Tonka Fire Jeep on eBay
Here’s a Tonka Fire Jeep that appears to be in great shape.
“This is a terrific Jeep Fire Truck in excellent condition. It has the original tires (white walls) and hub caps, nozzle on hose, red light on hood, head lights, red ladder, two fire extinguishers on rear bumper and Tonka decal on both sides. Interrior is perfect with original steering wheel. There are a few minor scratches on the ladder but otherwise there is very little, if any, show of ware. No box. This is from a collection of Tonka Trucks that were used for display.”
