1962 Tonka Allied Van Lines Moving Semi Truck Restoration

- I purchased this 1962 Tonka Allied Van Lines Moving Semi Truck on HiBid March of 2021. This thing was in terrible shape and obviously has lived outside most of its life. The tractor / truck body was soo faded that it didn't even look orange anymore, I was only able to verify the correct color after removing the grille and finding some paint that had not been faded. The Van body was extremely rusted and after sandblasting had many holes in the front of the body almost like it was full of water at one point in its life. I spent a ton of time filling and sanding holes as well as rough spots. I didn't get all of them, however it was way better than what it was when I started. Overall I was extremely happy with this build. It was missing a windshield, and the door handles otherwise it was super complete when I got it. The only thing I didn't like was that the van body was all welded together. Definably was a fun project, however I don't believe I will be looking for any welded body semi trucks in the future. I estimate I had 3 plus hours into sandblasting the semi body alone due to how it is constructed.

people like this can make a WW2 battlefield look like nothing happened.
We can restore metal toys, but it ain’t so easy revamping plastic (no way in hell you could sandblast plastic without destroying it!)
My family got this Allied Van Lines truck for Christmas one year. The best present we ever got. You did a brilliant job restoring it and my memories.
Ty Another great Sunday coffee and Chip Channel .🎉🎉🇺🇸
I literally clapped when you used the lighter to burn the webs. Bravo! SuPURRvisor approved!
The most satisfactory things of life: 1) SANDBLASTING. 2) eat. 3) sleep
I can just see this truck sitting proudly under some Christmas tree somewhere back in the day! Things must have ben much lighter back in the 60s' too since my van has a 15,000 GVW and this is a whole trailer truck!
Hey, I remember that truck. That company moved several families in my parents back yard throughout the mid 60’s! 💰💰💰
Reading your comment made their theme song play in my head...lol I remember too. 🤣

Chip + Beaker + Coffee = Great Sunday. Nice restore!
Congratulation chip Channel the Fábio and Rafael from Brazil. The best job and restauration.
Watched this at double speed, much more enjoyable.
Soon u will need bigger table, so many great restores 👍👍👍
Was going to say those spiders and nest were already dead, but you sent them straight to hell anyways. Beautiful restoration.
Thanks for watching! It's amazing how many spiders I keep coming across.
Am I the only one who expected the windshield to re-appear with the text "I'm OK!" ?
😳🤣🤣👍
I expected that truck to be pack with sheep. They would be good packing material. Move them and their stuff all at the same time.
And cat approved.
I expected the sheep to be moving furniture. 😄

You need to give one of your sheep vampire fangs for Halloween. Stunning restoration!
Ещё одной игрушки продлена жизнь! Супер!👍👍👍
SWEET! LOVE ME SOME ORANGE! You did a great job!
Thank you! 😊. This is my favorite color Tonka.
love watching you fix these toys
That orange really pops on this truck. Beautiful job😁👍😇
Awesome job, as always! You have a beautiful cat also..
Man I LOVE your graveyard i could look at it all day
I believe the catspector this time was mostly interested in aviation…. after a quick snack . 😂😂😂
Nice transformation from rusty spidery to blossom new. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I think he should have put the treats INSIDE the van, she could fit in it.
@@mjbirdClavdivs 🧐🧐🧐she is slightly too …. Heavy for the truck to hold her ……..
Комментарий в поддержку канала и ролика, а также труда мастера отреставрировавшего это игрушечный автобус.
What a beautiful Timeless classic. Never see those around anymore
25:52 : they look like plumbing washers. Brilliant.
wow dude!
Your video is great, I'm watching it with pleasure. It's like a documentary, thank you
I watch other similar channels, but this is my favourite because of the junkyard, the fleet of restored models and the cat. Definitley the cat.
Watching you hand sand all of those parts makes my fingers ache. Nice work Chip!!!
Lo mejor de estos vídeos es que no tienen música de fondo, el sonido es el que hacen las herramientas al trabajar , es fantástico
ASMR del bueno jajaja
Don't forget the crickets chirping somewhere nearby. 😊
@@c.j.cleveland7475 siiii se escucha sus cantos de fondo , una música de la naturaleza
@@ElTitoPablo 😊dda
Great work looks fantastic
Nothing is so satisfying as watching all your repair patches, putty marks, guidelines, etc, disappear under primer and look smooth and pristine. The best work you can do is when it doesn't look like you did any:)
My son loves watching you restore these! You’ve got a big two year old fan!
I love this site so much. If our man stopped doing the thumbs up, I would cease to watch it anymore as if always makes me chuckle.
Absolutely amazing restoration
My 3 year old son loves watching your work
Good day to you Chip Channel Restorations, I really ejoyed watching you make this 1962 Tanka look BRAND NEW again!! WOW! Your know how, skills, and the right tools for the job was AWESOME! My favorite part is always the SAND BLASTING and Your HUMOR! I'm an old 1963 model myself hahaha. Have a great day and Thank you for your SUPER FUN CREATIVE VIDEOS! EXCELLENT JOB!
Shine a light through the back of the trailer and make star patterns on the wall as in a planetarium.
Tell me I'm not the only one that squints his eyes and holds his breath, even chokes at times, when he is using the sand blaster. Like the sand is going to come out of the screen 😂😂😂
Glad to see someone with a patient, steady hand in the media blaster
I love to watch craftsmen in action.
I always look forward to seeing that pretty cat at the end of the video
Really enjoyed this restoration. I had one of these as a child 60+ years ago. Brought back good memories. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!
@@ChipChannelRestorations hey, what is the purpose of electroplating?
I had one too! Mine had a u.s highway sign with a #1 on it ,next generation, squared off trailer and restyled truck!
I don't know what's more adorable. The restored toy car or petting your cat. Amazing video once again.
Another awesome restoration. Great looking rig. Nicely done. 💕😻💕😊💕 Love seeing Beaker. Gorgeous Kitty 😺
you not only restore toys. you restore memories as well.
I'm always amazed at the quality of the metal underneath the paint. The term built "Tonka Tough" was certainly true. But not just Tonka. Back in the day these toys were built to be used. Played with hard and they could take a real pounding. It's such a pity the same quality isn't used nowadays. Great restoration fella. Thanks for sharing 🙂
So true. Toys aren't built like they use to be.
Big job = longer video. Keep up the good work!
Lovely restoration…..needs more cat and sheep though!!
The Allied truck turned out beautiful. Nice work.
Yes another super great restoration. With hi Quality video illustration. This is a great channel
You do a good job on restoring them
I had one like this when I was a kid, Amazing Job !!!
I can’t get over how satisfying it is to watch sandblasting, I just can’t get enough of it!!!
First time I've ever seen anybody use JB Weld as body filler!! 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
Time to run to Whole Foods in search of pumpkin pie.... That is one darn fine restoration!!
Very nice job… lot of work on that restored piece for sure…
Very wonderful work my friend, as long as you are a fountain of creativity, you accept my traffic and my respect for you
Yeech! Spider's freak me out too. That truck was clearly sitting in someone's basement for some time. Beautiful restoration as always.
Cómo siempre un excelente trabajo! Y muchos grillos también ja
Hands down my favorite video by you so far.
Chip, you just made my Sunday. Sitting here with a great cup of coffee and watching your video. Thank you! Give cuddles to the cat inspector for me.
i miss the sheep antics, please continue to do them they are so funny. great work as usual
Wow what a glorious Sunday! A Chip video and eagles football!!! Thank you. Growing up in the seventies girls weren’t supposed to like trucks. I secretly envied my brothers playing in the dirt and sand with their tonka trucks while I played with my sister and paper dolls. Yuck! You are an incredible artist.
You know I've watched a few episodes now, and I always see the before footage and think, "that's just a mess." But they always look so nice when your done. Satisfying everytime. 🥰😉♥️♥️
Yay!!! Another Chip Channel restoration! I'm one minute into watching it and I've already hit the "like" button. That's how much I love Chip Channel videos.
It hasn't been a minute an I already got the like button😁

High quality restoration well done
Can you imagine getting up on Christmas morning as a kid and seeing that under the tree! Such a cool truck!
Chip nice job on this restoration. This is my favorite one yet. Good way to spend Sunday. Thanks Chip for taking us along. Peace Brother. Until the next.
Beautiful work!
I wouldn’t be surprised if Allied Van Lines offered to purchase it.
This one started off in remarkably good shape all things considered. The trailer doors were still there, the little headlight nubbies weren't discolored... Although the trailer was awfully thin... Great job as always!
That orange 🍊 looks amazing!
Wow this one is great! I could've used it to move into my new place back in August WOW!
Beautiful restoration you are the man for this kind of job
Beautiful job. Regards from Cairo,Egypt.
My friend, you took us back to childhood days. You are respectful and professional. Thank you very much
That is the correct and only way to get rid of spiders thank u very much
I am looking forward to that white jeep!
Yeah ! Beautiful restoration 😃🙌
I would like to thank you for not playing obnoxious music during your videos. These are great and I thoroughly enjoy watching them.
Beautiful moving rig...great work‼️👍👍
U do great work on re storing those old toys.
I would love repairing these old toys and giving them to children. Especially children that have struggling parents that can't afford to get their kids toys
Thank you for posting.
I love the smell of burning spiders in the morning. Smells like victory.
Haha, just got this nightmare vision now of its 60ft tall bigger brother coming to some own back with a flame thrower! Sleep well tonight on that thought! lol
I need the sheep in the intro again. I get so disappointed when I don't see them. But a great video as always.
Любит свою киску,всегда её показывает, и какой красивый парк машинок,сияют всеми цветами радуги-красота.
Your kitty Kat at the end of the videos is a very nice touch.
Magnificent treasure! You need some 3D designed/printed furniture in the same scale.
I love watching you turn back time and bringing so beautifully back to life the toys I played with as a kid!
The great passion you have for these restorations really shows in the paint finish.
Another classic model save from the recycling!
And your cohosts, The Sheep and Beaker! Thank you!
Thank you very much! and Thanks for watching!
?!!

I had these toys back in the 60s and 70s OMG.
You saved it in the nick of time!
In June of 1963, My family moved from Illinois to California - all of our furniture and posessions
were loaded into a giant orange Moving Van. As it drove away and we climbed into the family
car to begin the long cross country drive, I can still remember the Mallard Duck Logo on the
side of the Allied Van Lines truck.
A beautiful restoration, like all of your work, it is of Museum quality and will hopefully preserve
the memory of when the finest of everything, especially toys, were Made In USA !
Wow what a transformation! That powder orange is so gorgeous!!
i feel bad for old decals that are still trying to convey their messages and have to be sacrificed. Amazing the care that was used to apply them.
Man, they really spared to expense on them details for this one! It got ALL the decals!
I'm addicted to Tonka's and now your channel - well done!!
Great restoration!
Takes time and patience to restore theses toys!
I have neither, that's why I watch these videos!
Thanks again for sharing your talent with us!
The restoration work you did on the cat was amazing. He looks just like my cat Billy.
This videos are so satisfying that I fall in sleep .
