The picture 075 just posted was the P16 that I posted the other day with the cab on the ground Unit#H275 What a shame to see such a nice truck reduced to that. What would cause anybody to do such a thing like that??

This was my old WHD Hayes 1966 model H229 Had a V12 N GM engine with a 8 speed Clark auto Trans behind it 90'000 Clark planetary rear ends. And a Johnson Bar beside the shift tower. had 8 forward speeds and 8 reverse speeds 13 foot wide logging bunks and a 50 ton Hayes trailer Truck would do 48 MPH. I have to tell you, Things happen pretty darn fast at those speedsIMG_0096.jpg PICT0077.jpg
