Chuck Most Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 This was just a fun project, a kitbash between the (now) AMT Dodge L700 and the AMT Ford C900 Garwood packer. The rear frame rails were grafted onto the Ford chassis to get the wheelbase to 153". Basic large subassemblies were mostly out of the box, though I added a winch cable made from leader line and added some work lights. Line-O reflective tape was used in place of the kit waterslide decals. The paint on the packer body started the entire project. I found a can of Rust-Oleum Satin Moss Green in the garage, and thought it was an appropriately hideous color that would look good in a garbage truck. The same green was used for the wheels, bumper, and grille. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
