Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I did not know where to put it since it's not really die cast, and there is no Tonka section.

I was out with my wife one day, and there was a thrift store next to where she wanted to go, so I said what the heck, I'll take a look. Well buried under a pile of cheap garbage toys I saw what appeared to be a Jeep grill, so I dug it out. It was a Tonka Jeep Dispatcher CJ3B. Since I love Jeeps, and have a 89 YJ as my dd, I decided to pick this up for my Jeep collection, and for $3 why the heck not! I found a very informative site, http://www.film.queensu.ca/cj3B/Toys/TonkaDetails.html ... about this particular truck when I got home with it, and using their info it appears to be a 1963-64 version. It's not perfect, but seeing as it's about 45 years old, it's not in bad shape either. So heres a few pics, hope ya like em...

You just gota luv those flat fenderd jeeps! Great find.:thumbsup:

You got that for only $3.00? I see those from time to time, but always for a whole lot more than that. That thing looks great.

Yep, $3.00 at a no name thrift store. I never actually thought I would find anything cool, it was buried under a bunch of junk, and the grill was what caught my eye.

It's actually a little rough, one of the fenders is bent, a few paint chips here and there, but overall, for being as old as it is, it's in pretty decent shape. It could definitely use a good cleaning though.

Nice find, seen worse for alot more than that.
