Nylint Uhaul Box Truck Restoration restore antique vintage rusty JoeDIY makeover

For more DIY follow me on Instagram! / joe_diy
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.

My dad was a U-Haul dealer in the 70s and I received this truck for Christmas one year thanks for the video brought back good memories

[@later4908]

I want this vehicle in Christmas

[@shawngrenaud]

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!

Polyester glazing putty or 2k high build primer would have been a good option for filling the rust pits.

Youve got me all misty-eyed!! I received this model as a Christmas present... gosh... had to be 45 years ago! It was my favorite toy, had so much fun playing with it! Thanks for the memory ☺

[@Biscuit1973]

I've seen a toy truck like that nearly 40 years ago when Nylint used to make these toys & that was the last time I've seen that U-Haul toy truck .

[@kevincrews4187]

It is really relaxing! & it's so cool to see these old toys saved from the trashcan,& brought back to New Status.....makes me wanna go grab some of my old Tonka trucks, & take a shot at this myself?

[@lesuiken6057]

Do it!

[@johnringel9892]

I got one of these for Christmas when I was 8. That was almost 50 years ago. I still have it ! In its original box. Some childhood memories, I just can't let go of.

[@jailbird1133]

Wow. I dont think I even thought of keeping the boxes for any of my toys.

[@brian70Cuda]

I remember getting a Tonka dump truck (built sort of the same way) and like you I kept the box, looks kind of ratty now but I still have them together. Probably end up in the landfill when I'm gone. Great memories though:)

I still have a road grader I got for Christmas when I was 8 or 9 years old. Had for 50 years.

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

[@harleycrasher8396]

Thank you. My dad gave me one for Christmas back in the 70's. Played with it till it fell apart. Good job. A joy to watch .

[@ripd97]

I never realized that U-Haul had unpainted trucks till I saw you restore this truck and didn't understand why you did that. So I looked it up and sure enough U-Haul had unpainted trucks in the 50's, great job and thanks for the history,

[@markk3652]

Magnificent job! Now, some testors model paint for some detail work, clearance lights, tail lights and headlights. That would put it on the next level.

[@perfectwunn]

Oh man thats awesome! Classic u haul box truck.. Badass vintage toy.

came out wonderful, I didn't know you could buy parts for these

[@Roadvergeant]

This is such an excellent work! But later, if you do another restoration (like this) try apply a primer coat before apply a top coat, resulting the paint looks smooth because the rust pits are filled with the primer coat.
