Hayes HDX Off Highway Trucks

Last Hayes truck was built in 1975

Your work is a timeless archive of trucks kinda past their prime and soon to be scrapped. They are forever saved by your videos.

These are what I really go for. Something that can HAUL something. Thanks, Pal!

Those are beasts! Love those old trucks. Thanks for sharing skadill!

The steering axle hub on the HDX with the Detroit; that hub [Artful "big" version of a Saskatchewan mag wheel...haha] is a work of art. Total smooth cast hub, for me, one of the artful details of the truck.

Here in Maine demotions come as the costs rise to keep the truck in regular service. A dump truck conversion is common to help build or repair woods roads. Sometimes sentimental reasons keep them around.

Excellent camera work, great commentary!

Look like old BCFP trucks that went through the changes in the company name.

I would love to get one or two and restore them. Be my Sunday driver. 👍

Don't you drive an HDX as a daily driver lol, usually the trucks that get changed from a log truck to a water wagon or a fuel truck etc usually are worn out or the frame is tweaked.

I would like to buy the one with the Detroit diesel. It would be cool to hear that being started.

Magnificent, - the likes of you and I will die before they do. Made in the era when trucks were built to survive anything thrown at them, not like todays "Plastic" logging trucks, the ones you get now are worn out after 5 years, - (all show), - no strength, - and they can't carry anywhere near the load these moved. Alas they are the last of an era which we will not see again.

Outstanding and built to last, Shame Paccar got theyre hands on em, These trucks still had a place in the grand scheme of things, The potential unlimited IE, the military market .. oil field .. mining etc. like the Canadian Avro hope thats the correct spelling. this country has the talent and resources , yet continue to take a back seat we seem to perfer just giving away our raw resources, subsidizing other countries and we love high taxs .43 years in the industry in western Canada and all i can say to the political elite GROSS MISMANAGEMENT and time for change Before they give it all away

What would be the cost roughly to buy one of these old girls?

[Frostie]

That was the problem Hayes had. Built them to well and would not die. Not like new trucks that are built with a life span to be replaced.
