paul roncetti Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I saw this picture long time ago, I believe these trucks are used at New York Cities Fresh Kills Landfill on Staten Island. I also saw the same truck being used in the World Trade Center cleanup. 1 Quote RONCETTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsb502 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I always liked the RD800's just look like a work truck should. Those are like a mullet in a way, theyre business in the back and party in the front with that chrome bumper.
