Sure would look cool with the Pacific Cab Visor (Blue)to set off the cab colors. By the way We DID notice the 8th drive tire LOL

Guess it is time to start posting pictures again. After seeing the picture Blk prince posted of himself with his new P16 so many years ago, So many memories came back. I remember so vividly, him when he first got her, and how very proud he was of it. I knew that feeling myself, as did a lot of other guys around the logging industry. Was something we will never forget. Will look through the box's and see what falls out for your viewing pleasure.

Nice...I remember the trucks..As they were preloaders I would have spent a lot of time on them.Other than the assembly I also (by choice) did all the hydraulics on the preloaders.
I also ruined two sets of interior rear panels when I had the torches in the trucks bending the subframe and fifth wheels levers..I was so pissed at myself (as was my boss) I redesigned the whole way we did things.I approached the Foreman with my idea and he told me to take it to the engineers..I will tell the story after I have some dinner..
Also notice that H135 appears to be changed to square headlights later (black paint)
Is that Cedar ????
