Vehicles AT Universal Heavy Transport by Squashfest

AT Universal Heavy Transport
This is my first Joe custom completed for my sons first birthday.
What Tonka's lack is real action figure playability. With that in mind I got to work. A cab was created to seat two figures and a trailer was fabricated to mount multiple vehicles.

Cool beans. Where did you find it?

Started with your basic Tonka truck from the 80's and vinyl fence scraps. Cab was created from the vinyl along with a pair of seats. The trailer was made from the same vinyl scraps cut and glued up.
The boy loves dragging it around. Thanks for the comments.

I love the Imaginext sub on there

Wasn't sure where the sub was from, but knew it would work. The seat was poorly sized and spaced, so it was cut and a simple scrap riveted in. Now it's perfect for Joe's.

Love it. I have one of those subs. I have eventual plans of building it into one of those bubble helicopters.

Cool.

I actually have one of those subs myself, disassembled and sitting in storage down in Texas waiting for me to move into a house up here in Wisconsin so I can finish my custom. I had intended on trimming the seat so it sat back further. Are you saying that won't work?
