First Gear Die-Cast Vintage Garbage Trucks

This is just a quick little video showing two of my personal favorites from my model garbage truck collection!
Featured first is a Mack "L" Series chassis with a Heil Collecto-Pak refuse collection body. Everything is fully functional - the trough raises to be dumped into the body, the top open as the trough is being raised, the tailgate open and the body raises to empty the load of trash. This is an extremely detailed piece!
Also featured is a Mack AK chassis with an open-dump style body, the very first "garbage truck"! Just as detailed as the first truck! The tailgate open and the body raises!
Both models are made by First Gear Replicas and are precisely 1:34 scale! The first truck generally runs about $65 and the second truck around $45! They are highly recommended for collectors of model garbage trucks, collectors of vintage truck models, or die-cast model collectors in general! They are extremely fragile and have lots of small, delicate, moving parts, so they are not recommended for children, and I do not recommend "playing" with them a whole lot, they are mostly meant to be displayed!
Questions and comments are more than welcome! Enjoy!

The L model is my favorite. In fact I’ve have my own Chicago City one. It’s a good little truck. I’ve watched this video many times, it’s good to see it again.

Never thought these trucks were that cool but damn! You changed my opinion!! These are awesome! You did a fantastic job!

Very entertaining. The first time I've ever seen a Colecto-Pak in "action"

Another good job on a video, B.!
I particularly like the Mack AK model. We built a new office for a road construction Co. years ago, and they had an AK model in their shop, 1929 if I recall correctly. I was able to see it up close……wish I’d taken some pics of it.
Really strange how it had a differential, but they ran chains to the wheels……….not sure why they chose that set up back in those days.

How did you make the garbage bag

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

I make mine by taking a small piece of a real garbage bag, stuffing a tiny piece of tissue in it, and tie off the top with dental floss.
