Pacific Trucks and Hayes Manufacturing...this month's monsters on Biglorryblog courtesy of Scott McKenzie!

It's funny how things snowball from one little e-mail. Thanks to Rod Simmonds I've now struck up a contact with Scott McKenzie who runs the excellent websites for Pacfic Truck enthusiasts at www.pacifictruckclub.org and also for lovers of trucks made by Hayes Manufacturing at www.hayestruckclub.org Scott explains: "The sites are dedicated to the preservation of Hayes Manufacturing and Pacific Truck & Trailer. We're doing this through photographs, documents, registries, stories and the like---it's our intention to document all Hayes and Pacific trucks, showing their history, location and current status and to become the resource for all online information regarding these two manufacturers."

All of which sounds like a cracking idea to Biglorryblog and to keep up the interest Scott is going to start sending me his two 'trucks of the month'--one Hayes, one Pacific---every month which I'll post up on BLB. If you've got information on either of these brands, or you run one, why not drop him an e-amil at either webmaster@pacifictruckclub.org webmaster@hayestruckclub.org

Meanwhile, here are the current trucks of the month. The one on top says Scott: "Is a P16 spar truck (left) with a Hayes HD (center) and a Kenworth, all owned by MacMillan Bloedel, photographed in the Port McNeil, B.C. area. B. Shelton collection---the Hayes March photo:is a 1969 HD31-78 serial number 9113782, photographed in Prince George, B.C., February 27, 2009. - S. McKenzie collection." Scott is also goign to post up links to BLB from his own websites so I look foward to welcoming a whole new group of Canadian anoraks and pie winners! Now click through here for another Hayes shot...
