Very nice pictures Hank Funny how the "HAPPY FACE" tires dates them!!! The yellow one pictured above also has them BUT She has Re-cap tires on the steering axle wonder if that was the norm for some outfits . We for sure never ran them on there but some drivers didn't mind them at all Once again individual choice. Also the two M&B or ex M&B trucks are both towing "I"Beam reach trailers Kind of dates them also Nice to see them though Thank You

HDX, now for the rest of the story, I-beam trailers what year would they be??. I never looked that close to notice, and who built them???

Strange CL350ST - prototype??

Here is a very interesting picture of a CL350ST. Look at the frame - it is a straight frame. I have never seen this before - it might be a prototype. Can anyone explain or tell the story of this truck? It seems she got M&B colours!

Set up for a rock box maybe

Looks like Macks version of a Pacific P12 or Hayes HD...A very versatile truck.Would be nice to get more info on it or more pictures..

I'm pretty sure it's just an M40/45. The likley base for the CL350.

It would appear you are correct..I found 6 pictures of M40/M45 trucks on the net.I didn't CSI the pics but they appears to be the truck in question..One truck had a rock box on it and a few were prime movers.Same kinda work the P-12's and HD's were suited for..

The pics all belong to some one's collection so I left them alone...

Ben46a; I don't think so. Frames on M series are much wider and I-beams are much higher than on this CL350. I agree that the cab is the same that were used of most of the M-series. Some had just one windshield and The cab was not as wide as on cabs with two front winddows like this. I think it got the frame maybe from an offhighway DM800 model or it was special made - some kind of prototype. Or it could be the "missing" unit#27 - see post #65 at this thread. But still we need some answers

Done working.

Looks like its the end of the road for old #100

Where did they take it to ? I seen it down at the barge ramp in Port McNeill about a month ago. Was hoping it was going to be rebuilt

 

[Greatwestcam]

Saw it at Stillwater, both H200 & H300 are still working... for now.

How many CL 350 were there at one time working 50?? or less.

Hank, 27 CL350ST were made. 9 in 1976, 5 in 1977, 2 in 1978 and the last 11 were build in 1979. I guess that over half of them are still working. For further info please see post #1 on this thread.

I must of had a gray moment, why I did not read all the posts first . very interesting. Is there a reason as to why they did not sell more.

 

[Hayesno1]

I think there was no market for them at that time, but I am not sure. They came a bit late just like the Challenger. I think HDX has explaned why in this forum, but I can't find which thread.

Was up at our Air Port this morning and was talking to a Helicopter pilot, that was working on the Queen Charlotte Island in 2005 and he gave me these pictures. The logs each weighted over 18,000 lbs. ???

Wow some real great looking logs, talk about putting a load on fast!
