1967 Bowles Top-Pack / White Compact
Owned By Southern California Disposal
Santa Monica, California

Documented by Bill Tetreault Special thanks to the Kardashian family and everyone at SCD for this look at some of their classic iron     Unable to obtain another top pack from Bemars, SCD turned to the S.Vincen Bowles Co. of Sun Valley, who produced this nearly identical copy of the Bemars. Mechanicals are the same; White Compact CO with V8 gasser engine and automatic transmission. Unlike the Bemars, this truck came with over-the-cab lift arms as original equipment. This special-order truck is the only Bowles top-pack ever documented here at CRT, and it is probable that this truck is a "one-of-kind" from Bowles. Finding any working Bowles from 1967 would be remarkable find in itself, but this rare truck is especially nice!
