What brand of truck is that in the last picture? It has some pretty nice lines for a logging truck.

I was staring at that pic as well....I am going to say that is a Diamond T....roughly 47 vintage.Mine is 11 years older but very similar.

Agree - looks like a Diamond T to me also.

Camptramp.you will go down in history as a legend.What an effort to collect all these pics and post them to share with all the old gearheads like me to savour.
My family always had one or more sawmills on the east coast of the USA so I have it in my blood too but nothing on the scale that I see here.I also worked in another sawmill in town here as a kid but it as still in my system and I for one want to thank you,I try not to miss these threads.When I say "here" I mean the east coast,I live in Connecticut now but I grew up in Maine.I mover here after I got out of the army and got married.Two mistakes,three probably.Ron G

camptramp,

Thank you!

That is the most remarkable collection of logging pictures that I've seen; pictures of just about every thing! That is a testament to the industry and the ingenuity of the men in the forest.

Thanks, again, for posting them.

Check third picture , Log is lifted off ground with "L HOOKS" . I worked with an old timer down at Sooke in the mid 1970's Ray Shambrook who had some great stories , one of them was when he was loading with "L HOOKS" at Elder Logging . He let go of his "L HOOK" at the wrong time and it ended up swinging into the logging truck's windshield .
