    He bought two trucks over time. Both were black. You will notice one has Dayton wheels and one has buds..Mark would know which truck he still has..Here is a pic of one of them sitting in Pacific's compound..I do remember the trucks...

    Hayes trucks in the logging industry

    HDX...I see you are using band clamps on the pipes. My Grizzly exhaust and my Mustang (both cars) exhaust is 100% band clamps.. Stainless,perfect seal,more clamping power and unlike the standard clamp they don't crush the pipe...You can take it apart later..

    I heard a story years ago that Scadill posted some pics of some very old trucks on a Island..I have a pics. He disclosed there location and a scrap guy came in and took all the trucks..That mistake will never happen again...

    Hayes trucks in the logging industry

    From what I know about the Hayes HDX that's the they did the exhaust. Does 246 not belong Mr. HDX himself...That would explain the paint and the pipes...

    Grizzly Trucks

    Not Grizzly but it is my thread so....Shifter knobs for my 36 Diamond T 212BD..I put a Brownie 3spd box in it when I rebuilt the truck..Yes I paid dearly for the knob with the brass inlay.. .

    Grizzly Trucks

    Thats a ugly piston...I have heard they can lean out on the end cyl's due to the inlet on the intake.That is why I am making a dual inlet intake for mine..My friend put a dual inlet intake (Banks) on his Cummins Dodge truck and said it made a huge difference....The new engine Will should last...
