1960's Nylint Ford Econoline truck, steel toy

[3 on the Tree]

Hey guys, this is mine that I am trying to sell. It's a real cool conversation piece. I had it sitting at my dad's body shop for years holding business cards in the bed and everyone always commented on it. I hate to see it go, but times are tough and I need money to pay off some bills A.S.A.P.

Below is my Craig's List add. All contact information, pricing, and location is in the add. Thanks for looking.

That's awsome, yeah I have a bit of everything myself; Buddy L, Nylint, Structo, Tonka, and some strange off brands. Most of what I have are from the 50's and 60's. Not nearly as many as you have though, I only have about a dozen. I'm getting F'd with school bills right now and unfortunately I have to sell some of these old relics. I really don't want to, honestly I wanted to save them for my kids some day but times are tough right now.

[KASEY]

thats how i started collecting them,, me and the kids built a big place in the back yard.. the bigger it got the more trucks we needed,,, well now they are grown and gone... but i still have the trucks,,, someday my grand kids will play with real METAL trucks!!!

Hell yeah, I want my kids to know that once-upon-a-time toys were made of durable materials. I am just old enough to have had some steel toys in my youth (I'm 24); just before the plastic generation.

...I have four of the same one, two pink, the others blue. I used to be into the Econoline Vans and Pick-Ups, thats why I bought mine. I am thinking of cleaning one of them up and turning it into a 65 1/2 5 window Econoline Spring Special!

Throw it on Fee-Bay. There seems to be a market for them.

I retract that statement, does not seem to be much of a market on there right now.

Yeah I know nothing like this is really selling on e-gay. There is a market for them, but it is small. I need to pay a phone bill by Friday or else my phone will be turned off. I'm between jobs right now and I don't start my new job at Dodge until the 7th, so needless to say, I'm screwed for about the next 3 weeks.

my dad had one of those that he repainted and sold,Was the real thing. Felt weird. Sitting in it and to drive it but was pretty cool and interesting.

If you guys knows anybody who may be interested, please pass the word around. I'll let it go for $40 just to I can keep my phone on for another week. These models usually sell for between 70 and 90 on ebay, I just need the money quick or else I'd try listing it on there.

[KASEY]

How about i paypal you $40 to keep your phone on,, then when you can ,send it back??? HATE TO SEE YOU GIVE THE TRUCK AWAY... THEN REGRET IT.... JUST A SIMPLE NO INTREST LOAN FOR A LITTLE WHILE???

To Swampthang - Oh ha ha lol.

Kasey, that is a real generous offer and I appreciate the gesture but I'd have to say no. This truck isn't one of my favorites so I won't be too sad to see it go. Yeah I need my phone to some extent, but it isn't the end of the world if it gets shut off for a week. I'd rather see the truck go to someone who'll truely appreciate it anyhow.

just noticed someone sellin the real thing near me. wants 4 k for the truck tho..cool truck but needs a heck of a lot of work, and i have a money pit already
