Nylint Rental Trucks

Sign from an oldU-Haul display rack.

Nylint Rental trucks are an all time favorite. Almost all of them carried the U-Haul logo and featured brightorange and white paint schemes. By now, knowledgeable collectors have noticed that the nice-lookingU-Haul stake-bed at right is a fake. Nylint never made such a truck. But, they should have! (By the way I used "plasti-kote Chrysler Orange No. 226 engine enamel" when I custom restored this truck.) The remainder of the trucks in this section are authentic and unrestored.

#4100F – U-Haul Truck & Trailer Set – 1961-64

In 1961 Nylint introduced their first U-Haul truck, the #4100 2-piece set. The example shown here is a bit later in that it does not carry the rear-quarter-panel rectangular logo and the box is marked #4100F.

#4100 – U-Haul Truck & Trailer Set – 1965-66

Basically the same #4100 set as shown above, but this time the new 1965-style cab is used. The #4100 was discontinued from Nylint catalogs after 1966.

#4100 – U-Haul Truck & Trailer Set

Once in awhile collectors will encounter the #4100 set with the 1965-style cab but it will have the "Twin-I-Beam" decal on the door instead of the U-Haul logo. This is rare, but original.
