I found these pieces covered in old barn dust and pigeon poo. I was thinking of using the dump truck body and bed for a build, what do you think? Anybody convert any of the big tonka toys?

google RC dump truck, loader or dozer and you'll find lots of them on you tube & other forums. ;)

Great find Cooper. Those a some nice looking units. :drool: :)

Yes, they've been quite popular over the years for their durability and variety. They're easily converted to r/c and many consider them to be "old-school" (for their age and look [style]). :D

I'd like to see what you do with them. :popcorn:

I have those 3 models at home, but in much worst condition. Those are like new once the dust is removed!
