Turning a $40 Truck into $200 Truck Restoration.

Welcome to my restoration channel. In this restoration video, I restore a turner dump truck. From what I can tell, this was manufactured in the 1920s to 1940s(If you know when this was made , please let me know in the comments). My dad bought this from an old farm auction (Thanks #1 Dad!). If you enjoy the restoration, consider subscribing to the channel and leaving a like. It would be much appreciated.


THE RESTORATION PROCESS

This restoration project was quite old, so I started with a paint lead test (there was not led in the paint). I dismantled the truck and sand blasted the rust and vintage paint from the metal body and chassis. Some of the parts had been bent from over the years, so I used a vise and other tools to straighten things back out. The metal also had a lot of pitting, so I used a high temp standing filler to fill parts that were going to be powder coated. I powder coated the parts with primer and then the color. As you can see in the video, many parts were missing, but we were able to order new parts and also make new axles. The axle that was with the truck was bent, so I made three new ones out of a heavier steel. I nickel plated parts to help prevent rust. I put the truck back together, and I must say this is probably my favorite restoration I have done so far!
