| This truck was originally a Fire Truck in
the East Brookfield, Mass area. I obtained it in 1981, added the tag axle
and then put it to work hauling logs from a “weekend” type project near my
home. That
project expanded and lasted about 12 years. More than a quarter of a million
board feet of logs were trucked to the local mill. I also used this rig for more
than just hauling logs. It also hauled my tractor around to various sites
during haying season. The motor is a 1954 — 261 C.I. Chevrolet motor. The
transmission is still the original 4 speed and the rear axle is a factory
original vacuum shift 2 speed. It has 8.25 rubber all around. The load
shown is 2820 board feet of Eastern White Pine, all on a 12' 7" body. |
