Default Unidentified carcass

I saw this remnant of a truck a couple months ago, and finally remembered the camera. Its huge! Dirt71's truck has 1400-24 tires. This thing has 1800-29 tires. Looks to be the back half only. The Garwood winch is just sitting there.

Very heavy duty stuff. I wonder what's hiding in the woods back there.

Looks like it might possibly be remnants of one of those behemoth logging trucks used in Canada. A Pacific or Hayes, Mack, maybe...I don't know for sure, but a good guess.

Could be a Pacific, but I want a closer shot of the green thing in the back of the last pic. If we really have to know, I can ask a few of the old guys (loggers) up here as to what the carnage was originally.

Inquiring minds want to know.

Lots of torch cuts and bolts, wondering if it's someones fab work. Plantaries indicate maybe a lowspeed rig. Green rig looks like M816

The green thing in ther back looks to be a 5 ton wrecker, you can make out the bed shape and the side mounted hydraulic tank. But what else is hiding in that woods is the real question????

Not a M26 Pacific. Those were chain driven off of one axle.
