CRT Archives Winter 2007 Truck of the Month: 1967 Gar Wood T-140FL No other refuse truck before or since has attempted to achieve what Gar Wood tried with their T-100 series. Front wheel drive, integrated body and chassis, and a combination front and rear loader set this behemoth far apart from the pack. Despite this ambitious design, the T-100 was ultimately doomed and undoubtedly contributed to the failure of Gar Wood early in the next decade. If not for a crash engineering program by new owner Sargent Industries (which spawned the famous 900 series), this may have turned out to be one of the last of the breed. See the short essay The Saga of the T-100 in the NEWS update of this issue.
