Hey everyone and welcome back to another restoration! In today's video I am restoring a 1955 Tonka Log truck. I bought this a few months ago from a friend on Facebook. Initially I thought it looked half way decent in the pictures but once I saw it in person I realized I was way off! The body had some sericeous bends worst of all, the log trailer was completely rotted out. Someone previously painted black over the rust hiding some the damage. It was completely full of pits and took a ton of work to get right! It was also missing most of the hubcaps and the chrome work was trashed. I stripped the tractor and gave it a nice coat of primer and red powder coat. The trailer on the other hand received a coat body filler (bondo), a coat of primer, followed by another coat of spot putty. After the spot putty another round of primer then finally silver powder coat. It's not perfect and still has a few pits but it's 100X better than when I started! To finish it up, I cut up some wood dowels to match the original 9 1" diameter logs that came with it from the factory.
