@SquishDoll hey squishdoll..they seem to be late 60's/early 70s Leachs? on a White chassis..one appears to be a internationonal emeryville with that same body...it almost looks like a leach it resembles the chassis DSNY used to use and they were Leachs im almost sure!
Excellent video. What movie is this from? I worked part time on one of these in the early 70s when I was 14. We had a 66 International and a 61 Ford cabover(my favourite). You got a slight break when the load went up. Two guys on the back then. You did both sides of the street if not too busy. Reasonable pay and you weren`t worked to death like today with one guy.
Hi. Fantastic vidio. From what movie? I worked on these in the early 70s when I was 14. Part time. We had a 66 International and a 61 Ford my favorite. Two guys on the back then. You got a breather when the load went up. Both side of the street where not too busy. No 50 year olds on them now. John Cambridge (Preston) Ont. Canada.

Cool old style rear-loaders!
Do you know who made these?
Looks like these trucks belonged to LA dept of Sanitation way back in the 70s...
