    Hey everyone and welcome back to another restoration! In today's video I am restoring a Nylint Ford U Haul box truck. This thing was completed rusted out when I found it. I tired to fix the bed with labmetal filler but it was too far gone. Luckily I was able to source a nice rust free original body and a set of wheels.

    Well equipped for the job yet replaces many fixable parts, then leaves the orange-painted areas pitted and rough. All the comments saying, Magnificent, Beautiful, Wonderful! A head-scratcher for sure. The net result is a video containing few of the elements we restoration geeks typically look for. I guess it pays off. 35k subscribers. Hat's off!

    I think it good someone restores these old toys instead of just throwing them away, this is what we had as kids to play with, We would take them out Tonka's Nylint, to the field while our parents and grandparents was working, and play right out in the hot sun all day, Until we got old enough to work in the fields, I'm thinking some of these old toy trucks maybe still laying around the old barn. If they haven't been thrown away. I may give it a try. Problem is find the correct decals. It would very cool to give these to my grandkids and let them play with our old toys. Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it enough to subscribe. I'll be watching

    Damn, I had one of them. I can only imagine what has happened to it since it was mine. Left all my toys at a day care before I moved out of state

      Most likely if they were metal they got scraped. To dangerous for the kids now days!

      Good to hear. Wish I still had all of my matchbox and hot wheels. Had a small fortune saved up. Turned around one day when I moved out of my parents house and packed up all of my belongings and found out my mother gave them to my sister's son never to see them again!

      I remember visiting my uncle Steve who owned a farm in Illinois and he had so.e old metal toy tractor and trucks in the barn I would play with. Toys were built to last back then! I've started a new collection of toy cars. They are the Johnny Lightning series and a few other brands.

    Mostly replacement parts...I recall the cargo bay exteriors being white.

    I remember seeing that in the window of a U-Haul store in Texas in 1975. Mom bought it and I went home with it.

    eBay has such parts of antique toys to sell, wonderful.
