Old Purple - Ford C900 Garwood LP900

Started with the garbage truck from amt. It will be a mostly box stock build with the exception of a new battery box and a storage compartment

Cool project

Neat build. I’ve watched some YouTube videos of the 1:1. Great idea for a project.

Nice job,,, I have to get one of those C-cab Ford kits or should I say Budd cab Ford kits ? I worked on enough of them back in the day.

You caught the original so well I thought the first picture was a diorama you'd built.

Looks just like the one in the photo!  Nice job on this.  I don't think I have seen a purple garbage truck before, but now I just did!

Looks great, really like how you weathered and aged the unit

Some more progress. I had designed the hydraulic container lift system in usion 360. I had uploaded the files on cults3D. I also did some new mirrors for the Ford C-Series

You were right the first time. It's a Ford cab. Budd stamped it, but Ford designed it and paid for the tooling. Any manufacturer who wished to use it needed approval from Ford.
