Haha, those trucks were built on the island too! One day I would love to build one of those to go with my 850 Kenworth....BUT, I have to build a Pacific P16 first(my Dad wants one), then a Hayes HDX, and then I can build a Challenger.lol After that I'd like to build a Mack CL350... I have a long list if each one of these trucks takes the same amount effort as the 850KW did! It would be a killer collection though.

Where did you get a copy of that mag at? I would like to get one to read. A friend of mine wrote the article, I guess I should have tried to bum a copy from him.lol

I've never seen that picture before. Those trucks were built on the island here about 3 hours from my house. Unfortunately for them, they came on the scene just as the logging industry was taking a major dive so very few were built. Interesting to see one modified into a tri-drive though. For serious heavy hauls that's for sure!

Yes it's an off-highway size truck. 14.00x25 tires. It looks like this truck might have Clark BD91000 rears so the track width would be around 100". Most of the ones they built for around here had bigger rears than that(probably 106" track). They started out building them as logging trucks but they also made a few for coal mining. I think the coal mining trucks might have had 18.00x25 tires and V12 power. The other brands that made off-highway logging trucks here used 16" frame rails but these trucks were either 18" or 20". They ended up building the trucks so heavy that most loggers didn't like them. The roads can only hold so much weight and the other trucks were built heavy enough already to not have many mechanical issues. Having a heavier truck for no reason was just harder on fuel and brakes.lol

Hey Mike, no worries. I was sitting here thinking about this and remembered that Cam(wrote the article) gave me a copy last July so I do have it. I wonder where I put it...
