These are two HO-Scale vehicles that I found at a yardsale yesterday. At the top is a Mack CF ladder truck, Yourtown FD #3363, made by IHC (I believe.) Below it is a '70's style panel truck by the Lindberg Series (Mini-Lindy.)

yeah the bottom one had Ryder Truck on the bottom but to me I think it resemble the old U-Hauls trucks of the 1970s thru early 80s
pic stolen from Pinterest 
See?
the Ryder name was covered up on later models
Do want someone to do one of mine up like that

Yeah, you're right - the green Ryder panel truck does resemble the U-Haul! I knew that it was modeled after the 1970's period.
The cab of the panel truck and the U-Haul are a definite match -- meaning that the panel truck is therefore Ford tough.

Looks like they will be a great addition to your layout! I have also used a pack of similar-looking individuals to "people" the Ephrata Valley Railroad.

 Thank You, RP-Model R... The people come as singles and I guess the buyer can pair them together if wanted. These people make the scenes come to life..

well yeah
I don't remember Ryder even using that type of Ford truck then either
but Lindberg did have it yellow & it did come with Ryder decals
here are my 2
bottom with Ryder covered up on one
Still would have one in U-Haul
oh Lindberg only made these vehicles from 1968 to 1970
Thats why they are hard to find sometimes
