    Is that a 3412 Cat!? Wow. What transmission

      I really don't know much about these trucks. I uploaded this video for my stepfather. He says you are correct about the Cat motor. I googled 3412 and it sure looks like that one, eh?
      He said the transmissions in almost all of these big trucks was an Allison 6-speed automatic.

      @Wesley Blood cool to know that but by looking at the motor in this "Final Truck" it really appears to be the 3412. I don't know anything about big engines but googling images the 3412 looks pretty much 100% like the one in this truck.

      Yeah the 3408 doesn't have double heads like that. It just looks like a bigger 3208.

    Everything on this truck is just MASSIVELY built. And that sis probably why this company went dead, they made them too well so customers were not repairing
    them or buying new trucks . Same goes for Haynes.

    An era gone, yes. But the company is still with us, although they don't manufacture the trucks any more. They're located in New Westminster, BC, just across the railroad tracks from where I live.

    I don't know that they don't already have them. When I talked with (name withheld) at the head office about it, I think it was more a matter of being competitive (ie: one has to be able to turn a profit when manufacturing the trucks).
    He has the blueprints for every truck they've manufactured, going all the way back to (I believe he said) 1949.

    IT's a real shame that a dedicated crew like these guys were shut down because some arsehole got greedy. I haven't seen much of Pacific's hardware, but what I have seen is always built like a Russian tank. Machines like this are pulling road trains full of ore around West Australian mine sites

    Are those wheel hubs a planetary gear set up ? I think it mentioned in the other vid it had a 6 speed Allison ? And did it have an auxiliary trans ?

    • @ScorchinScooter
      @ScorchinScooter  3 роки тому +1

      Maybe this link will answer some of your questions. I really am not an authority on these. I just uploaded the videos for my step father. He actually wrote a nice history of Pacific Trucks and posted many pics and stories on a website that used to be around called Hank's Truck Pictures. Ironically my step dad is also a Hank. Kind of funny. Check this pdf of specs: www.pacifictruckclub.org/file.php?file=tcsP12-W_0000_00_00_1.pdf

      Yes it's a planetary axle. It has just 6 speed transmission which is shaft driven by a drive line off the flywheel.

    The dash and trim look awesome, why did they mount the cabs off to one side????

    • @ScorchinScooter
      @ScorchinScooter  4 роки тому +2

      Yeah they looked pretty cool for their time. As for cab offset I would have to ask my stepfather about that. He is the Pacific Trucks guru. I just posted the video years ago for him. He told me once but I forget.

    • @ScorchinScooter
      @ScorchinScooter  4 роки тому +2

      Kelly my stepfather explained why the cabs are offset. They used a standard size cab on all their trucks and this beast is much wider than the others so to keep all the steering and layout in the cab the same they had to offset it on the frame. It makes sense now. He said many manufacturers do this. I was clueless myself.

      Same reason mack does it. Better visibility in tight spots. since most of the time you are going around tight corners and hills.
