TootsieToy Truck (029)

On the bench today is a 1961 TootsieToy. Originally it had a red plastic camper shell on the back with a boat on top of that and pulled a trailer with a little Indie race car on it. It was tough researching this one online. I found Chevy. A few collector sites called it an El Camino. If you know more, please comment below. All I know is I love these TootsieToys and I had a box full of them when I was a kid. I’m sentimental. What can I say? I’ve been wanting to do a custom rat rod car, but this one starts out already looking that way, so that plan will have to wait. I think less is more when it comes to TootsieToys. Fresh paint and some minor details are coming. I’m going to try soaking this one in hot water to loosen the wheels for removal. That’s a tip I got from another makeover channel called Read the Factory Manual. Thanks, Bill. Good luck to me! Enjoy the makeover.
