1930's Wyandotte Lighted Dump Truck Restoration Time Lapse
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 มี.ค. 2020
- I picked up this 1930's Wyandotte lighted dump truck from a local antique shop. It was in pretty rough shape. Missing two wheels, the head lights were broken, the battery contact bar was missing for the headlights. The battery retainer spring was missing as well as the front bumper. The entire truck was rusted and needed help.
I started by grinding off the peened side of the axles to allow removal. Once the axles and wheels were removed, I continued by removing the dump bed and cab. Disassembled the cab and proceeded to the sandblaster. The paint and rust came off very quickly and showed that the overall condition of the metal itself was in great shape. Off camera I straightened a few parts including the dump bed tail gate, the front fenders, the mounting tabs for the cab and box. I then worked with the switch which was completely frozen. I didn’t want to remove it from the chassis because I have no way of replicating the type of rivet that was originally used. Moving onto the axles where cleaned up on the bench grinder and then using a drill with sandpaper until I got the desired finish. They were a little more pitted than I cared for, but I decided to use them anyway. The grille was then cleaned with the wire brush on the bench grinder and then nickel plated and buffed. Now that all parts were clean it was time to start painting. All parts were coated once and then a second coat after 10 minutes. Allowed to dry for 24 hours to completely cure. Prior to assembly I laid our all parts for this unit which included several reproduction parts, the wheels were replaced due to missing two and the two that were with the truck were not usable. The front bumper, headlight contact bar, and battery spring were all missing, reproduction parts were used for these. Reassembly to the unit when very smoothly outside of slipping off the tab for the dump bed mount and scuffing the bed paint. After reassembly and installing the D cell battery I found that the switch contact had to be bent to make correct contact. Once it made correct contact it then would not stay connected. To fix this I had to crimp the switch down slightly to provide enough friction. Overall, I was extremely happy with how the truck came out.
Things to note,
There should be a spring under the dump bed. The original was broken, and I have been unable to find a reproduction spring. I may play around with building one myself later. Also, I have not locked the axle shafts onto the wheels yet. I currently am trying to figure out the best way to do this.

It's so interesting to watch your videos as you evolve from rattle-cans to powder coating. Your work is great and the improvements are fantastic! Keep up the videos!
It is fun to see how much you have progressed. I began watching newer videos of yours. Going back to this one showed me just how much work you have put into becoming a master restorer.
I started watching basically at the end of the series and finished with this video, wired watching your I initial ways of working on the toys enjoyed everyone and have watched everyone thanks
Thanks soo much! I've definitely came a long ways since my first post! I'm still trying to upgrade quality with each and every video, this year my goal is to upgrade my intro scene and exit scene as well as some editing changes. Overall I just want to continue to improve my craft. Thank you for watching!
I like watching your show o
Kids are really ruff with there trucks
What do you use on your sprayer some nut shells
I just saw your Gambles restoration and wanted to go back and see if you had restored a Jeep. I found that, actually I have already watched all of your videos but I just wanted to reminisce a bit. You sure have come a long way in your restoration process Chip. I'm very happy for all your achievements and upgrades. Give kitty a scratch on the ears for me. This Wyandotte Truck must have cost a pretty back in the 30's to buy for a child. Fancy with lights that go off and on.
Nice restoration of an old truck with a classis green color 💚
Another GREAT channel is Rescue & Restore
São Paulo - Brazil : So simple and so wonderful
it's a trip back in time to watch your older videos. (sorry, using google translator).
Have watched all your video's previously, then they stopped. 😢 So revisiting them all again. Would love to see some new ones. A big hello from England. ❤
What a cool old toy. I would never have expected a toy truck from the 1930s to have working lights. A simple model but full of character.👍
Thanks for watching! Check out my newer videos for a better video quality. This was my first one. I was amazed that they had toys like this in the 30's
You've come along way with your restorations. Congrats, you're doing a great job!!
The sand blasting is the most satisfying part of these videos!👌🏻
Ikr 😆 they're so calming 👍🏼👍🏼😆💙💙
Какой старенький, почти что столетний, пенсионер! Аж сердце замирало, когда его разбирали! 😳💕
Но Вы справились с работой на отлично! МОЛОДЕЧИК!
🧡👍💥
Love watching your videos. I find them soothing. Didn't notice you testing the paint for lead.
What a very beautiful restored electric truck of the 1930's. Absolutely amazing restoration work, especially with just a spray can. I love it.
~Kevin
Thank you!!
When you get scuff marks from re- setting the tabs, spray some paint in the cap, use a fine artists brush to touch up the scuff marks. Keeps the restoration complete. Nice work - like your choice of projects.
I love your sandblasted. Does a very professional job
Great job with the sandblaster
Great restoration of an historic piece. Truly amazing. I like that you explain the process and the costs. Kudos.
Thank you for watching! I love the headlights on this old truck.
That green turned out pretty good color I didn't think it would work but it does Looked pretty cool at night too
Thank you for restoring these classics. I feel bad for today's kids that don't know the joy of have the pleasure of imagining and future of building with heavy equipment due to the tech age. Great job
Thanks for watching! It's definitely a different world kids are growing up in today. I'm loving playing with these toys yet.
I won’t complain since everyone else has. It looks great and reminds me of my grandmother’s Christmas decorations. She had old red and green toy trucks. Good job. I can’t wait to see how you improve.
Thank you for the support! I really like this little truck, definitely will be part of Christmas this next year. My newer videos are much better, please take a look at them!
There needs to be a wow button for restorations like this.
Thank you so much!
So. Cool. Love. The. Work. U. Do. As. Always. Very. Nice. Truck. Brother. Lee
The fact this has lit headlights for its age just absolutely tickles me. ♥
They don't make these tin truck toys anymore...thank you for bringing back to life some of the joyful things we used to play with when we were kids....what a thrill it was for sure...especially on Christmas Time!
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching!
They could if they really wanted to
Great job. I love the headlights. Thanks for saving a piece of history.
Thank you! I love the headlights on this truck, when I found it at the antique store I was obsessed!
It's great restoration wish the kids today had toys that good and a imagination to play with them
Greatly appreciate the support!
They're too busy on the internet for toys 🤮🤮💙💙✌🏼✌🏼
@@ChipChannelRestorations you deserve it 💙💙✌🏼✌🏼👍🏼👍🏼💯💯💯😆😆
It looks damn good to be your first. I love the old trucks.
Thank you soo much! I really love the lights on this one.
dude this is butter
Thanks... I think. Haha either way thank you for watching!
Love to see the breakdown of the cost to repair the truck. You truly have to love what you do and to be honest, it shows. The restoration was very well done and the truck was brought from a piece of junk to a showroom display item. Amazed that the truck cost over $50 BEFORE you restored it. Wonder what is could sell for now? Great work!
Thank you! I greatly appreciate the support!
It is clear that the main ingredient of your restorations is love. 👍👍👍👍❤️
I like the colors. Good job.
Great restoration of a classic old toy. Excellent work!
Many thanks!
That motor sounded like it was hitting the rev limiter 😆👍
Great restoration job. Love the working headlights.
Thank you, It was one of my very first restorations and I really enjoy this truck, so do the kids.
Great work. Awesome!
Just beautiful!
Excellent work. Painting with rattle cans takes a lot of skill and experience and you made it look great
It looks awesome!
Very cool
Awsome cool dump truck👍👍
Good restoration.
I watch a video of another guy doing a restoration, defiantly not as good as you, he takes the truck apart, you completely disassemble it.
What I did see the guy had a 3D printer but you are 100% quality
Felicito a este señor de las restauraciones por lo concienzudo de su buen trabajo, espero más vídeos, un saludo
Very well done!
Glad you kept the cab green.
Thank you for watching! I really liked the original colors, the new colors aren't quite what I expected but I still love this little truck!
You have improved your process considerably since this video. Nice work!
Good job
Thank you!
You did a great job on this Marx "Rooster Comb" truck. I have restored a couple of the larger cab versions and fabricated mahogany beds, rear fenders (wheel wells the same design as the front), installed running boards, and tied off the ends of the axles with acorn or cap nuts (there are different kinds). I also went for a two-toned scheme of black fenders and green cab and I fabricated a back panel with a rear window for the cab (more solidity). Your work and your patience has paid off and the truck looks great. Best wishes and stay healthy!
Thank you soo much! I went to your profile hoping that you had videos. Sounds like you created an awesome truck!
@@ChipChannelRestorations You can email me at wkazarian@hawaiiantel.net. Also, I forgot to mention, you should always check for lead in the paint on the older toys....it's bad for your health and it's bad for the media blaster!
Beautiful restoration, thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you soo much for watching!
Awesome skills, great restoration and detailed video Chip!
Thank you soo much for watching!
I love your work! This reminds me fast forward The 1980's HESS 🚚 OIL TRUCK replica of a 1930's old time truck. However this truck is slamming better it's metal! Genius how you installed the headlamps / headlights with a battery! Grand job on this vintage model truck beauty!.🚚
Thank you! I really love this old light up truck. I do think I will eventually powder coat it a little different color.
you do very well
I really like your video
Thank you soo much!
Nice work. Piece of history saved.
Thank you!
One awsome restore
Apart from the scratch inside the trailer that is a bloody good effort well done mate
TOP Restauration
Even without powder coating, it still looks amazing.
Trabalho incrível,seu canal tornou-se uma maratona nesta quarentena, congratulações.
Abraços...from Brazil.
Thank you!
Funny that people are making such a fuss over you not using primer coating. This is his first restoration, cut the guy some slack lol.
Very nice!
It's good that I've been doing my homework.
Very cool. I saw in other comments that this was you first restore, so I won’t bust too hard you for the tool mark on the bumper tab. The restoration on the Tonka Explorer was immaculate!
Thank you! I was really wondering when someone would notice this! You're the first one. Good eye!
I wouldn’t believe it !!! It would be a miracle if he restores it in MINT
CONDITION !!! I’ll watch and see !!!
Lo máximo, increíble trabajo 😃👌
Saludos desde Perú Lambayeque 🇵🇪😊😘

Great restoration work, well done, lovely model (toy) Sometimes I'd like the old aged look just the one before the restoration.

Yo tuve varios carritos de laton de los de 6 pulgadas algunos eran de friccion, pero no los camiones. Me gustaban mucho los detalles pintados.
Nice restore. What a fun piece!
