I made a check of Elk, California which I found was located about twenty eight miles south of Fort Bragg on the Mendocino coast of California. This would lead me all the more to say the truck is yellow and black. Very rugged coastal area and the rigs were painted in high definition yellow a lot of times so the could be spotted more easily from the air if they had an accident or some other emergency. These logging companies out here on the coast usually had a chopper of light aircraft at their disposal for emergency use in the woods. Pacific Lumber Company of Scotia, California had three emergency choppers which were stationed at the various mills from Scotia down to Philipsville, and two light aircraft stationed at Rhonerville airport up by Fortuna. Nice William, thanks for the thoughts, might just have to go that route with one of the many IRC needle nose tilt hood resin kits i have. Ap40 |

My Dad, Darwin Christiansen's earlier trucks were black and white with almost the same paint except the black on the fenders came up to meet the stripe at the nose in the common old paint scheam then later switched to how the above KW is painted and these were all cream and red...and all of his cats n loaders were yeller (haha  ) |

My latest issue is that it seems that the Dads front bunks (on all his trucks…that I have pics of) sat lower, about 4? inches closer to truck frame…making them level with the trailor set… either modern setups have the trailor a bit lower or this is another AMT flaw?? any thoughts?
