Hey everyone and welcome back to another restoration! In today's video I am restoring a 1956 Tonka Side Dump Truck with a snow plow. I bought this truck as a box of loose parts without the plow and plow frame. Fortunately I was able to find another original plow and purchase a reproduction plow frame. This was a challenge for sure. I've never worked on a tonka body with so many parts! Enjoy!

I had a three piece set of these. This truck, and then a tandem dump truck and a road grader. Wore holes in my pants playing in dirt. Thanks for sharing.
STUPENDOUS 👌👌
You chose a very beautiful color 👍👍👍
Just like brand new great job!!
A very nice restoration from A to Z 👍🏻👍🏻
These videos are always super satisfying lol
Great video sir! 😎👍🏻
Fantastic job!!!
A most excellent restoration job on this truck. Another childhood toy brought back to life.
Great work mate looks Fantastic
I wish they made toys like that..way better the toys they got out now!!
Very cool 👍 I love it. Turned out great
Fantastic Restoration Joe. Absolutely love it!
Thanks man!
Nice piece of workmanship on this shelf toy.👍👍😁🇨🇱🇺🇸
Stunning joe credit to you good workmanship....
Beautiful job as always. I would have tried to leave the snowplow blade with its original worn look, because that is how they usually look in real life. I get it, this was a full restore. You had to do it right. It is very nice, but the only place you ever see a shiny nice snow plow is at the tractor dealership.
Exactly the kind of ASMR I needed. Thank you! Especially liked the polished nickel plated hub caps this time.
Thanks Paul! I've been experimenting with some new processes!
TGIF. Been waiting all week for another of your great restorations. Great job as aways
Thanks! Hoping to have the next video out next week as well!
Great Video Joe DIY!!
Love it, bringing a piece of nostalgia back to life, whole lot of hand work involved, does look brilliant, thanks for sharing
Another great restoration!
Beautiful color joe
I had one just like this years ago. Modded it to be a full suspension realistic proportion drive train with some Tamiya parts. I think i still have it somewhere in my attic. Memory flashback nostalgia hit. :))
That sounds like a fun project!
Great!!! 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Got to love that sand blasting it does a great job stripping off all the old paint with no damage to the metal. Awesome videos keep them coming 😎
Excellent 🎥
Looks great well done.
Thank you very much!
I understand that Tonka has used the chrome wheel covers since their beginning, but does anyone prefer just the black wheels on some of the work trucks? Just curious if I'm the only one...
I like them too. And white steel wheels on commercial trucks. I've done a few with white ones.
Great Work as always!!👍
Awesome restoration Joe. Looks spectacular. Great job. 💕😊💕🇺🇸
😉agreed
Awesome joe thanks
Great
It looks great and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!!!!
Enjoyed the video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Great 😊
That looks like some little boy gave that truck plenty of sand box time, dreaming of the day he could "drive the big one." That was a pretty complex bed, more engineering in that than could be expected in todays toys.
Cool resto. What are you going to put the twin carb manifold on? That would be Interesting too.
Was going to ask the exact same question.
31 Model A I'm building. I'm have to put up a video when it's done.
Ficou lindo, Joe. 😍😍😍
After seeing all the extra parts and assembly labor I can see why I never got one as a kid. Brautiful job, beautiful truck. Looks so much like the Minnesota Highway Department (pre MNDOT) snowplows of the era.
Hermoso y de Lujo megusta!!! Destreza!! Y aprendo.
Increíble trabajo.
Nice resto, but I gotta say I dug the original patina on this one. Had a nice rat rod vibe... 😄
The best 😎👏👏👏👏
great
A+👍!
It turned out pretty nice sir it looks like new WOW it's beautiful to 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

ficou muito legal
Really nice resto. Do you heat your retainer tabs so they don't break off when bending back over?
Nope, just bend them. They tend to weaken so you really don't want to have to rebend them once they're rebent.
Is the pcs 1000 a good powder coating gun or would you recommend something different?
Nice job. Is that a hotrod downdraft intake for a model A on the bench ?
nailed it!
Nice
I've wondered through many of your videos why you don't strip the paint before sandblasting. The old paint only contaminates the substrate in your machine and slow down the process...
Tonka didn't make the plow until 1957, which probably explains why it was missing from this one when you got it. Looks good, regardless though.
i wanna play with it. push sand and dirt around in the sand box

You should merge with chip channel bc your formats are identical.
Couldn't tell the diff on who l'm watching.
