Chilliwack /Copenhagan ?????

MyothersanM1 Yes Dennis is a friend of mine and he has done an ecellent job of restoring those trucks Originally built in north Vancouver BC there was I think 6 trucks all capable of being coupled together They were painted red when new. After many years of service they became cost prohibitive...

Sorry NOT Hayes or Pacific We have BD91,000lb and then the heavier BD121,000 rear diffs as well as some of the heavier SPR (Rockwell 137) as seen in the picture of one of Dennis Childs Ultra Pacifics(Abnormal) in South Africa The Rockwell 137 now cost 2000 bucks for a brake drum because there...

Guy in Kelowna --Albert has a surplus store has a few trailers M 100?? M416 ?

Yotawheeler, You should roar up to Courtenay next weekend and scope out the two M139 Bridge trucks. Came out of a logging camp up the coast where they were used as fire tankers. They are a package deal (2 trucks) Way easy to build one classy unit out of the two .All hydralics and rear assys are...
