Two more P-16's, the huge backhoe in the background is a Komatsu 1100, undergoing conversion to a log loader.

What the heck is that big framework on the gooseneck?

ITs for power line clearance, when you are moving a grapple yarder say 144, you boom down on the bracket on the lowbed then you lower the gantry and it sits on the boom.And you get your clearance and still can move the lowbed. Otherwise you have to get off the lowbed and boomdown on logging truck trailer to get under the lines. Both of them are pain in the ass moves, the lowbed one just least painfull if you have many crossings.

That's an interesting truck, still going hard, looks rough, the way I like them.

This could be a dumb question, that I can find out elsewhere. But what year could it have been built? And I wish I could get pictures like you Clint, your an inspiration for my photography.

Thanks! That truck is a '91, I think. They quit building them in '92.

Ah, makes sense, I didn't know that they lasted so much longer than Hayes. Why did they quit manufacturing? And your welcome!

I well remember stamping and installing the aluminum Pacific Truck name plates.By the time I got there in 1977 we only used them on the trailers..

Deluca truck and Coulson dump truck

Not too sure what the story is with this truck, the serial number badge says that it is a model 4640-S from 1963, but the hood says that she is a P10. I would be very curious to see what the permanent serial number on the frame says. More information and photos here: http://www.pacifictruckclub.org/RegDetail.php?SN=T6360-214

The Coulson dump truck in previous photo and the logging truck in the Pacific truck ad are the same truck ordered new by Bud Deluca of port alberni.

I think I have one that you may have stamped, 1978.

 

[diamondtguy]

Quite possible.There were around 4 of us that did the primary assembly of the P-16's.We also did all the trailers..

075, Did you see this old Pacific P16 preload LLL unit #T305 when you visited LLL shop last time. It got the old cab.
By the way I met Ian in summer 2007. We had a little chit/chat about "mobile slaugther house". He thought the Duke might be interested(I was in that business back in 2007) sadly we never heard from the Duke.

When I was in there two weeks ago I counted 30 plus trucks before I lost count,that not counting all the other smaller trucks and trailers and such. Heres a picture of Englewoods Pacfic low bed. I never got a good picture of all the trucks in Dukes shop need to fly over it to see them all

075; I know what you mean. Lot of equipment/stuff to discover. I spent only one hour but I could stay there for days so much to see, I lost counting as well in 2007. In 2010 I just made a U-turn - and just took a few pics
