Abstract
A method of assembling a refuse vehicle includes coupling body sub-assemblies to one another on a chassis after the sub-assemblies are painted. The body sub-assemblies are assembled from refuse vehicle body components. Each body sub-assembly is painted independent of other body sub-assemblies. After the body sub-assemblies are painted, the painted body sub-assemblies are assembled to one another on the chassis to provide a painted body of the refuse vehicle.
