As a boy, Tonka dump trucks were the best. This well loved vehicle is my son’s.

I wholeheartedly agree. My two brothers had a Tonka truck exactly like the one in your photo. My two boys also have a Tonka truck exactly like the one in your photo. And if I have grandsons, I will buy them a Tonka truck exactly like the one in your photo. It’s timeless.

Haha, I so enjoy going around checking this week’s photo sharing. Looking at this tonka toy, lol, brings back good memories when I was a child. I love tonka trucks more than dolls.

I didn’t have a lot of tonka trucks but they were fun. we currently have one that is about 20 years old - one heavy hunk of metal it is - they sure dont make them like that anymore

Tonka trucks were great. My brother had some… and now trucks are made of plastic and fall apart. Does Tonka still make them?

Our baby boy is just 9 weeks old, so we will have to get out our collection of these dump trucks again!
Great pic!
Mine’s up!

Tonka trucks: makes me wanna start pushing one around on the floor, except my knees and back would start to hurt after a period of time…
