If you look at trucks and trailers early 1970's and older the stake tops were finished like that . Trailers delivered to Renfrew Div. spring 1980 were square to the top.

Could this Clallam Bay? There was a similar photo of this in the Loggers World's book about the Centennial of CZ (1870-1970) They hauled from the sort yard ten miles to the dump at Seiku.

Camptramp,checkout thread #13 and first picture of Post.195. Did BCFP get any new Pacifics with mufflers under the cab? In my mind this was a poor place for mufflers unless temperature was -10 or colder. By then we were home.

BCFP trucks I drove or seen had mufflers on the right front water tank from factory or were inside ladder on water tank both sides if truck was converted to V12-71 Jimmy from V8 Cummins in camp .

Wasn't 1973 the first year of the new style low-mounted door handles? If so, that should put at least that new, unless the driver's door was later replaced with the new-style. Great photo.

The BLk prince bless his soul , has touched base with an old friend Hakan Andersson ( and a dam fine mechanic on anything you can find in Logging Camp ) who is sharing his pictures with us . Looks like Nitinat Camp winter of 1968 - 1969

Hakan A. Nitinat , a picture of Madill's combination High Lead Yarder , Loader .

 

[camptramp]

Hakan A. Nitinat an interesting Skagit loader SJ-4 ? This loader and the Madill yarder / loader ,were owned by contractor Bert Brown , the HDX Hayes logging truck is Irving Olsens #1

I set chokers on that Madill duplex yarder/loader. That was 48 years ago.
Those where the good old days when at about 5:00AM Trunk road in front of where Domans built their office by the Royal Bank was like Grand Central station with crummies loading up.
I also remember the winter of '68. There was about 3ft of snow right in downtown Duncan.

dunwurken,I have more pictures of "the combination" posted and they show 2 cabs. The doors are on the back in true Madill style. So far there is no one who remembers much about the combo. I would say this is pictures of the first setting. New cabs are also straight on the front.

There were two cabs on the one I set chokers on. Do you think it's a completely different machine or did they star out thinking they could do it all with one operator then modify it later. I think it was BC Brown's son ran one or probably both yarder and loader at times. I do recall that you could loose your teeth if the loader moved in the landing while you where trying to do up a choker out in the backend. It's taxing my memory but I also recall if we got a certain amount of loads by Friday noon the rest of the day was amateur day. The engineer would come out and set chokers the RS would run yarder. The chaser run the loader the junior chokerman would chase and after an hour or two everyone would switch again.
Were are you other pictures posted. I do seem to recall seeing it before. Something doesn't look right with #353

 

[Blk prince]

I was told that only one machine was ever built. I got to Nitinat in 1968 and it had 2 cabs then. I did hear a story of one cab but did not work. All the time combo was in Nitinat,Skip Baker ran loader and Stan Medd was hooker. Not sure of the year but we lowbed dead her to Coleman for a trip up coast and never heard of it again. I would like to talk to Bill Foresster about her as he could fill in the blanks.

I found the 2 cab configuration in posting 150. That's what I remember. I have no idea how they thought they could run both the loader and yarder from the same cab but it looks like they tried. They just didn't add another cab but took the single side door cab off and put two "Madill" cabs on. Lot's of blind spots!

Then there was Brown's crummy. Old bread truck with a plank down each side to sit on. I don't even think it had any windows.
