Sad to see the days of security & pride gone.....
well said` covers a lot of groundSad to see the days of security & pride gone.....
This truck and a number of her sister trucks are all Mack LMSWL trucks 1949-1950 from Great Central Lake (Later became Sproat Lake Division) of MacMillan Bloedel. The problem with these model trucks was always the cabs, Would not stand up to the rough conditions they were used in and they tended to break up. The decision was made to send a number of them over to Hayes in Vancouver and they modified their Hayes cabs to fit these Mack trucks and this was the end result. Although this truck has been heavily modified over the years, The Mack 65,000 rear ends were replaced with 46-40 rear ends and the HD Hayes fenders but still retains the original rad and hood as well as fuel tank. I believe the original Mack Main trans is also still in her alsoView attachment 266260 View attachment 266261 View attachment 266262 View attachment 266263 Here is an old Mack truck with a Hayes cab. The front windows are all most square compared to standard Hayes front windows. It looks odd. I think it is an old M&B truck from Sproat Lake division - HDX will know for sure. I have seen several B&W pictures of her - maybe here on HE or Hank Sudermans website.
Thanks HDX - allways great with your wisdom/feedback.This truck and a number of her sister trucks are all Mack LMSWL trucks 1949-1950 from Great Central Lake (Later became Sproat Lake Division) of MacMillan Bloedel.
