The Maxon Legal One series of bodies has long been when of my favorites, ever since having my garbage occasionally collected by a Legal One manual side loader throughout my childhood. As such, the faithfully replicated reincarnations of the Legal One front-end loaders and automated side loaders built by F. F. Gomez have been high up on my must-see list for years. On all of my previous journeys to SoCal, I've managed to spot dozens of them out on the streets, but I never managed to be in the right place at the right time to catch one on video. Naturally, that made them one of my highest priorities on my most recent adventure, and on my very first day in California, I was able to catch this fine example doing its thing! This particular build of the F. F. Gomez Contender ASL is my absolute favorite, as it features the Sunbelt automated arm, making it a true throwback to the original Maxon ASL's. Being paired up with this Autocar Xpeditor WX64 cab and chassis, one could almost mistake it for a mid-90's Maxon ASL from a distance. I am beyond thrilled to finally be able to present one of these trucks here on my channel, and I hope you all enjoy it as well!
As always, a huge thank you goes out to the extremely friendly driver of this truck for doing a stellar job and allowing me to shoot some video!
