Old furnace cleaning trucks - Charlie B - 12-19-2012 I have been searching for a picture of one of the old furnace cleaning outfits that few of us will remember. I am talking about the ones that set up and the bag was the size of a small blimp that took up a couple of parking places. It was really quite a show, and of course, that was what it was, they never needed that big bag, but it was an attention getter. Anyhow, I want to model one and was hoping to find a picture so I could at least get close. Anyone remember these things? I'm sure they were gone by the 60's Charlie Re: Old furnace cleaning trucks - teejay - 12-20-2012 I don't remember them at all , Charlie , but if you want your "ducks cleaned " I'll pass your name along to Ramjeet and Ravinder ....they'll be calling you at all hours every day for a year . T Re: Old furnace cleaning trucks - Charlie B - 12-20-2012 I'm all ready getting hung up on by other telemarketers, might as well add one more. Seems I have more time to mess with them then they have to spare. Charlie Re: Old furnace cleaning trucks - teejay - 12-20-2012 I tried Googling for "old furnace cleaning truck " but the pics looked pretty modern to me ....not what I think you had in mind . T Re: Old furnace cleaning trucks - Charlie B - 12-20-2012 No, already googled, and binged. I'm sure there is a picture some where on the internet, but you have to hit the right search terms to find it. Charlie Re: Old furnace cleaning trucks - Ralph - 12-20-2012 I've had furnace and duct work cleaned by the modern trucks. The have a smaller version of the "blimp" in the back. I'd like to see one like you're talking about Charlie. Re: Old furnace cleaning trucks - Charlie B - 12-20-2012 Ralph, they were so huge, and loud too, and it was all for show too. I doubt they were any better than a heavy duty shop vac, but they looked so impressive. I sure hope I can find something.
