P16 in picture started out new at BCFP Renfrew Div. in 1979 as #6-263 , became #40-139 when Fletcher Challenge merged Renfrew Div with Caycuse Div. to become "Honeymoon Bay Operations" , then became Timberwest HBO Div. The BCFP Renfrew Div. P16 #6-263 was the second to last new P16 to be purchased for the Division .View attachment 202663 View attachment 202664 View attachment 202665 Post your Island Pacific Logging pictures, information, stories etc. #H159 Pacific P16 she is one of my favorites
The P16 in picture was the last P16 Pacific purchase by BCFP for Renfrew Div. in 1980 #6-264 . It was renumbered by Fletcher Challenge as the #40-140 .View attachment 202706 View attachment 202707 View attachment 202708 View attachment 202709 I´m glad to hear #H159 got a new “life”. Unfortunately I have never seen #H160 hauling a lowbed. These pictures of #H160 were taken at Hayes Anniversary show in 2012.

After Teal Jones took over TFL #46 along with most of the Equipment at HBO from Timberwest , Lyle Newton was in charge . A year or so into the transition Lyle Newton took over the Equipment and created Island Pacific Logging and became the principle contractor of Teal Jones HBO operation . Up until that of point all the Equipment still had the Timberwest numbers . After that point in time things started to change . While I was off with an injury the #40-140 P16 Pacific was taken from the Div. , the next time I seen it the engine and front bumper had been changed , it had been painted and the number changed .Thank you camptramp for filling in information on these trucks. I have some pictures of a Pacific P16 preloader with unit no #40-140 but I am not sure it is IPL #H160. I will see if I can found them and post them.
You have not been updated. Island Forest is a new contractor. Small outfit working in Sarita. Said to be a real good fellow. This is who Steve works for. He convinced the owner to put 4-5 off highways back to work. Good set of drivers and they get the wood to the beachIsland Forest? That’s a new Company name to me. No offence - a small contractor?
Blk Prince; thank you for clearing that out. When I saw your reply I knew right away that Steve posted some pictures earlier this year of Island Forest's Pacific trucks.You have not been updated.
