Memories for us old truckers

[Oxbow]

Back in the early 80's I spent 3 weeks on a produce haul to California, used to stop in here for a rest. Is that truck stop gone or still around? Got a few decals and put on my cooler

I stopped there occasionally in the 80s as well!

Thanks PP. You and Pops drove allot miles, know what I'm saying, not that others don't necessarily.
Below is a prefect restoration, hearing someone say how great it would look lowered with a drop
visor, double hump fenders was sickening. It's a piece of transportation history. Maybe after awhile
I will feel different and start posting on here again.

that would make me want to stuff a dirty week old sock in his mouth

I have a friend that went to the ATHS show in Reno and did enjoy it the amount of rat rods and drop visors is not his thing, sounds like he is done with the shows since the Yakima show he has been to them all.

If a old car,pickup or truck has been striped out missing a lot of parts that are impossable to find or it has rusted away to almost nothing its not so bad if someone wants to build it into something it wasnt.

Know nothing about these pictures just going through folders on PC

Wouldn't think there were that many Hy-Hoe log loaders on trucks but maybe?

Oct 2016 spotted this Pacific beside the Freeway west of Chilliwack, west bound.

My friend Mike was at the Brooks show and seen this Oshkosh. My thought is a power company was hauling to a remote location.

I did not expect to see this Oshkosh hauling those poles, certainly some thing different.

 

[Truck Shop]

Used what they had available I guess.

 

[Welder Dave]

Oshkosh my gosh. Oops that's for Oskosh kids clothing like overalls.

PNM, the electric utility in New Mexico, had several of those. I've seen one hauling poles, another with a cherry picker, and another hauling a massive trailer-mounted cherry picker. They've long since been removed from active service.

Not sure about these pictures but my thought is they were Hayes pictures.

Not sure about these pictures but my thought is they were Hayes pictures.

Can't find anything Hayes wise resembling those photos, nor IH, GMC, White, and so on.
Closest hood wise and grille 1935 KW.

My thoughts on Hayes was the frame shop looks like small truck builder, where as KW would have a much better larger shop and Hayes in late 30's and 40's would build 3 or 4 trucks a month.

 

[Hank R]

Not 100% but fairly sure this bus is a Hayes as it was in a group of Pacific pictures when I did my Pacific story.

My thought was Hayes used some KW parts in their shop, anything was possible back then.

If I'm not mistaken Cummins used to build buses.
