Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
I'm seeing a lot of sweet old iron in here but there's a serious lack of Pacifics.
Made right here in North Vancouver until the early 90's

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Some big time Heavy Haulers there.
Were any Detroit powered?

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Can't remember if this was on here before or not, but here's the first video of a Pacific build. I'm sure you can find the rest.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Don't forget the Hayes trucks that started it all on '22..."The Bear". In '69 they sold out to Mack who sold to KW in '75 who shut them down. Pacific was started by former Hayes employees in '47 and sold to International in '70. They kept it till '81 when they sold it to a company in Singapore. Last Pacific was built in '91. What was left of the business (parts,etc) was sold to CCC out of Oklahoma who sold the Pacific name in '02 to an outfit back in British Columbia
Big Hayes 6x6

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
That is really one load of logs. The average person out there most likely does not know just how heavy a log is, especially green.
That truck must have one heck of a set of springs. It hardly looks loaded.

That thing in front of the bumper is for attaching it to the rear of another truck to make a 'road train' There's some cool photos on the intraweb of 4-500ton loads on the move with 3 or 4 trucks that size in series.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Here are a couple trucks that sit about 20 miles from my house. The first one (the white one) is their tow truck. The International is pretty chopped up. The badge on the side of the international says "200" so I'm guessing it's an R200 cab and that's where the wheels, tires, suspension, and rear end came from. It has some sort of V8 in it but I'm unsure what kind as I'm unfamiliar with IH motors (if that's what it is).

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Tim------Thanks for the links to Pacific history. One very heavy duty truck.
Studda------IH rat rod engine is probably a 549 cube, although they also had a 477. |

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Here are a couple custom jobs. Definitely weird. The two are combinations of cab overs with conventional hoods. The other is beyond me.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
All 3 are actually.
The truck in the top picture is determined not to run out of fuel...

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
It looks like, on the first one, that they used two cabs to make one single cab. It still has the door on the back one even.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
The crossbred GMC in post 519 was at the Pocono truck races back in '82 or 83 when they held drag races and qualifying for the oval race on Saturday with the big race on Sunday. MH 9500 with 8V71 under the hood grafted to Astro cab, grafted to KW hi-rise sleeper.
Keep in mind those tanks ain't all for fuel on an RV. You need fresh water, gray water and black water [AKA sewage} besides diesel fuel, and maybe propane for the water heater and kitchen stove in the typical RV. We've been trailering since the early '90s. Post # 524--------Jimmy Diesel to the rescue in the neat KW, geared to move anything . |
