Here we have a super cool truck that I am so glad I got the opportunity to film! (I hope I got the title right btw, let me know if I’m wrong and this is actually something else). This is a former City of South Euclid unit that was now ran by Cleveland Heights. They mostly were using it for recycling. I don’t know the year but I’d guess late 70s to mid 80s. Now that they’ve gone automated I don’t know if they still use this truck or if they even own it still. But I did see their MR Leach RL out earlier this week presumably on yard waste. They haven’t gotten any new RLs yet but I heard they were going to within the next few years. If they are done with this truck, at least I filmed it while I still could. This is not all the footage I have btw, I have more that I will upload later at some point

Awesome video of classic old school Ford garbage truck
Thanks for sharing some old iron out on the road
Wow a sweet and awesome find and blast from the past!! Please dont let it get deleted!!
Beautiful old Louisville, nothing like the purr of a 3208 Cat.
Wow, this is one insane catch, great job! It’s incredible how after all these years those cities out there maintained this truck so well. Even though the packing cycle is slow as balls lol, looks like it can manage a recycle route like that with no problem! Neat watching it around the snowy setting as well. Although like you said it doesn’t run anymore, so glad you got to capture this classic on camera!
You should check out Rumpke in East Cleveland some time if you ever get the chance! They run some cool rear loads out there!
This truck was always my favorite to see driving by to grab yard waste when we got our cans. Too bad the trans went out and is now deemed irreparable.
I saw this same unit a year ago and took a photo of it.
Thus beauty is a 1986
Awesome video bro I like this truck.
Awesome video! This is a neat truck. Really enjoyed watching this video.
When was this truck built? That is cool that the driver let you film the interior.

That’s a old school garbage truck with cat engine in it
Sweet find! Cool to see a classic like this, would be nice if this is at least still at the yard. You know of any other local yards that may by a truck this old for manual if they sold it? Great video!

Why is this so exciting? Yeah, cool truck, but it's an old, slow pos.

You got it. It’s a cool truck, and it’s a old truck, still in operation and still working. Looks great for its age too. It’s probably serving a small area so it makes not sense to put it out of commission if it still works fine for it’s intended use. Don’t be so negative.
