Wow, very good memories for me. I worked on those trucks (6 in the fleet) back in 1982-1986. I was an Allison Transmission mechanic at the time and became one of the team that modified the trucks from Detroit 12V71 engines to 12V92TA rated at 750 hp at 2100 rpm. The transmission was an Allison CLBT 6061-6 six speeds with lock-up clutch, remote mounted. All components were modified from the fuel tanks, rear ends, radiators ect in order to increase the GCW at 750,000 pounds load. The 3 trailers rig was replacing 10 standard trucks. End results.... 1 mile per gallon of fuel, but the job was done. At the time the distance was 55 miles one way! The three trailers were already loaded up at pick up. Matter of time saving. Great time to remember... Denis Frenette
@@zecrunchy repower were carried out at customer’s site, not at the distributor’s shop! Yes early during the Marlin DDA days… All the best to you! Denis
1 mile per gallon for 1 truck compared to 10 trucks for the same load seems pretty good for a trade off, but how much extra wear and tear for the setup?
@@ryanchen8403 Hi Ryan, you have good observations! In fact, we deal here with a remote location with off road conditions… winter thaw, river bridges, ect ! by limiting the number of trucks carrying heavy loads, the company save a huge amount $$ in road maintenance. I remember, having seen a pick-up truck loaded with 8D batteries with a big magnets underneath the rear bumper the catch all kind on metal pieces that could eventually puncture tires! So this’s an explanation to you comment! Also maintaining parts inventory for few brands of trucks is also in the picture. Thanks, Regards, Denis Frenette
I like how all of the smaller or regular logging trucks were bringing some large loads, then out of nowhere here comes the Pacific, Challenger or Hayes, whatever slowly grunting up the hill with a whole forest on it's back. Those purpose-built logging trucks are no joke.
Hi Everyone I have a 1981 Pacific Pacific P510S 5 axle set up as a Selfloader with a Grizzly 215C loader . I'm a semi retired Heavy Duty Mechanic here at Port Alberni on Vancouver Island. We ran P16 off highways here and we did run a train out of Franklin River Camp "B" to China Creek. Big wood on our loads. I helped keep these trucks and Hayes H.D.X.s running for M.&B. as well in my latter years drove them and a " Challengers" that was built here in Port Alberni. Never got to drive the train but hauled lots with the 5 axles off very step mountain roads. I'm going to call Pacific Power Train in Vancouver and find out more about these units.
wow! my neighbours have what i believe is a p12, bright orange(well, was, now its not so bright haha) seeing it parked in their driveway was always so cool whenever i passed by on my way to school
The challenger was the best purpose built truck ever for west coast logging wasn't it? Never really took off for some reason though idky, they only completed 20 working units I think I heard somewhere ..
I ran a bus service from Victoria to Bamfield transporting west coast trail hikers in the late 90's. Those Mac Blo off highway trucks were bloody huge...the roads were often just barely wide enough to get out of their way!
In my 41 year in camps, we had these trucks, did tune ups on 71s 92s, even did a swap to a Cat 3412, changed many a trans, diff, planetaries, on KW, Mack, Hayes, Pacific , Challenger even a old Euclid, all were basicly the same except the Euc, They were given many nicknames, Honda, 2 stroke joke, barky, green leaker. Even have a picture of a 3 log load, all from the same tree. Even had to 10 and 12 foot versions, first 5&4 I ever got to shift in a 12. Lots of good memories, sore bones. Coast Powertrain did many a Allison, Clark diff for us. Now all this stuff is sold off to Indonesia i brlieve.
Okay but can we appreciate how the other trucks were going with some pretty impressive sized loads, and then that pacific rounds the corner looking like a road train got lost and found it’s way into Canada somehow
That third log from the right is the one that made the boards for my kitchen wall. Sweet. Looks like the design philosophy for the trailers was. BIGGER!
good moring to all you loggdriven men, you all really amase me in all the long hours you put hauling all them big loads wood, all i can say keep it up, im watching you all,
Hello Brother! Have my clear honor and respect Wise Mecanic. That truck and company are big iron Horse.They are hand made my the Best manufactury in wourld -they plant them to Ásia at the wardest tropical condition and they are well and ready with good manteinance.In Portugal We have volvo 16L and scania ,Daf or Man but not in a milion years that beaty hooverloaded!

These look like 12' bunks on the logging trucks , in the 1970's I ran a Tank Drill drilling / blasting rock to put in New Roads for the trucks to haul out of the bush to the log dumps and booming grounds - The had HAYES - PACIFIC P 16 - 12 ' & 14' bunks . Euclid 85 Ton Rock Wagons with bunks 16' to 18 - Huge Loads close to 150 Tons of Wood - all the other trucks would sit in a by pass while these Monsters came out of the Bush with a 2 to 3 per cent down hill grade - this was across from the top of Vancouver Island - logging camps of Namu and Nikite - Huge dry land sorts where a Big Yellow cedar 5 ' to 6" ft on the butt - the Cash Buyers would pay $8000 for this One Log - that would be made into furniture in Japan - Huge self loading log barges would load the logs and take them across the Pacific Ocean to Asia - Not Many Big Trees anymore - now there is Helicopter Logging - Sikorsky Sky Crane = GOOD OLD DAYS
I would like to find more video and picture of this old Pacific truck. I was at Mistassini when Domtar was there and those truck always facinate me...3 trailer...6 hours for 1 only trip...
Awesome vid, my pops drove em all too, the 5 axle set up is definitely the way to go in the west coast steep country. When I was a young fella Dad had a 1974 hd Hayes, hauled a lot of off hwy with ten foot bunks in ol Hazel, he also had a 1984 mack, Maxine "the big black bitch" with ten foot bunks also, it had the 865cid v-8. Dad drove off highway up north during the winters on ice roads, was number one truck for Triple c for a number of years in Squamish and He also drove the big iron 12s 14s 16s for Powell Daniels, Russell Lily contracting for about 12 years which eventually became Hayes logging i believe...
Dad was a wild one for sure, he was a good trucker, he used to slack one trailer brake off to about 30% in case the brake locked up on the ice or dynamited for some reason the trailer would still follow the tractor instead of dragging it off the road.. God speed pops! I miss you!!
Hello Canadian truckers . Ionly becameaware of Pacific trucks last night 16/10/2020 courtesy of Jacks Chrome Shop . They are very impressive rigs . Can anybody tell me roughly how much weight they are pulling and over what distance . thanks guys . Take care . Mick . Sydney Australia .
While we all know the buzzer dozen was a strong old motor it is much more likely that these big tractors were using the 1710 Cummins v 12 or the 1786 v 12 cat motor to pull these kinds of crazy wood loads
Same goes for all the brands today... back then they were made to last generations and be easy to work on... now they are made to last until the lease is over...

Well a truck with just one 4 axle trailer with the bunks out to side would probably be carrying just rough estimate but would say around 65.00it's to 70.00 kgs the trains just add for every trailer it's heavy and only reason they can do it is they own the road benefet of logging mill having it's own roads no load restrictions only other people driving them would be forestry workers and fisherman hunters but the milk also has trucks coming in the hwy system where you can only haul 63.500 kgs on 5 axle or btrain
They were probably holding the camera perfectly still; it was the power of the rigs that was shaking the earth to its very core, then reverberating back to the surface, creating the instability effect.

The difference in drivetrain specs and gear ratios is far too massive to compare the regular trucks to the specifically built ones.
