1960 Tonka Pickup Restoration

I purchased this 1960 Tonka Pickup on eBay March of 2020. Overall condition was good when i received it. The front grille and bumper had rust and corrosion, the body was missing paint and rusting underneath. All parts were there and in good physical shape. Starting off I removed the hub caps and whitewalls, the white walls were extremely brittle from age and were destroyed upon removal. However, the hub caps had very light surface rust and looked great. Removal of the tires required using a Dremel tool to shave off the peened surface of the axles. Outside of being dirty the tires were in excellent shape, the axles themselves had lots of heavy rust. After drilling out the tube rivets from the bed and removing rear fenders, the bed was able to be removed. Next the rivets retaining the front bumper were drilled out, this allowed access to the retaining tabs holding the chassis to the cab. With the cab removed the front grille was removed by pressing the headlights out from the truck. The easiest way to do this
