Tonka trucks
I stumbled onto an online auction the other night that was local to me that had a load of hotwheels, diecast, models and other stuff. Most of it went for a lot more than I was willing to spend but one lot that caught my eye as it came up for closing was a table full of old metal Tonka toys and other stuff. I increased the existing bid by $1 and actually won the table full for less than what a Happy Meal cost now. The 55 BelAir diecast was worth well more than what I paid for the lot.
I am going to try my luck and taking them apart, one at a time, bead blast and then see if I can find some Tonka yellow powder so I can powdercoat them. I can make up all new decals for them inhouse so that is not an issue. This will be a spare time project but kinda looking forward to it. They sure bring back the good ole day memories. .
