so which one do we take ? if all can be ID , I suggest the most rare |

The middle one is an International Harvester Cargostar |

left one looks like a White, the right one looks like another White... but I am not a truck expert |

That's what I was thinking, but I'm no expert at trucks, just the models I've looked into. |

The Whites both look like Road Xpeditor IIs, but the one on the right looks like it's from after Volvo bought White. |

• Left: the rounded flared wheel arch and the cab shape make me think about a 1961-69? White Compact (or a Diamond Reo sibling?). • Middle: 1976-82 COF 5370. According to the linked brochure, a specialized waste truck made on a Paystar chassis with a Cargostar cab. There are at least 2 others in the IMCDb (here and here), so it could be worth to start the category? • Right: 1976-80 White Road Xpeditor 2 (a 1980+ Volvo White grille would have the diagonal bar in it). |

A Cargostar is not rare, but this one has a garbage-hauler-special front end. |

It's not a Cargostar, it's a COF 5370. As said above, it is a Paystar chassis with a Cargostar cab and a specific grille, made from 1976 until 1982. Worth its own category, so let's create it. |
