calscustoms; If your talking about the picture of the real one there is no stakes. They used "Cheese Blocks" in the old days. On this unit they simply chained the log to the bunks.

beetlebilt; What a great picture. Looks like an old EQ Mack and a Freightliner along side a Pete. Notice the 5 hole front aluminum wheels. Love it.

Tufftin that cabover you have in that picture is the 1973 Oregon Jaycee truck, I'm in the process of building it right now.

Bill;
That's great. Are you going to make a decal of the tree logo on the side?
How about some build pic's?

Rick.
We always thought that an LT was loaded sitting empty as they did weigh a bit with all the logging equipment and water tanks full.

My old LJ2DX rock truck was a real kidney puncher. 65K rears on triple frame, Mack camel back springs, spoke wheels on 12x24" rubber. Not even a air seat, ran in a quarry its whole life, even at 30 mph it still gave a sore back at the end of every shift.

Hi Mike: Here is a pic of the decal artwork I did for that tuck and an earlier cabover the Jaycees had. I'm planing on building them both.  Cheers: Bill |
