Ford C-Series Leach Sanicruiser Garbage Truck On Route!
Фильм және анимация
Well I know for a fact that all you classic truck lovers will get a kick out of this video for sure! This was the first Ford C-Series I’ve filmed, along with the first Sanicruiser as well! I’d like to start off by thanking Jaime Wacker for letting me film and ride along, honesty made the video 1000 percent cooler!
It’s crazy to think that back in the 80’s, hundreds of these roamed Portland, as there were so many companies, due to it being open market. It’s incredible that in 2021, only one remains. Wacker Sanitary has been notorious for classic trucks, and they definitely uphold the Portland garbage truck stereotype. Lodals, rear load commercial, now Labries, and yes, a Sanicruiser.
The truck itself is a 1987, and it shows! You’ll notice in the video, the classic dash, the classic sounds (airbrakes are the best part), and the white smoke as it turns on in the garage. All parts that make a good video for sure! It’s also good to point out that there aren’t too many videos of Leach Sanicruisers on KZread, and this is the first one doing commercial dumpsters, especially with the “NW” style kick bar. You will also notice that he is doing his cardboard route, which he does every week, but I believe the new truck is being used more often. Either way, I was extremely lucky to have found this. The whole route was filmed and is in this video, so there really are only 3-4 stops for cardboard, and obviously at the end when he is dumping, that cardboard has been sitting for a while.
I hope you all really enjoyed this video, a lot of work went in to finding this. I’d like to also point out the good work Jaime does, and I also offered him to put the Wacker Sanitary Facebook link in this description, so feel free to check it out!
Thanks again to Jaime for making this video possible!
And as always, please comment, like, subscribe, and thanks for watching!

The C series and L series have a very distinctive queefing sound
Dang I was born when this Beaut came out new out in production 😅, amazing she still going!
1:52 nice billboard, Very Portland.
Kudos for pushing 2-yarders around. That's how I hurt my back some 25 years ago. Cool to see! Love the old school. No check engine lights or emissions here!

Yessir! Thank you!
Fantastic video Isaac! That is a classic truck and now it is well preserved in video at least. Seems perfect for a small cardboard route. The classic kickbar setup is a plus but I sure cringed when that one bin fell off it. Nice job, thoroughly enjoyed.
Now this is one cool truck. Amazing how there are so few of these old dinosaurs left from the 80’s. My town has an old Packmaster from 1986 that they only use of Christmas trees. I was fortunate to get it on film two years ago.
It’s a legend that Ford C series Leach Senicruiser rear loader Garbage truck amazing you can’t find great trucks like this one
Thanks so much for posting this video. It was so cool to see something working from the year I was born. Those sounds are something you don't forget. I've been a truck enthusiast for 30 years. I drove trucks off and on for 8 years and I still have no idea why older Ford trucks make that sound with the air brakes haha. It's great though. Up until I was about 10 the truck on my route was a Ford l8000 rear load. Used to love watching them pick up the trash and get them to blow the air horn. Great stuff.

I drove one just like that for many years and I also used a manual front loader like it too
That truck just screams cool and it's awesome
Totally awesome to see this old girl still chugging along in 2021.
This is by far probably one of my favorite videos you have ever filmed. I love the brakes🤣😂

very cool and very vintage truck and sounds and runs great what year what decade is it the ejector blade runs fast . I remember we had them picking up trash where we lived back in the 1970s early 1980s .
Holy shit! That Sanicruiser’s of definitely beast sounds! Always loved vintage Leach Packmaster refuse trucks! Fun fact: Garden State Removal Co (New jersey hauler) used had Leach Sanicruiser back in mid 70s!

Where do I even begin?? Kudos to Jaime on keeping this beast alive and well. I always love seeing rear load commercial routes. Superbly done from start to finish. Question though, does that old Cargostar run? If so does Jaime use it on route as well?

Thank you sir! And according to Jaime, it does run, just not on routes. It needs a cleaning, and some minor repairs, but I am pretty sure it could run a route!

Listen to that rod knock!!
Probably the best truck on the fleet We're getting ready to put a rear load body on a C8000 too 😁
nice catch mate!
Loving the truck
I remember when the city of Philadelphia used to run these trucks down town in the early 80's . They also used the Heil mark V and formula 4000.

Still in Service. I remember this one in San Juan but in an International Harvester cabover
Awesome video I always loved the old Ford C series trucks now y'all got me hooked on garbage trucks just wondering why the one dumpster kept coming unhooked
you are a real anorak , as we say in england , good video !
Sorry put the first comment up before the video ending because I was so excited the international you were talking about is that a transtar if so I love those trucks
this truck looks scary in morning fog
I have one!! But it’s a dump truck with the v8 Detroit 5 speed with the 2 speed axle.
It's good to see these trucks still in action. It seemed to eject the load pretty fast..is this clamp and release or was it retro-fitted with a telescopic cylinder?

I had a clamp and release. That was a stupid dangerous system. For the slight difference in price we should have got the telescopic system.
Back in the late 60s and into the 70s, NYC used Leach Sanicruisers, although I'm not sure what type of COB chassis they would team with them.... I think they might've used Fords and Macks - not sure...
"Pardon me, but... you are... TRASH, are you not...?" "Why yes, I am trash! How is it that I may be of assistance, sir?" "WELL THEN! If you are indeed this "trash" as you claim, then something in fact worries me a bit..." "I'd certainly be happy to answer any questions you have...?" "Well you see, it's just-- WHY AREN'T YOU IN MAH BELLEH?!" "OH SHIT!!!"
epic
at 14:33 its a old truck and then a brand new wm cng automated side loader 😂😂
Can't figure out what engine that has. It's too quiet to be a Detroit. I saw in another comment you said it had Detroit power. To me it sounds like either a Cummins or a Cat
Awesome!!!! A classic!!! More video if possible please!!!
Probably has the non-turbo caterpillar 3406 very good motor, very reliable ,just not a lot of power
Probably the best truck i have ever watched. Its hard to believe that so many decades later this beast still exists. Does this truck run daily routes as well?

What year is that truck?????🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Holy crap this thing is a classic! Love the sound of those brakes for starters, they just sound freaking cool! And that engine sound! Love it! I'm so glad you got that takeoff at 3:12 and got it shifting through a few gears there! I assume it has a Caterpillar 3208, right? Do you know the model of Allison? And watching/hearing it pick up those dumpsters was just cool! What other trucks do they run? Please, if possible, more videos of their fleet, maybe more ride alongs as well, I just love ride along vids! And Jaime seems like he's an amazing guy! Would love to maybe do a ride along if I'm ever in the area!
