Hey everyone and welcome back to another restoration! In today's video I am restoring a rare 1950's Tonka Internation Metro Milk Van. This thing was beat! (although it did come with repro doors which is always nice) A horrible repaint and more dents than I could count! Even the wheels were dry rotted beyond repair requiring replacements. I did my best to pound out the dents, straigthen out the bumpers, powder coat, and get this thing back to its former glory.
