When you lift the rear, the tailgate opens up to dump the garbage out.

This whole lot was WON FOR A MERE $15! Shipping was $5 :woot:

Everything but the bus won't be with me for long, they were purchased as a gift for a special friend of mine. (he doesn't have a Garage Account)

Thanks for looking! :wave:

That stuff is way cool. I wondered if I ever played with any of those as a child in the sixties?

Not that I'm biased, but I always loved, and have been after that "Husky"-brand garbage truck since I started diecast collecting last October. It's not the same cab, but opens the same way. They chromed the living daylights out of that truck!

Nice vintage Matchboxes! I recently got all those models this month, save for the cement truck and trash truck. I love the Daimler Bus because of the "suspension" it has. Try lightly tipping it a little bit from the side, it shakes like Jello!

Thanks! I hope you find that "Husky" garbage truck! I tried tipping the bus. It has a top heavy wobble to it.

I've managed to acquire a few of the MBX refuse trucks

I don't have the Husky, but I do have the paper label Corgi jr...does that count?
