j hancock Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Looks Great!There sure have been some design changes to packer bodies since the little one was in action. It is amazing you had one to restore because so many rusted out or vanished when scrap prices went through the roof a few years ago. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

refusegetter Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 @j hancockYour so right about that garbage trucks generally get used to the point where they are beyond repair. Luckily we found this ol girl and 2 others in an old bone yard. We picked all three of them up and come up with this at the end. We actually just sold one to a trash museum in Sanford Florida last week. All in all I've seen about 10 of them(pictures only) on the internet.

I remember when I was a kid half of the garbage in the winter was buckets a coal dust from the coal fur.!
