Kennys Loggin - Norie Brothers' Mack Trucks

From the March 2023 edition of "Kenny's Loggin'", Ken Wilson tells the story of how Norie Bros. obtained six war surplus Mack trucks. They had 671 Jimmy motors and came with a bare minimum cab. For this story, Ken consulted with Ian McCallum, who worked for Nories in the 50’s and 60’s, driving all these trucks.

This video sure brings back memories of the late 80's and 90's tamping the logging camps in South East Alaska, Silver Bay, Soderberg logging, Logging POW I was their for the end to the 50 year contract years. The good years was before myself when there was big wood standing in Alaska one and two log loads. Thanks for this video.

I’d love to have one of the spec built monsters

[@donchilders1087]

I remember as a kid being on the logging roads in south end of the sierras in California and most of the loads only about 3 logs on the bunk now a days the loads have about 22 to 30 logs per load.timber grows faster than you would think

Great movie. Too bad Mack stopped making these off-road trucks.

[@shanegriffin2215]

Too bad there was no audio.

Right? That JIMMY sound! 🎵

At 1 min 13 that truck hasn't been loaded properly. Too much dirt on one side.

It does look off balance, doesn't it?
