It’s a IHC KB8 or KB10 or even bigger model. I must say I prefer snow and cold instead of rain and fog. Weather has changed badly in Denmark and around the world. Sorry to say but here in Denmark it is seldom we get snow in Winter anymore.

That preload trailer was probably a BCFP trailer new around 1979-1980 at Renfrew Division .
I am sure you are right - at reach you can see 52-57 is welded in to reach and there are several spots where you can see the original orange paint.

Pacific hooked to a bobbed lowbed up Harrison Lake in BC. If I remember correctly, 1968 vintage, rebuilt a few years ago. They shortened the lowbed to make some tight corners getting onto the bridges. Cam7386C198-FBC6-46F6-AD43-1B608A585A60.jpeg
