1963 Tonka Rusty Suburban Pumper Fire Truck Restoration

I purchased this Rusty 1963 Tonka Suburban Pumper Fire Truck March of 2020 on eBay. It was missing many pieces and externally looked like it was in ok shape until you started looking closely. This truck was super rusty and needed help badly. During disassembly you could see just how bad this little truck was. It took several coats of filler primer to smooth out the pits for a clean top coat. Many of the parts were badly pitted. After finding the missing parts this truck went back together very well. It was definitely a bigger project than I expected looking at it. Overall I was super happy with how it came out. A big shout out to my favorite cousin that helped me with the ending scene she is the best, all the rest of my cousins are lame ; ) Thank you for watching! Want to send Chip Channel something?
