I will venture to say that HDX accidently hit the 6 instead of the 2 and that this truck is one of the remaining 12V92 trucks currently sitting in a shop near by.Might even be in Parksville..Pictures would be very recent...
A friendly old timer is doing the work..

No H92 93 94 all had electric start That one did have the air starter tank still on it R/H side, however it was being used as a air tank, plumbed into the air system. Yes Cory, yesterday and yes at their new residence. It is being rebuilt .All the stuff on the front bumper has been deleted now so it is back to original style front bumper. Cotta brackets are still on there though

IMG_3585.jpg Not sure if it's a P16 or not, seen it rotting away in Mooya Bay near Gold River a few weeks ago. Were also a pair of Kenworth 850
s that looked brand-new working there.

My friend who took the pictures in Parksville told me about having a chat with a interesting fellow there and he mentioned the 12V92 powered truck being in a building getting worked on.

Has the Parksville fleet grown or still the same number of trucks ??

The fleet is still the same size for now, they are owned by Ron Coulson (Dane Enterprises) he started up a company called Hayes Heavy Hauling for the purpose of rebuilding and selling as heavy haulers. That friendly old guy is my Dad, Hugh Frechette (Hughie to some of you).

My friend Rob send me these pictures of a P-16 in Gran Cache Alberta at a Coal mine, mine is closed down for now and they finally moved the truck so he could get a picture of it for me. Looks like it could be a ex Premay truck.



Looks to me like big rubber on the drives????

You are most likely correct, it does look like it may have a straight frame.

The front mudflaps and paint scheme are correct for Premay. I may have a contact that may be able to get some more info on that unit, I'll get back to you in a couple of days.

Good news!!!!! IPL'S 153 is going logging again in Jeune Landing. One of our contract truckers has bought it to replace his that went over the bank two weeks ago. He is a real look after it type of guy so I know it is in good hands .Can't wait to load it
