Got these three nice Tonka vehicles, 1960-70ish??? in a yard sale for $3 each. I learned that these toys are hard to find and those offered online are just in fair to good condition, yet highly priced. Glad to have found them in such a great condition! :headbang:

Be advised that there are serious Tonka collectors and restorers out there. Even just a part like the frame of a car can be sold online.
 
How comes the pic of the truck you posted on Tnet looks good an the pic on Ebay looks really rusted?

Oh no, the Ebay ones are not my toys. Those are just examples of the same toys offered in Ebay as a comparison of condition and price. Thanks for looking.
