Thanks Eric, excellent first post...
I made contact with Eric Voytko at Classic Refuse Trucks prior to starting this build. Needless to say, I have scoured the Garwood section quite thoroughly a few times and discovered where AMT had made some mistakes, whether intentional or not, with the packer body. The Purple truck is what I'm using as a base for the exterior weathering that I am doing.....found another Ford C-900 trash truck that I'll use for the cab interior weathering and another 2 or 3 packer body interiors that I'll use for weathering the interior packer body. I plan on displaying this build at model shows with the packer body roof off to show the correct packer body interior details.
