Kenworth Thread for 848--849--850

Hey, that's the old truck that my dad and I used to own ! We had that truck in 83 at Camp A in Nimpkish hauling for Canfor ! John Foster bought it and still owns and it is still working today. I passed it on the Nimpkish main last year when I was working for HDLogging, it was pretty cool to see it again and to have a BS with the driver. Thank you for posting camptramp And yes it is the same truck

I know this is an old post but here’s the truck as of today. Brought it in the shop and gave it a fresh coat last year.

It's nice to see these " Old Treasures " have been maintained and are still working hard . I don't know John Foster , but I take my hat off to him !

John “retired” about 14-15 years ago. He sold the company and trucks to Ivan Hall who had worked for John for some time. I’ve been here for 13 years. John still comes around every once in awhile and still lends advice on the trucks when needed!

I wouldn't mind having a big dump truck like that. How many dumps trucks does Ivan have? I see there's a Mack too.

My best wish's to Ivan Hall and crew . I hope the venture is profitable and you guy's are making a good living . Those "Old Bone Shaker's" were simple and Tough , like the times they were at their best .

Great to see one of the old Hayes HD. Does Ivan still has the other one?
