We've done the same throughout the year. Some of the same trucks in their original boxes. The grandson loves them, though he's broken some parts. The best thing about those trucks is how they carry cars and motorcycles, have working doors and ladders, lights and sirens.

They've been around a long time. Remember us boys getting these [probably] back in the '60s.

These trucks were remarkably well made. The plastic used was hard and the small pieces can be easily broken by kids who drive them hard. They do like the ramps in the back for loading unloading cars.

Many of these were originally shipped with batteries installed. Folks pulling them out of perfect condition boxes have been dismayed to find 30-40 year old leaking batteries.

Megalodon,,Hi thanks for stopping again,it’s really cool that we can still get these even though the H.stations are closed.yes indeed the kids love to push these hard often having them flying off a table,I hope this season brings you and yours much joy and stay safe because I think that you will find that elusive pot of gold soon...

My hubs is a truck driver and has been for 35 years. He's collected a few of the trucks from the company he works for (had to do it times 2 as that is what the daughters both wanted). So when we pass on they each have their own trucks for future grand children to play with. That is very cool on your trucks !! Thanks for sharing with us out here in cyberland !!!

Cassews..thanks for stopping and for the privilege of your time,,Yes indeed it was so cool to try to get one every year but I missed out some years because they were sold out,Nevertheless the ones I got I still enjoy putting batteries in and starting them up,Try not to put them in the attic or in a cold environment as the tires will split and the white paint will turn a yellow color..I drove to my daughters house today and dropped these off and will bring another fleet to her house next week,,Wishing you and yours a joyous holiday season,,

That is so cool Bill! What a great idea. It will stimulate the love for history.

Grandchildren Hell? What about me? I’ll never be able to look at a tonka truck with a straight face. That is an all new brand to me. I would call them models instead of toys like the ones for sale at the JohnDeere store. The one I looked up on www had 75? lights. I have tried to gift a few toys over the years that made obnoxious sounds but these rigs sound real. I got on the mailing list just to find out how much they cost.?.
All I have is time BillB. When I get to use it on someone with your spirit, that gentile, caring and appreciative soul. It is the definition of how “it” flys past. It is what we all are looking for and need a lot more of.
Thank you for that.
