Structo COE Toy Semi-Truck OVERHAUL Follow-up

This is a follow-up on a project started last year where a Structo prototype tractor was overhauled. It began life as an early pressed steel type not unlike ones produced by Tonka in the same time period. In this case, this truck soldiered on into the 1960's and this may have been an off-the-shelf conversion to adapt the semi-tractor to popular "long chassis" designs then popular on the west coast.

In the end it was both OVERHAULED and UPDATED with adapted Structo parts and some custom items such as dual exhaust, saddle tanks, new, grill and bumper. The trailer received some updates as well such as a bed frame, rip-stop tarp and Structo vintage tailgate. The truck is now in a private Structo museum in Tennessee.

Enjoy your collecting!
