I got these B&W photos from our old ,great and late friend Roy Johnson . He was a great logger great friend to all , he should have writen a book of the tales he entertained us with. one was how he was running a loading pot with Raymond" Jumbo" Jones head loading use to build loads high enough to take the telephone wires out between the shop and the dispatch shack across the haul road on top of the truck sheds. They raised the wires up a foot they built the loads a little higher. the shop crew finally clued in after several repairs and raised the wires ten feet.Scan17.jpg

camptramp; Great Pictures. Thank you for sharing. Here are 2 old BCFP Hayes HDX trucks. 1st. pic is old #215 from 1960 sn#0012116. It's a HDX 32-80 model. Next 4 pics shows 1963 Hayes HDX line truck sn#3052466. These Pictures were taken in 2005. In 2010 it was all most scrapped. I don't know her BCFP unit no. Maybe camptramp can ad some information.
