Sicard Trucks
    Many Sicard Sanivan bodies were mounted to Sicard T-Series motor trucks, a heavy-duty cabover with four-wheel drive and a choice of gasoline or diesel engines. These massive municipal workhorses were also the platform for their Snow Master snow blower series and Master Flusher, which were common sights in the sanitation departments of many Canadian and northern U.S. cities. These vehicles were adaptable to a wide variety of chores when properly equipped. Although this chassis was not specifically engineered for refuse trucks, Sicard may rightly be considered the first North American company to offer complete refuse trucks (cab/chassis and packer body), years before the Gar Wood T-100 or Lodal EVO models which didn't arrive until the mid-1960s.
