1953 Tonka COE Livestock Semi Truck Restoration

I bought this 1953 Tonka Livestock Semi Truck COE with a box of other vintage pressed steel trucks July of 2020. This truck was missing alot of pieces, the semi trailer floor, the tow pin, the trailer jack, a wheel and tire assembly, the rear tailgate and overall was in very bad shape! It had been repainted at one point in it's life and looked to be abused majority of it's life. This Tonka was in dire need of help.
