1960s Stepside Tonka Pickup Truck Restoration | Holiday Episode

This 1960s stepside Tonka pickup truck restoration episode has got to be the best time I've had restoring an item. This restoration takes the colors of the holiday season and brings them to life through a 1965 stepside Chevy Tonka Pickup truck. This truck was in extremely bad shape when I bought it. This truck comes from Iowa and had been sitting in someones backyard for years. I specifically asked them to send me the truck as show in the pictures. Lets just say the way it was sent was pretty darn close to how looked in the pictures. I was really happy with the final reveal. The Christmas edition of the truck was just a few props I bought at the local hobby lobby. The additions on the truck come off. They are just taped on with scotch tape.
