Nylint F-Series trucks were beautifully done. Not only did they reflect the excellent lines of the real trucks, they also replicated, in their own way, the "Twin-I-Beam" suspension Ford so proudly introduced in their 1965 light-duty truck line.
#3800 – Ford Sales and Service – 1960-61
Nylint’s first F-Series truck was the Ford Sales and Service Pick-Up. It was modeled after the Ford trucks of the early 1960'sand did not feature the "Twin-I-Beam" suspension mentioned above.
Early Pick-Ups had separately applied plastic taillights. This feature was soon dropped.
Nylint catalogs pictured this truck with a ladder. Production toys did not include the ladder.
#4000 – Ford Speedway Special – 1960-62
A most desirable set. The bronze and white paint scheme contrasted well. The plastic Indy-style racer was an excellent accessory and the "action features" were well thought out. A great toy!
On this early truck Nylint used white taillights. What were they thinking?
Trailer wheels were copies of those used on the truck but of smaller diameter and size (8×19.5).
A clever tilt-bed design added realism and play value.
A wire front axle hook kept the racer in place over those rough roads.
