6 X Tonka
 
Doing some messing around with Diffusers rig. Roller build is all his work. I decided to try and put the old Tonka to use.Been looking for a build to use it on. Now I need to figure out what to do with the rear portion of the rig...

I have been searching the flea market, thrift stores and local garage sales for the right pressed steel body to use for a build. I wanna hear the metal scrape as I crawl..haha.

Coolest wrecker I've seen yet! Every 3 to 8 year old (us 41 year olds too)in the sandbox will be jealous of this one!

I love it. I have a chevron tonka tow truck still in the box. Ever time I look at that box it calls to me.
Now that you are doing one mine can stop calling.
