm sure this looks better now than when it was first made.
What amazes me besides your Steller skills is that there is a product and a tool for everything, really enjoy your videos!
Always knocking it out of the park ! Its so satisfying watching you take a rusty crusty Tonka truck and turning it into a beautiful toy
Beautiful transformation!! What a work of love and appreciation!!
You killed it,one of your best pieces!!!
Super awesome! I love the sand blasting the most, I could watch that for hours.
I was really looking forward to you filling the dump tank with sand and then dumping it.... that would've been so satisfactory!
You always do such nice work! I enjoy watching the restoration process as well as Beaker welcoming each item to the collection.
Absolutely beautiful, looks like a brand new truck like you just bought from a toy store.
I son had a 5th wheeler with the camper, don’t recall if it was a Tonga. But all3 of my son’s did have Tonga trucks and cars to play with when younger. Thank you for restoring these munched loved toys.
This one is one of my favorites, besides the Green Giant. Nothing brings back more memories then the Tonka Yellow. Well done
The UV process gets me every time with how good they come out after. Another great restoration. Keep up the great content.
These have got to be some of the most relaxing and satisfying videos I have ever seen!.. You are an artist!
Nicely done. I love your collection, and as you pan over it, I find myself looking for my favorites. Keep up the wonderful work. And thanks for sharing Beaker with us all.
Chip,that was an extra big one today. At lest it didn’t have too many things to replace no big dents. I really enjoy my time with you😊. Take care and God bless you
Outstanding. Looks just like it did when my brother got one for Christmas in 1969
Awesome restoration job Chip! The Bottom dump looks amazing!! I love watching your videos
Glad you like them T Eee! Thanks soo much for watching!
Probably one of the more complicated disassemblies/assemblies I’ve watched you do.
Grt8 job Chip ... Wow that yellow really pops makes me want to play in the dirt under my childhood home's porch ... thx 4 the memories.
Wow,that was a rough one. Awesome job.❤️
Thanks again Loretta Taylor!! 🤗
Готовы
The spider was my favorite part what a fine looking critter. The tractor looks amazing
Nice looking spider for sure! Thanks soo much Hamadanners!
Beautiful! The sheep climbing all over the heap, especially the one with the hat, adds just the right touch!👍😂
The 2nd dose of sandblasting at 49+ was a real treat. Many thanks.
Its amazing that you take a old toy and make it brand new good on you. I did notice your table grinder tool rest have a gap more than 1/8 not a good idea, I lost a quarter of my thumb because of that. Looking forward for more videos be safe Cheers.
ouch that sounded painful
Just amazing work..truly an artist,I would not have the patients but the end results are spectacular 👌
Bravo! Bravo, Sir!! Beautiful restoration. Perhaps my favorite of your work! Well done, and thank you!
Your talents are mesmerizing, you refrain from saying a word but I find myself glued to watching. You are amazing, only thing that would make it better is if I could place my adoration to a face. Thank you
We love watching your videos! Looking forward to many more!
Thanks so much Antoinette McQuinney!
Beautiful job as always Chip!
Thank you soo much Earl's Repair & Restore! Really enjoyed that Nylint Bronco you just restored!
Love the bright yellow and black colour scheme.I could understand why you assembled this Tonka truck prior to final yellow and black powder coating.Your attention to detail shows in how you restore this beauty.👍🙏
Your patience is very apparent in this restoration. Well done.
The before/after is really impressive
Glad you enjoyed it Geo2cv!! Thanks for watching!
@@ChipChannelRestorations why did you change the cab?
Great work 👍🏻
Thank you so much Oktay Dugen! 😀
This Kiwami Japan vibes gets me a new like for this channel, asmr, nice takes and bizzarre sheeps on the picture.
This is gold
This was nothing short of incredible. Beautiful paint and bright work. 😳👍😁
I love your restorations. My boys had Tonka toys when they were young. They were very well made out of quality materials. I wonder how many of todays toys will still be around in fifty years time and be be worth restoring? It's great that you can still get parts. Thanks for your very interesting videos and I love Breaker.
That's when everything was made in the U.S.A. and then greed came in and they had stuff made in China,Mexico and every country where they pay their workers next to nothing! And so these pieces of crap greedy individuals pay other countries next to nothing and have it shipped to United States and sale it for more than it's worth and then people wonder why there's no jobs in the states?
Gehe
Absolutely amazing! Spectacular! Stupendous!
Many thanks Celeste Lackay!

As a young kid I played with Tonka all other toys distroyed but Tonka last every one of them.
There was a commercial about an elephant could stand on your toys and even that it servived. 😂🐘
Nice restauration worth it.
This has alot of sandblasting and i love it! You should make a compliation video of just the sandblasting parts of a bunch of your resto vids.
I really enjoyed watching this restoration, some seriously outstanding work here. Thank you for posting this!
Fantastic! Absolutely loved the sandblasting parts. I find it soothing but at the same time can’t wait to what is under all that rust. Are there holes and if so how big or how much filler to use. While watching I have often said in my head….missed a spot! 😊 Thank you for leaving in that much sandblasting. Have a great day. Cheers!😊🇨🇦
I love the sheep, especially the little one with one big eye!
All the tonka toys bring back so many memories. The restoration you do is awesome they look like new. Thank you for the memories and the restoration video's. 😀🇨🇦
Loooove the long format Sunday morning episodes. This is pure art. Great work man.
Boy the spiders and pitting sure got to that one, beautifully done, that was the most sandblasting I ever seen you do. That is quite a collection of finished product you have going there, well done.
Love seeing utility vehicles with whitewall tires. If only we lived in such a world...
Love sitting mesmerised to your restoration work. Like the info to say what you're actually doing. I wouldn't have a clue how to do this! These old toys deserve a second chance,! Keep the videos coming!
This time you outdid yourself! Amazing restoration, your work is magic, I know it takes hours of long and hard work (and injuries too) but anyway it feels like magic! Excellent!
Beautiful job 👌
Would I dare say that I still like 6 wheeled Winnebagos much better? I was thinking of it would be great, if I ever owned one of those vehicles.
What a beautiful restoration. You are a true artist. So amazing. These toys are worth all the work you put into them.
I just thought that was cutest thing when he had a hard time winching the old truck up!
Love watching your channel! Amazing restoration! I always look forward to your next video...quite relaxing too! 🚙🚛🚑😊
Thank you very much hellsbelle59!
Awesome job !!!!!!
Thanks again Robert Kreiling!
Sometimes the mistakes we make add to the fun and learning experience. Don't feel too badly! This ended up amazing, as usual. ♥
Не перестаю восхищаться вашей работе, великолепно!!!

I remember playing with this one as a kid, glad to see it get a new lease on life.
Love it when you put them on the tow truck at the start haha
Muy hermoso tu trabajo 👍
Thank you!
An idea you might try so that you don't need to "crimp" the axle support might be to put a piece of plastic tubing over the pivot. Tubing like this might be available from those little balloons at the che checkout at your dollar type stores. These balloons are very small, and don't have helium in them. Another source for plastic tube would be a shoe store as these are used inside the shoes to keep the shape.
Awesome idea Bryant Fry! I'm going to try this! Thanks soo much for watching!
heat shrink would work to i guess

Once they played with these toys, then they grew up, the toy was forgotten ... And now they give it a new life! Nice to see a master at work! Good luck to you! Greetings from Siberia, there are your viewers here too :)
AMAZING. Belongs in a museum. Great video 2.
That was a very complicated disassembly, repair and reassembly before heading to the paint shop! Superb skills and great editing.
Great result!
Do you think Beaker might be angling for a pay rise? Maybe she would like more treats?
