Those three Euclid trucks give me flash backs to the R-35 haul trucks we had at the quarry for a few years and were passed around to other quarries over the years. 12V-71 Detroits screaming away! Especially when dumping as there were no mufflers. The dump bodies acted as a muffler until you raised to dump then it was straight out the pipe just to the right of the cab!

I went into Chamiss Bay mid 70s to work on an American log loader . They had some Euclid log trucks parked in there.
Im taking a wild guess on the above picture,the Euc s look like they are parked in the old Cattermole Yard in Chilliwack

I have been helping my brother build a truck. If it wouldnt have rained today i would be welding the cab protector together . He wants to put a picker on it and we have some found.

Premay has a couple I think. Seen one during the Fort Mac fire, parked on the side of the highway with a blown engine. Was trying to get a D10 into town to build fire breaks.

Old man Piggot owned Pacific Car and Foundry and bought Kenworth in 1946.
Mark Piggot the son was over it up until about 8 to 10 years ago.

Where was the first Kenworth factory? Kenworths were built in Canada in
Burnaby in BC and in Montreal Quebec and Seattle when I started working on them.

 

[Former Wrench]

I think the first plant might have been in Renton; south of Seattle.

Correct Renton---Originally started as Gerlinger in 1915 to 1917, then became Gersix to 1923 when
it became Kenworth.
Also built in New Jersey, Ohio and COE's in Tennessee plus Mexico for some years now.

A photo I took of what's left of a 1927 Kenworth, oldest I've seen in the wild.
