camptramp; you might be right that she is old #6-259. When I took pics of her way back in 2005 I could not find the old BCFP unit number. I'll have a few more pics of her. I will check and see if I have missed something.

hey there, chum eh interesting no one on his crew ever called him that, wes was around way before the 70's he started in the 50's along with other's, his machinery colors or company colors were green and white, he wouldtrucklog's down to muir creek log dump where malloch and mosley was for years, i never knew Mr, shaw in sooke but knew lewis knotts longtime logger and miner in sooke, along with fellow logger crazy donald razzo, my dad worked for pioneer logging and canadian puget sound timber and lumber a division of Rayonier canada (BC) limited, last i herd cragg creek logging left the area as did ipswich investments ltd and merrill ring inc of sooke and staverman logging and timber ltd, i never did figure out what ever happend to staverman or who they were owned by, or where there camp was located, Iv'ebeen out to muir creek a few times and have found old malloch mosley logging equipment out there, memories,thanks there for the info, i was looking for my old malloch and mosley cap,

Fred Staverman died and I believe his contract reverted back to WFP. His camp was located on Anderson road which is on the right before heading down Muir Creek hill towards Jordan River. Have not heard of any logging activity since. Well over ten years ago.

That's amazing HDX! We lived in Caycuse from 1963 to 1973. The other trucks Dad drove were 209 and I believe 219, but 213 was my favorite because, as a pre-loader, the front stakes sticking up when the trailer was loaded onto the truck gave it a "mean" look to a kid. The movie is on my Facebook account and it may be my privacy settings that's not letting it work. I'll give it another try from Facebook using a different link and see what happens and if that fails I guess I'll have to upload the movie to YouTube (which I don't really want to do).

That's me standing on the passenger side fender at the beginning of the movie and under the cab at the end. I'm 55 years old now. I wonder if anyone has a photo of what 213 looks like now restored?

Great video - I just saw it. I couldn't see on my I-pad so I had to check it out on my laptop. I have posted pics of her before at this thread and at Hayes thread, but I think she deserves it:)

Wow! Thank-you Hayesno1. She's a real "Show Truck" now! That's nice they went back to the old BCFP colour scheme (except for the white cab). Pardon my ignorance but is that tank for water or fuel?
