That is just too cool. I just saw one of them on craigslist and thought of doing exactly that to it!

Re: Tonka
I like everything but the Tonka name.Tonka made Fords anyway.I`m sure the drivetrain is medium duty GM.It`s just a medium duty with a pickup bed.

Turn that into a 4x4 and that truck would really rock.

Re: Tonka
I'm not a huge fan of the Tonka. I like it, but think that is a fairly sizable truck to be being pushed by a 350?

Re: Tonka
10 grand for a yellow truck with old blue seats out of some 80’s Japanese car and no carpet or rubber mat? Ah, NO…
Other than those minor details, it is pretty cool.

One thing's for sure, you would get a little respect from other drivers when you're out on the road.

Re: Tonka
I`d take that truck and put bright trim on the front,CST or Cheyenne trim,tilt/ac/buckets,stainless mirrors,chrome Budds,factory p/u color...
It looks like the bed is widened.A cool piece of work.I like it better than the Fleetsides I`ve seen.
