Sure wish I had one of those for a dump truck. Could haul a lot more than 10 or 12 yds. and lots of ground clearance.

When HDX was introduced they had Hayes Clipper doors see attached picture but only 6-8 HDX had that kind of doors before. I know HDX knows the details. Clipper doors were used on the first Hayes COE model as well. Picture #3. Pic #2 is Cameron’s Hayes Clipper. Very nice and awsome truck.

Oh yes I met him once as well in Wahington when he was heading back to BC. Great guy. I think it must have been in 1986

Can't remember his name--but he and his wife were found murdered, a real sad deal.
IIRC his first name was Arnie. Maybe not.

Got a screenshot of this awesome rig while watching a series of videos on YouTube. Wonder what a rig like this would weigh

Came across these while viewing a Hillcrest Lumber Mesachie Lake photo album recently posted online by Nigel Robertson. Not sure of the year of manufacture of these two old girls... but I think truck number 4 is from the late fifties... a classic! Guessing number 7 is an early HDX and number 4 is a WHD. Thoughts anyone?

Yes both are early Hayes as they got square windows doors. No#7 is an HDX and No#4 is a HD. Awsome pics

#4 was a 1953 HD originally ordered by L Traer through Hillcrest Lumber and for whatever reason, Stan Hallorin Got it. Not sure but think Hillcrest Lumber might have had something to do with the Ordering /Purchasing of some of these trucks and equipment. Maybe somebody down that way knows how it worked... #7 was ordered by Hillcrest and lettered with #7 on the doors ...For sure was a March/1957 HDX, and it did come with the 4600 rear diffs and 12 foot bunks,

Either 18" or 24" stakes. The first move from cheeseblocks. Timber is getting "smaller"....
Good photo.
