Logging Camp Truck
 

This is how We find some of our Trucks on the west Coast of Canada
Last pic is the spot the Trucks are located there is a Few More .This is were the ford Lynx was pulled out of the Bush and then restored By Brook Quan of the CMEC Museam in Chilliwack

Well, the first and second are both Studebaker US-6's. Can't tell on the third.
Funny place to see a Studebaker though. I know they were used on the Alcan Alaska Highway.

Which lake is that Jeff?

Third pic looks like a fifties GMC

The third one is the M135/M211 series. Interesting to see two trucks from different periods abandonned together. I'm not sure when the Studebaker might have been surplusssed but Canada kept their M135s until the 80s.

There's an old logging camp at the north end of Indian Arm with at least 3 cab 13's lined up.

I saw them as I was 'just passing through' back in the early 80's - the Navy had dropped us off at the head of the inlet and we tabbed north for 3 days, emerging from the bush a little past Squamish.

I'm pretty sure that the logging road is still nominally passable, so we should plan a bush-bashing road trip, Jeff!

There were e several camps up stave lake that used old Military equipment up into the 1970s. A friend of Mine worked in a camp were the transport or Crummy was a White half track. also they used the Tank transporters to haul loads of Wood out of the Bush.and also Hi Speed gun tractors as portable spar Trees.one is still sitting on the shore there.

Rob we can go up Indian arm closer to the summer to explore a friend of mine has a boat and loves to explore.

Any carrier armour up there?

Interesting picture Jeff; looks like a rare M6 Hight Speed tractor chassis.

Alex

Yes it is .The M6 does not seem to be that rare around B.C due to the amount of Logging in the Area.
If there was Carrier Armour I would have pulled it out years ago.
Jeff

Is this what one would call a logging truck? Well it involves a log and a truck!

Phil...

Ouch!!

Glad I wasn't sitting in the drivers seat.

But I can see the ad for it.
 

Seeing the truck with the tree across the cab, the thing that jumped in to my mind was how it would be listed in car finder or any of the for sale listing.

Ran when parked.


Cheers Phil (north)

Maybe ...
 

C60x
 

I don't have a picture but that big storm we had a few years back crushed the cab of a very nice restorable C60X when a tree crushed the cab. A big healthy tree! Personally i prefer to cut them down before they fall down.

I'd say a logged truck . . . :)

Well how about:-

A one time offer... special logging truck package deal complete with its own log!

Hurry... limited time only!

Ok, how about....
"For sale; Studebarker military truck with the rare three-on-the-tree shifter"? :doh:
David

It even comes with its "LOG" book! :thup2:

Phil...

The river gets pretty 'thin' once the snow's off the mountains, but sure, that'd be a hoot! Count me in....

From my 4X4 trip last long weekend, water hauler at an old back country log yard:

Another old girl, rotting away in the bush...:

Attachment 45402 Attachment 45403 Attachment 45404 Attachment 45405

And some other toys at the old logging camp...4 hours from no-where, and apparently not for sale.

Land rovers galore...there are at least three times the amount pictured:

Note the modified trailer under the boat:

And this little gem which I wasn't permitted to rescue:

Attachment 45408

And a non-military oldie, past her prime, but still full of potential:

Attachment 45409 Attachment 45410

And what better than an Iltis (friend's) for the BC backcountry recce?

Attachment 45411

Dang
 

The trailer under the boat looks like a modified 20 cwt trailer and I need a spare wheel!

I'll reveal the locations of the goodies...for a fee!

Looking at the bulletholes makes me sad, and even worse 20 years ago i probally would have been the guy shooting.
