Brockway 457 with Leach Packer

[Warren D]

Calling this one done.  AITM Brockway 457 day cab on a Freightliner chassis with a Keystone Leach packer.  Due to the uneven surfaces on the packer, I skinned all the flat areas with thin sheet.  Wheels and tires came from the leftovers parts bin.  Turquoise frame and cab, white packer and cab roof.

Neat build. The Keystone body looks like it builds up well. You’ve done a beautiful job with it.

Great idea on skinning it with thin sheet. I have one of these bodies myself. Glad I got it when I did. One thing I’ve learned is grab the aftermarket stuff when it’s available.

Excellent work ! Nice touches w the broom and shovel on the back too..now does it smell like a garbage truck ?

It won't at least as long as it stays in the house!

Great looking build, Warren. The cab looks awesome with the Leach on the back.

You did a great job combining all the elements into a cool looking trash truck.

Nor with a DD6-72 under the hood!  I'm running low on Brockway cabs, hope the AITM line re-surfaces soon.
