- Bits and bones of logging trucks,Thousands of log trucks have ended their careers hrere, and because of B.C's tough terrain. Kenworth log truck, hayes log truck, pacific log truck
I’ve worked as a wrench in some of the camps.
It was glorious. The trucks were a big part of it.
The tanks behind the cab are massive and must be coolant for brakes.
I hadn’t seen em on off hi-way but were common on Washington trucks back in the day.
People will never know.
Another great find and great video. Is always a shame to see these old classics fading away.
Holy mother of god, the spring pack on the back of the Hayes is ridiculous.
Ellipticals, heavyweight stuff
I worked at Scott paper. Logging camp at Lester wa. Early 70’s . Log truckers had a 100 gallon water tank behind the cab . Driver turned the valve on before departing the logging site (landing) . The water was directed over the brake drums on the trailer !!! They looked like they were on fire going down the mountain !! Stream rolling off creating a 50 foot long plume of steam !!
still standard thing here on the off highway big trucks.
Thanks . Where you at skadill ?
@@normfreilinger5655 Fraser Valley, BC
sad to see all that classic iron go to waste like that
Really surprised to see the seatbelt @:45 ... was thinking the truck to be older ???
I love those old trucks. Used to drive a old hayes with ol Detroit and pacific with k model Cummins for my old boss. They weren't fast but they would pull
I some how missed this vid from the years I have been subscribed.....or maybe I forget it! Hahah
History, history history, document it!
Wow..wow!
Thanks for the watch BC friend
man think about how many board feet been hauled between them bunks another super cool kind stay safe get logs
New sub here, love your videos! Awesome stuff!
Thanks, be safe and take care!
really a shame to see all the nice old trucks and machines just sitting in the brush rotting away , great old machines with lots of history there .
That's a good one, might of even drove the Forshner Bros. truck.
Somebody save that Detroit!
My uncle has several HDs and two clippers all Alberta logging trucks
Sure could use one of those Hayes cabs to replace my B Models log beaten cab in resto process.
Looks like very starting kits for a project truck for working on in the weekends
You can tell it's a Detroit by looking at thermostat housing plus it looks green. Is that plumbing in the cab for water-cooled brakes???
One day I want to do a roadtrip to BC and find some of these for info to build some detailed models
Really upsetting to see these appropriate fallen gains. Hope these were in my country
Hopefully those parts will at least keep a few other trucks alive, and maybe bring a few back.
a models and 2 strokes yeah
The meaning behind all good things come to an end 😔
Too cool, so much BC history there
Are you the buncher guy I've met and videod with Tolsons?
You'd have to experience the mosquitoes to fully enjoy the B.C forests......
Back in the 1980s I worked on a R 600 Mack and found copper pennies in the front brake hose fittings.Maybe the older trucks were safer to drive without front brakes.
Why was that
@@eaglewi If the front brakes lock up, you lose your steering. That's why some drivers would put copper pennies in the front axle brake hoses to shut off the air.
Primitive antilock brakes. Trucks didn't have to have steer axle brakes till 1980
we used dimes the front brakes were just to iffy and they would pull one way or the other alot in the winter. I drove a kw with a 3408 in it built in 1980 didnt even have front brakes at all
Anyone ever turn these old trucks into dump trucks? Seems like they would make nice haul trucks for road building.
Ya parts cost pickings and repair costs cost to move not easy nowadays
The Hayes hdx is my dream truck and it’s sad to just see them sit and rot like that
Go tow it out of there boss. I bet lots of those old jalopies would fire up with fuel and batts
If you want to see those trucks be restored to the their former glory, send em my way
thanks keep up the good work
good one...........................
Good thing that’s far, far away from me or I’d want to haul it all into my yard and just stare at it. The neighbors would not be as thrilled.
BTW, any hints about how to spot the differences between Hayes and Pacific? The relatively few examples I’ve seen use the same paint schemes (yellow w/green hood, etc.)
I bet there is less wires in that entire truck then the door of a 2020 big rig..
Good finds and I hate to see them go down too. A shame.
Still a lot of good parts left in that yard.
Are there any company's that restore these trucks and put them back to work
I would love to just restore them all day and hear them come to life when it rolls out of the shop
One,called Coast Powertrain.The big logging companies like Lemare lake logging,Holbrook dyson Logging,etc,rebuild an their own fleets regularly
I think T-617 is an old PCB truck.
funny no chrome wonder how they even drove it hahhahaa
No fiberglass noses or aluminum cabs, or frames, or wheels either! In logging, only steel (and Stihl) will do.
I’m seriously looking to buy, are you or they looking to sell?
Sweet old rigs and they look like a really cool revival
Onece they get striped their never coming back but some one might be looking for what is left its nuts the prices of equipment thease days wish dad never sold any thing 10,000 20.000 for jd 450 track loader you cant buy a pece of junk dozer for under 5000 and its a junk and people are geting it because decent newer stuff its nothing to spend 30,000 for decent 90s dozzer. Same as skid steers 20 to 100,000 its crazzy parts are nuts 300 for exaust for 40 year old crawler money pits even if you do your own work
That's a sad graveyard
Looks like a bone yard to me. From Alaska
Sad view :C
Cool lol
Are they just dumped in the bush?
It's a shame all that vintage iron will find it's way to China sooner or later....
If that stuff was around here it would be long gone ,scrappers will take it all
I've always loved old trucks, but I wasn't aware of Hayes or Pacific brands. Thought I knew almost all of em.
Then 'Challenger" log truck would be new to you as well
@@skadill you're right. Are these all Canadian-made brands?
@@donellmuniz590 Yes all were local designed and built for the BC rugged remote coast with timber as big as 20 feet across,no highway truck would survive the daily abuse.
@@skadill I suppose there is no hope for any of these trucks to get restored at ,by or for the museum on the Island?
Even if the museum were to act as a centre for volunteers to do the work?
What a shame
will thiers way
