1967 Tonka Gas Turbine Cab Bottom Dump Semi Truck and Trailer Restoration Number 910

Video Description

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. Need Parts??? Check out Gasoline Alley Toys!
