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 t
