Dumpster diving
« on: May 26, 2007, 06:46:01 pm »
Did some dumpster diving at the job we are on and scored these Tonka trucks along with a bunch of other nice stuff.





Not sure what year they are but they look like 58 - 59 Fords. I am guessing between 58 and early 60s.

Hey that's pretty awesome, my grandpa was a garbage man when I was a kid and he was always bringing toys home that people threw out.

Figured out last night the tan one is a 59 and the others are 58s. Found the correct paint color, tailgates with chains, replacement windshields, the correct stickers etc. for the trucks. Still haven't found a tail gate or plow for the dump, tires for the shovel, haven't found anything at all on the grader. Would like to find a mold board for that.
