What was the standard wheel base of a HDX-1000? Were they different between a conventional and self loading types?
Might as well add these while I'm scanning old mags. If only they new how long they would still be going:thumbsup
Here are 2 pics I got from HDX yesterday. Pics were shot last week at Sarita. It is Dave Mills truck #7 a HDX from 1975. It was M&B unit H34. The last conventional built and went to the QCIs when new. 3 weeks later H17 preloader came off the assy line and the doors were closed forever.
Trackloader you must be happy to see her still going strong
Thanks HDX.
Hayesno1 That old "Lipper" was bought new by Tri-West Transport and when traded in was bought by M&B and went to their Nanaimo River Division and was numbered H54 and when her hauling days were done she along with some of her sister trucks had big water tanks put on them and they became FireTankers That is why you can still see her Fire Tanker # on the drivers door F147 As you know when they hauled logs they had an "H" for Hauling Department and when they were transfered to the Fire Dept they were given new #s with an F for fire dept. It was all an accounting thing for the books I know she looks to be in awful condition but with a little work she could be made to look very nice. After all she still runs and we drive her around --not very far but she still goes to the McLeans Mill Show every year under her own steam so she still has heart!!!
