I need help finding an old picture somebody posted on here awhile back. there was a w-series dodge truck with a logging setup, fully loaded. it was a black and white pic, and i cannot seem to find it again! thanks, josh.

W series is civilan 41-47. Kinda confusing as a WC is military and also a 41-47 civilian 1/2 ton model.

Some Dodge log trucks...and an extra Jungle Dodge!:D

If this is the one you're looking for, I'm probably the one that posted it before. Byron Richardson (byronb3b) sent it to me a few years ago. I think it is an old family photo from his family's logging days in Oregon.

Hanks Truck Pictures is a great trucking pic site too.

My Dad drove that truck for Wright's Lumber prior to going in the Navy at the start of WW ll, he is still going strong and it's very interesting to get him started on good ole log hauling stories, it'a a wonder any of the drivers lived through the experience !! Byron

My Dad has told me that the Lumber Co. had Chevies, Fords and Dodge trucks, and that the Dodge was the best, Fords had a lot of clutch problems and the Chevrolet engines would not hold together under heavy use with their oiling system. On steep hills on the highway none of the trucks would always have enough power to make it over the top and with vacuum boosted hydraulic brakes on the truck and vacuum only on the trailers, stalling out and maybe killing the engine could be instant disaster they would tie a short log right behind the drive tires and drag it up the hill to have something to roll back on until a empty truck would come along and pull them to the top.
