Hayes trucks in the logging industry

[HDX]

Cory, Its just silicone that somebody put on when the door was last worked on some years ago. It is all gone now because I scraped it off. Originally the inner door panels were lined with a thin amount of sheet lead. This was on the last trucks built. It firmed up and added some weight to the doors. Once these door panels are put back on ,They hopefully wont come off again. Still trying to find Sheet lead but hard to source. That is why the inner panels are still off.

That dash is beautiful..Love all the old jewel lense red lights..I remember those lights from Pacific...Unstamped plate,the big bear..All I can think about is building a truck around that dash.....

I was just re-reading the post about sheet lead. If HDX has not sourced any there is a supplier in Burnaby. Metal Distributors. Here is there website. Rolls of lead sheet from 1/64th up to 2". I am over there next week and can bring some back with no trouble.

Well I finally found some old treasures from Copper Canyon in '69 and one from the Mac & Blo haul road 1982. H271 is featured in 69 and 82. My sister knew a fella from BC Forest service and she told him of our family's logging background and he gifted her with these pics.

Here is the shot of H271 on the haul road that wouldn't fit on the other post. Same truck, older paint.

I sure hope this brings back some memories and more great stories. I have been through the different log truck sites and have not seen these before. Hope you all like them.

Here is a slightly better enhanced pic of the unloading. Does anyone know the length of those logs.

They all ended up in Japan for the Expo 70 in Osaka.

Beautiful. They sure were logs back then.

Maybe HDX can tell us a little about this old Hayes Anderson that I came across over at Harry Blackstaff's in Saltair. I've never heard of a Hayes Anderson... almost looks like it might be made from two or three different trucks... maybe only the cab is a Hayes Anderson. Looks like a gas motor... trans has an auxiliary stick with it... I have included the model (SW400W) and serial (510349) tags in two of the photos. Ever seen one of these HDX??
