Where else can you find this?? This is 01/01 and will not and cannot be made again!
This is a one-of-a-kind custom Tonka truck! The body is a real vintage Tonka toy truck from the mid 60's. When these were produced back then, they actually used STEEL for the fame and body of the car. NOTHING is made of steel these days! especially not kids toys. This thing is over 50 years old! A classic toy and truck with a vintage appeal that has been given a modified, modern touch. A perfect combination of vintage and custom steel that creates something very unique and rare. An excellent gift for people that have everything because it's IMPOSSIBLE that they have one of these!
Modifications:
- The truck was lowered
- The rims are welded, cut, shaped and polished by hand and attached to the frame underside. If you look closely, you will notice a brake disk behind the rims!
- The bed of the truck was tubbed to accommodate the larger wheels and tires.
- The middle section of the grill was cut out and converted to a stainless steel mesh grill.
- Dual oval-shaped exhaust was made from stainless steel and mounted under the rear bumper
- Lastly, (my favorite detail) tires were cut from a rubber radiator hose the exact size of the rims, then rounded and smoothed a bit for added detail.
The paint and rust of the body are completely original and natural - rust detail that can only come naturally from over 50 years of play and weathering! It still has its "old soul" and classic vintage look but with a modern custom twist.The paint and rust of the body are completely original and natural.

If you own this, you have something no one else does on the planet! These old Tonka trucks are hard enough to find by themselves let alone getting one that has been custom modified! A great little piece of history from a better time and era.
It is 14 inches in total length
