My Buddy l Wrecker just arrived today and i just started to clean it up. Any tips on how to clean it up. I'm using polish and an old t shirt and it's hard to get in the tight places. Thanks, Owen

Owen, looks like a neat toy. A lot of the time tires and/or wheels are missing as well as other parts.
Can I make a photographic suggestion though? try to take a picture with a plain background. It took me a while to realize that the pumps behind it where not part of the truck itself.
Shows us a cleaned showroom shot when you finish. Old toys ROCK!

Thanks Doc,
It's hard to find a place out here without junk in the back ground. LOL I will take it in the house after i clean it up and get a good shot of it.

Owen, I use a soft bristled toothbrush when cleaning "tight spots"... (I buy children's toothbrushes at the $1 store. They are softer than adult brushes and at 2 for a buck... a great "throw away)...

Thanks! I need to make a display case for the garage wall to keep the dust off of my growing toy collection.

Not near as nice as your new toy {yours is great} but here is my new toy. I picked it up yesterday from a guy I met at a yard sale. I went to his house and bought it before he had his yard sale today.

Thanks Guys!

That's a cool truck and you can ride it to boot! If you had waited until the yard sale you may have missed it........
