When doing demolition work contractors often used their oldest and most rugged trucks. The photos below show a truck typical of a 1960s scene where the dump body was taken off a newer faster truck because it was almost worn out. Putting on this job will probably be the last for both the truck and body.

Notice that the cab protector is much higher than it needs to be; it was built for a new cab that was higher off the frame. The body is the Sheepscot #26115 solid urethane with the load molded in. I machined much of the load out before putting the demolition material load back in.

The aren't many extras on this truck, a solid urethane fuel tank on the left side, no vertical exhaust because this is a gas job. Compare the height of the hood on this truck to the newer 1950s Autocars we just introduced which are diesels. I did put on some A-line #29201 windshield wipers, they help the driver see through all the mud slopping around the job site and haul roads. Notice also the well worn mud flaps to satisfy the police when on the highway trip to the dump site.

The weathering is all done with an air brush and thinned Floquil paint. The demolition material is made from birch dowels, Northeastern Scale Lumber, Plaster of Paris concrete chunks, Evergreen Scale styrene tubes and brass rods for pipes.
