1960 Tonka Sanitary System Garbage Truck Restoration

I purchased this 1960 Tonka Sanitary System Garbage Truck on eBay November of 2020. It was in obvious need of restoration. I was super happy when it arrived and a little surprised at how fast the action of the dump arms worked. In today's world this toy would have been recalled almost immediately do to the danger of it. This one took a little longer than normal and I was thrilled with how well it turned out.
