      You are so very welcome, kaufdrop!! :-) :-) :-) Your TONKA has certainly survived the years in better condition than mine, it looks GREAT! Interesting also that yours is labeled "TONKA [of] Toronto, Can." -- I'm betting (without going to look, if I even thought the stickers on mine were still readable) that mine would have been labeled differently since it first came from the midwest USA...?

      That is the 1962-1969 label. Cool truck.

      Thanks all for the love's.
      fortapache, you nailed it, those were my childhood years.
      AnythingObscure, you noticed the Canadian TONKA sticker, the unique thing about that is when this truck gets cut off in traffic, instead of swearing at you it apologizes.
