Jersey Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 I thought it would be fun to collect the Tonkas that I had when I was a kid. These two are the beginning of my collection. I just picked them up on Ebay. I still have my original Tow Truck from the 70s, but it is in bad condition (missing everything). 3 Quote Link to comment
