A self-propelled mechanical street sweeper comprising a production truck cab and chassis, the frame beams of which have been modified by removing rear portions thereof extending behind the rear axle. The sweeper comprises side brushes, a pick-up brush, a conveyor a hopper and rear suspension mounted above and forwardly but not rearwardly of the rearaxle. The conveyor means is mounted forwardly of the pick-up brush adjacent the rear axle of the chassis, and has a uniform width throughout its length, which width is substantially the same as the width of the pick-up brush. The rear suspension includes bias means mounted between the frame beams and the rear axle for biasing the rear axle away from the chassis, and connecting means pivotally mounted to the frame beams at a location forwardly of the rear axle for connecting the rear axle to the frame beams. The subject sweeper is less costly to build than a sweeper mounted on a custom truck chassis, yet it produces sweeping action comparable to a custom chassis sweeper, and it is capable of cruising comfortably at highway speeds. In a presently preferred embodiment, the subject street sweeper includes a high lift dumping mechanism, and an optional vacuum pick up having a vacuum head mounted behind the pick up brush for picking up any debris left by the pick up brush.
