Sure do...I remember all of this....On the very bottom page is a pic of the shop at work.On the far left is the foreman in a white shirt talking to a guy leaning/working on a engine.I am the guy working on the engine....
Pretty sure this was the era when we were pushing the new Pacific cab P-500's and all of those trucks were built for dealers.Times were changing and the off hwy stuff was really slow....

That blue HDX there is ex BCFP unit number 6-247. The hydraulics should be still mounted under the truck bunk for lifting the bunk to hook up to the lowbed. Although it looks like a Pacific, It is a Hayes These all belong to Gary Horseman.. Sure is a sad sight to see them like this. I am quite sure they will not be cut up or scrapped. there is too much of them there for such a thing to happen. They are being used as parts to keep a few of the others running. Would have to look then over in person to identify some of the others. The HDX with the stripes on the front bumper was a Warren Trousdale truck

certainly no expert on vintage Pacifics but If I had to guess I would say a early to mid 70's P-12.I don't believe they had a P-10 then...

I would guess that it is a 1967 to 1969, I will do some digging and see what I can find. The first P10 that I have a record of was a 1965, the 268th truck built for Jorgensen Ventures Ltd; the P9, P10, P14 and P16 were all products of 1965, not sure when the first P12 hit the scene...
