#1 COMRICK317 TONKA MAVERICK  
I have a question ,does anyone out there have the Tonka Maverick from the early 70's. What i need is some info or better yet a picture of the back end of this toy as i want to see it so i can fab up a copy of the rear as that is the only part missing. Any info would be very helpful as all the pictures on this website (the toy section) are of the front of the car.:thumbsup: NMCC

Uh no, the original is only 124px wide. :p Your phone shrank it when you emailed it. Just upload it direct from your phone, or make sure it does not get resized when you email it.

Glad you finally made it home though. I bet Marcy was worried. :D

Yeah Matt ruins everything with his fancy dancy resizer thingy, now i'll need to copy the picture and look it up and then have to enlarge it and then it's gonna be all grainy and then it won't look good and then it will hurt my eyes to look at it. I'll have to do all that just to see the rear of it so i can make one or something like it, it's sooooo unfair. :p

You know i totally forgot i posted this thread, i can't believe it's from 2008. I only came across it when i looked up Maverick toys on Google image and the picture i posted of the primer Tonka Maverick came up. I went to the "Go to the website location" and there it appeared. I thought it would be funny to ask for the picture as if i was still waiting all this time........... so thanks for the picture as it really is the first one that i have seen that shows the rear end of the Tonka Maverick.
:thumbsup:

I can try and send you a better shot if you need one,....its really nothing at all, the tail lights are all plastic chrome, the rest is same as the body color. no trim or decals:thumbsup:

You really can upload the original directly to the board on your phone.. Yes, it will resize it, but it doesn't delete the original (I have that turned off right now) so if it is too small to see I can replace it with the original.

If your phone isn't detected automatically (which it likely won't) you can use this link to get the mobile friendly view: Mobile Forums

Hell yeah! I still like Matt though, even if i have never really met him and as long as he does not start calling himself the "Big Cheese". That would just be creepy.
