Thank you....Good story...It also happens to answer my next question as to weather H-94 was the truck in Alberta and it is..My friends son Steve Child (I believe you know his Grandpa, Bud Child) see's the truck quite often and last year they put a new 3412 in her. She is still going strong...
Thanks

HDX- am impressed with H-94 picture + box. You could handle that unit ! ! saf-t-danBlkprince That was a Bob Hoar picture taken at Cameron /division It would have been heading back to the bush from China Creek DLS Bob use to sit along side the mainline between Museum and Corrigan ML to take pictures as they went by both loaded and empty H154 came over from Sproat lake division when they went more to Highway trucks and Franklin was still hauling on the long haul Carmannah This would have been under the weyco flag. It was common for people to peel the weyco decals off. Some trucks never had them put on!!!! We both know of one for sure. This truck was later sold by Hayes Forest There was a picture of her at the R/B auction all painted up in yellow But that was done after she was sold by HFS. H154 came from the factory with the BCFP style rear fenders. These were not common
Back in my camp welding days any I had worked on, the bunk sat on what we called the cup & saucer with a split collar holding them on to a pin like an inverted king pin.
So I have a question for all you big truck buffs. I ran across a Facebook posting about a log trucks compensator broke and the dolly drove itself over the bank on a switch back pulling the truck with it. They were saying that if it didn’t have a turntable bunk and had a live bunk that the truck would have separated from the load and been fine. Do the big trucks of BC with their turntables have the live bunk feature where the bunk will separate if the load goes?
There are 2 types of pin, the split collar like Tugger talked about and the "T" style.
With the T style, you turned the bunk so that it was facing front to back and you were able to lift the bunk off of the truck. There was a corresponding slot cut in the bunk for the T to fit into. Most of the highway trucks that I have worked on all had the same style of bunk.
As far as your question about the fat trucks, the bunks will not come off of the truck. The truck will keep the bunk on if it goes on its side.
The thing about the Fat trucks is, they are so tuff that quit often all you need to do is put them back on their feet, maybe a new mirror and some minor damage, check fluids and such and away you go again.
I was trying to find a picture that I could put a link to, but ran out of time.
Don't think Americans need a passport to get into Canada. Getting back home is another matter I believe. You could have to stay here. d.d.
