Cool Old Iron in your Hood

Not sure what it does exactly, but saw this on the last ride of the season.

These are really growing on me, along with 2 door tahoe/ yukons

I knocked on their door, guy said he's had people asking about it, but not quite ready to sell, but was willing to take a name and number.
Ran when parked 2 years ago.
I took a quick look, it's a 95 plus interior, needs seat and headliner, but all original, with 111k miles, goddam

Im gonna have to circle back with $2500 in cash and show it to him.

I'd probably love to do a clean paint job, and interior, tint it, some late model take offs, exhaust and a shift kit and have a clean little driver
 
Not my neighborhood, but this old dude showed up last time we were out at cougar buttes and camped/wheeled with us for a few days.

Said the motor on the van was pretty built and he could light the tires up with the buggy and trailer on the back.

That van is sweet! Did you invite him to join the lunacy here?

Old yarder I seen today, looks like the front springs broke, and they chained to get it off the road, and there it sits….
Dang, that looks identical to the old Skagit of my dad's that I cut up for scrap about 12 years ago in Westhaven. He got it from Boak in 1998 and used it on one job right before he died in 1999. He still owed on it so my mom and I offered for Boak to come and get it, we thought he was being nice when he said keep it and don't worry about paying it off. My mom never could sell it and it came time she wanted to sell the place so it got cut up for scrap. I saw Boak right before I started cutting on it and offered it back again, he laughed and said he cut up its sister yarder the year or two before. That is an old school yarder for big timber, I miss those days of working with my dad, didn't appreciate it at the time being a teenager and early twenties.

Boak is still around, I see them from time to time, not sure who they log for tho.

I thought it was Simpson, of course it's been a few years since I've lived in Humboldt. I remember the late 70s to the late 80s logging was booming. Most of the mills I remember as a kid and young man are long gone now.

Only Scotia, Korbel, and Smidbaur left.
 
I don't remember ever seeing one with the rear 1/2 widened before.
Had a neighbor buy one new with a matching 5th wheel late 70's maybe early 80's might have been a different color, but same scheme. Guessing big block? One ton E350
