Abandoning the familiar red and yellow paint scheme, the 1966 version appeared in a pastel green and white form at – perhaps to attract more girls to the toy truck marketplace.
This black and yellow color scheme was never pictured in Nylint’s advertising but was probably available during the same period as the truck shown above. Both are relatively rare today.
Another seldom seen color variation. Characteristics place this truck in approximately the same time period as both of the trucks above. It was not shown in the Nylint catalogs.
#6100 – Hydraulic Dump Truck – 1963-70
Besides the line-up of mechanical Dump Trucks listed above, Nylint also offered a power-assisted Dump Truck. Its hydraulic ram provided help lifting those heavy loads of wet sand.
Although identical in outward appearance, there were actually two versions of the Hydraulic Dump Truck. What I believe to be the first version is pictured above with its horizontally mounted ram.
This mounting of the ram seems to provide more leverage and eliminates the need for a hole in the back of the cab. Therefore, I believe it is the second variation – pending further discovery.
