Athey bought Mobil Sweeper from American Hoist & Derrick Co. in 1976 - http://www.classicrefusetrucks.com/albums/AY/AY01.html That said, I'm not sure if they were sold as "Athey Mobil" or still just plain "Mobil." /vehicle_31906-Athey-Mobil-M8-A.html would suggest at least some carried prominent Athey branding. -- Last edit: 2012-09-02 19:53:56

Your right that the ones from Athey carried some prominent Athey branding, though the grill was also branded "Mobil Sweeper" on it, not just "Mobil" like this older one.
