While we're at it, does anyone know the model/trade name for the garbage compactor on the back?

Doesn't look like the folks at Classic Refuse Trucks have seen this one yet.

1960-61 C-Series, possibly a C-60. I went back and forth from that first thumbnail so quick I didn't have enough time to read the cowl insignia.

1960 only parklamps, indeed.
But:
- one can read "80" and "Chevrolet" plus a 7 letters word underneath ("Spartan", so , as "Viking" is shorter ;) ) on the fender. Viking trucks were the 1958-61 medium-duty (50 and 60) models of Chevrolet while Spartan trucks were the heavy-duty (70, 80, 90 and 100) ones.
- it's an L-Series, the LCF (Low Cab Forward) series of the 1960-66 C/K Series truck. To see the difference: 1960 C-80, with low fenders and "thin" hood vs. 1960 L-80, with higher fenders and "thicker" hood.

⇒ 1960 Chevrolet L80 Spartan. (Or L-80 Spartan, so it can be found near the L-Series when searching by clicking on the L of L-80?)
