    Those are very cool. I am still trying to find a 1/10 scale plastic body for my RC car. Anyone ever hear of one?

          Cool, I used to collect those things too. Had to stop myself cause I kinda ran out of places to put them and realized I went alittle overboard I guess. I must have about 15 or 20 now, not to mention a few more downstairs in peices that I never finished restoring. No pics of any original colored ones, as I'm not home right now but heres a few I worked on that I found on my Imageshack page.

          1960s gladiator pickup, its seen better days but I payed 3 bux for it.


          and heres the after, I painted it a similar green to my honcho.


          1963 gladiator wrecker repainted, no before pic but it was similar to my first pic.

          after I took that pic, I ended up finding a set of wheels/tires in almost perfect shape to replace those with.

          another 1963 (the grill was molded into the front) this one was missing a bumper and a little beat up so I made it into a sweet trail rig, haha

          I made that bumper myself out of some steel tubing, and nails. It was a bit hard to weld cause even on the lowest setting I was burning through the nails. Needless to say, it took some patience. the wheels/tires are from an old dollerstore toy car and I riveted the "lift assembly" to the original axle slots so if I ever wanted to it could be returned back to normal and youd never even now.

            My wife is gonna hate you guys very soon.

            I already collect:
            Tins, any kind; cookie tins, cigarette tins, cigar tins, etc.
            G.I.Joe stuff
            Old electronic test equipment
            Jeeps(FSJs only)
            Old boats
            Old Motorola radios and assorted gear
            And now that I have seen this thread, I feel the need to start collecting Tonka and other toy Jeeps.

            Thanks

              Flint, Krista, you guys suck. Your Rescue Jeep is sooo much cleaner than mine. Oh well....

              It's evident that you have waaay too much time on your hands, judging by those "crop" photos!!! That's something *I* would do! LOL!

                Oh well Ethan. That jeep rescue was $30 New In Box on d'bay. Abd the white jeep wrecker is near mint and it has all the little accoutraments that came with it originally. Stole that for $25.

                  Here's my collection of Tonka FSJ's. I want to thank Krista for making me start buying more of them. After camping next to her at Ouray and seeing her rescue FSJ, I was once again infected this strange disease

                          In addition to the 1:1 scale version (in my avitar), I've got a few little ones too....



                          People often aske me why I have the crusty old cement mixer in the upper right corner. I just tell them it's because it still belongs to the original owner .

                          I have one that's not in the photo, it's a red pickup that rides on the seat of my J200.

                          If anybody's interested, I have printed sheets of the little Tonka logo decals for the doors. I'll be in and out because of a HEAVY workload right now, so if you contact me and don't hear back right away, be patient.

                            I had a red dump truck version when I was a kid... and too dumb to realize what I had, I cant remember what happened to it but I'm sure it's long gone.

                              Nice collection. Is that a Graflex on top? I have a Sears Tower knock-off that looks similar to it.

                                It's a Busch Pressman that belonged to my Stepfather. I've taken quite a few photos with it. Black and white negs, color transparencies, and I have a Polaroid back for it too. It's pretty cool old camera!
