The main reason i love this channel is because he doesn't restore what he just destroyed.Other channels just beat up their old toys just so we can watch them restore again,while they are good at what they're doing and as fun as watching them are,knowing they purposefully wrecked what is already good just doesn't feel right for me.

My '61 set , original paint, is a little darker blue. The robin egg color on this one looks like the '62-64 camper set or the '62 Jet delivery truck. I guess they made 2 colors. Great job.

You did a way better job than other restoration channels but I’m not gonna lie. The sudden loud music can get annoying especially when using headphones. Most people who watch these type of videos are trying to relax and I’m guessing the loud music is why it’s getting some dislikes because everything else about this video is perfect. Regardless, I’m subscribing to see more of your future work. Great job!

I thought for sure that the chrome grill and bumper were goners because of the rust. But like the other parts you salvaged them and it all looks good as new. I also like the extras you showed us at the end. Did the outboard motors and figures come with pickup and trailer, or did you make them?

Where do you find the new parts for these? I have the same basic truck, the truck with cattle panels on top of the bed sides, and a Tonka Volkswagen Bug to restore for my Grandson. The VW Bug my Grandparents got me in '68-70 and only allowed me to play with it. Then in '86 after they passed away I inherited it. Time for my grandson to have it, with a little brass tag on the bottom showing our 3 names and room for more.
