Re: RCP Compound
It was a great day guys and I'm glad to have a wife that likes this kinda stuff! The logging truck is retired and will be taken home by the owner soon to begin a restoration next year. He relined her rear brakes on Wednesday and the rest is very mechanically sound(12V71 Detroit/Allison). She needs some cosmetic TLC and then it will resume it's former glory. I believe the truck is a 1973 and was bought new by BC Forest Products. It will be repainted to their colors, orange, green and white. BC Forest Products is long gone so this truck will be another tribute to a time long lost.
The dump truck is another friends truck(building the mini HD for him). He has a road building company and although he uses Cat ADT's mostly now, the Hayes and KW trucks he has still see use on occasion. This particular truck attends shows during the summer and is kept very nice as you can see. He was using it to help repair a landslide on one of the haul roads yesterday. Cool old iron!
