Damm, Pacific sure brings back many memories from my childhood. My late father was the lead driver for many years, driviing those huge red Pacific Trucks in the old SAS&H (South Africa). They were moving massive transformers and stators from Richardsbay to the highveld region, where most of South Africa's new Power stations was being built at that time. The Pacific Trucks that was built for the South African Railway was not yellow but a dark red colour. I will bet a million dollars that the driver of that lead Red Pacific Truck at 08:52, was none other than my late Father. When they were moving in a large convoy they always drew hundreds of spectators, who came to see these behemoths moving at a slow speed. 👍👍
I did 80% of the work on that orange one at the beginning of the video ❤️ built the bumper from factory blueprints ! And most of the paint . We also shortened the frame
So brutally ugly they're beautiful, I'm almost glad they stopped making trucks in the 90's with dignity and there wasn't an aerodynamic emissions compliant model.
Most interesting presentation (viewed ex ZA (Fairest Cape)). It appears not only do Pacific Trucks percevere, but so do their People, with getting their trucks built and operating where toughness is a prerequisite, somehow. Wonderful heritage and motivational core to solidly back the sturdy and reliable product ~ WELL DONE! 👊🔥⁉️
I think the Pacific truck were some of the most beautiful trucks ever built! Large in every way, powerful in every way able to work exactly like they were built to able to take the punishment of every day for many many years! The type Brutally extreme heavy duty vehicles I have always loved being around! When I do something dumb and break something its up to ME to fix it and with truck like this I have always been able to do that. I collect both US and German Military trucks and when needed full restorations, and NOT ONE of my trucks has any way shape or form of a computer in it!
@@sc1338 Pacific built heavy duty off highway trucks, similar idea to most ALL equipment and Vehicle manufacturers. The one exception in the early days was MACK. It sounds like your not really up to date on this topic, maybe just Surfing 😂
@@stevecarlisle3323 I’m aware they built the body, I was just wondering what engines they sourced mostly. You’re correct I’ve just recently heard of these.

Glad you did this but you read 3/4 of my story that I wrote about Pacific and Trailer. Which I wrote for ATHS. Where it was published several of the pictures were also mine as I have the oriiginal photo's here where I live.
Hello! Speaking with our writers we did not use any information not readily available via other sources for information. The photos I will have our editor include citation and credit. Thanks for watching!
Vancouver and Kelowna British Columbia used to be a hotbed of truck manufacturers with Hayes, Pacific,Freightliner, Canadian Kenworth and Western star in Kelowna
I remember doing speeches and presentations back when I was still in school, and well, if you talked like this through the entire thing, you wouldn't get a good grade... It is like trying way too hard to be good, that it comes out worse then if you were talking in monotone... Still, with what parts I was able to follow along with, had some nice info.
Maddie, I enjoy the content you and your brother put out for your dad's shop. Hey, maybe narrating a tiny bit faster would cheer up the channel? Anyhow, awesome work from both y'all! Thanks.

The truck is 10 ft wide. The inside of the log bunks on the trailer is 16 feet wide.

was there any name infringement concerns with the Pacific name? I came across photos of an M-26 Pacific tank retriever-WW 2. was that name dropped by PACCAR? great presentation and a neat set of photos. the Crane Company reminds me of a cement mixer I worked on in 1977. it had a grille emblem of just CCC and was from Texas. it had massive I-beam frame rails,could have built a bridge with them!
No infringement as Pacific trucks was Canadian and PacificTrucks held the Pacific naming rights in Canada and PACCAR did not. Name rights are per nation not just globally blanket.
I like this episode; good info that dovetails into that from other sources, that are all mostly in agreement. But.... If Jack's is a US company, why is the voiceover computer generated??? Anyone??? Anyone????
The Female voice over, narrator , Speaks Strangely ,She ends each sentence with an odd UP lift pronunciation ?? Weird , Hard to listen to ... Wonderful Info However
The reason for the offset cab was so you could at least see down one side of the truck. If it was center mounted, you wouldn’t be able to see down either side very well.
@@m16ty I have been discussing this with others and one person did suggest that. However what comes with seeing over one side of the hood comes with not being able to see down the other side at all.
Sunflower seeds were banned at Pacific Truck and Trailer in 1978 I believe...lol. Owners would turn on heaters and they were blowing Sunflower seed shells all over inside of cabs...
I seem to remember American Crane using Pacific carriers for some 125t and 165t cranes .Is this the same company. If it is ,should have been mentioned.
Hmmm, well they used a Detroit Diesel V12 but changed to Cat 3408 ....I never saw a Cat 3412, could have I guess after 1982 when I was finally laid off.

The slow talking and voice inflection make it sound like you're reading a book to young children, spice it up these a gnarly trucks!!
Love the content otherwise 👍
The first truck I learned to drive was a Pacific Hayes with a 5 & 4 (two stick) transmission.
After 50+ years in the truck and trailer industry this only the second time I’ve heard about this company.Thanks for the article and video.....
Damn! Those are seriously beastly looking trucks!
Pacific trucks were used for logging in eastern Australia, it was in the 1950's I think.
they where, but there was a bigger amount in NZ
the hydro electric company used them in tassie too, iv heard they even converted some to 6x8's
I never even heard of a Pacific truck. These things are cool
Another fantastic video! Thank you for your efforts in posting. These videos are very educational!
Gotta be one of the meanest looking rigs ever made..

The next video on trucking culture, can y'all talk about duel (1971)?
Fenders remind me of those Euclids, i love channels that show semi-rare historical machinery. I Wish this channel was bigger. Keep on truckin!
Very uplifting, to know about dem rigs.. educational n da history of... awesome 👍..thnx
Awesome vid saw a Pacific truck at a car and truck Show as a kid and was mesmerized by the size of the truck compared to other rigs there
Never heard of them but they look excellent.
my dream is to buy a p16 restore it and drive it , just on the weekends , :D
This is what peak function over form looks like.
A.truck built and designed in BC, manufactured in BC, for coastal BC logging. You would have to call that Home Made, EH !

I used sign language
Pacific P-16 and P-12 are in snowrunner
Excellent series love it
I think the narrator is from california with the uptalking.
Super annoying and over the top
Nz had quite a number of Pacifics used in logging down here, they where shipped down here and assembled here
RHD Pacific trucks are a rare sight now days, loved seeing those machines roar down 60 bar 8 when I was a kid.
Commentary sounds fine the way it is no need for speeding up imo! Great Vid!
Hayes, Pacific, Challenger what a shame they've gone.
She sounds like Lola from Big Mouth. Good documentary.
So a good company destroyed by corporate incompetence
Interesting. Only here because of Snowrunner it has a Pacific P12 in it.
this is the chuck norris of trucks
No, Chuck Norris is a religious freak American asshole. These are pure Canadian. A Pacific wouldn't even bother to piss on Chuck Norris.
I layed a like and a comment before I watched the video,,,
I was born in September of 1981 when Pacific was sold by International.
Ya, I lost my job as Parts guy on assembly floor
