This picture I had a hard time getting to a smaller size for some reason.

A small pic. doesn't do it justice. Very nice trucks for sure.

Does anyone by chance have any photos of wrecked trucks or in similar states of disrepair

 

[Welder Dave]

I think if you go through this thread there's some pics. of trucks in less than ideal condition.

I--also known as mr. negative had a complete file of wrecked and totally mangled trucks of
all kinds. But it just so happens I deleted it about three months ago to make room for another
folder. There were some dandy's in that folder, I never posted very much of it because it didn't
express a kinder gentler nation and would stir people up,, and we can't have that can we.

Is there a way you can send me that folder or photos? I'm working on a college project and that would be perfect for a section I'm doing on then and now and untold stories of lost giant's

Sounds like he's deleted it mate.

Sorry--but like said above I deleted that folder. All I have are a few OTR's left that belonged
to the company I worked for. I'll post those under Thread {Any Brand Log Trucks}.

A shop I worked at also ran a body shop. I have seen some horrifically crashed trucks Some of the drivers did not do well. I would not like to see pictures of that.

One of our customers had a fleet of KW logging trucks. They bought a new truck from us and when we were getting it ready the driver told me he was going to drive for three more years then he would be 70 and then he was going to retire. He told me that at 70 he would have driven a logging truck for exactly 50 years.
A few days later he crashed the truck coming down a mountain with a load on. He survived with only minor injuries. When the truck was towed to our shop I was amazed that anyone could have survived in it. the logs slid forward crushing the cab. I still think it must have been divine intervention. They had to use the jaws of life to get the driver out.

BC logging - not a matter of if you flop a truck, it's a matter of when. Grew up around loggers and there are very few lifetime haulers that haven't smacked up a truck a little bit.

 

[Rayden]

is this a pacific? Or if not could anybody tell me what it is?

Looks a Mack cab to me..

 

[Truck Shop]

Mack had a wide cab split windshield, FWD & Oshkosh used similar with no split on most.
Thing is all three shared same cabs-not even sure the cab was fully Mack manufactured.
It looks like Mack cracker box construction. Funny thing about Mack, if Mack was even
remotely proud of it, it said "Mack" on it about 20 places with some spaghetti, bread sticks,
caesar salad with Volare or That's Amore playing in back ground. If not, it would not say
anything on the outside and have tiny tag covered by 4 coats of paint and need a
microscope to read it.

 

[crane operator]

The cab looks like two old CCC (Crane Carrier Corp) single cabs married together.

But the picture looks like europe to me.
