"UGLY TRUCK CONTEST"

[LeeB]

Now that is a fine ride.

  It's not much but it is the "bushy truck".  1980 chevy 3/4.  The rears have been welded, hasn't been out of 4wd low in over 5 years. All the glass in gone.  Windshield was from vandles and the side windows I shot out trying to chase away a pair of ravens that were trying to make it their nest. :D  They shredded the seat for their nest and would sit on the steering wheel and keep watch out the windsheild.
   I have had wolves sleeping on the seat at -30. Two years ago I had a small (350lb) brown bear try and den for the winter in the cab. Thank god I had 2 big dogs with me when I opened the door. He didn't like me waking him. He might still be running ;D
   It's hauled at least 2000 cords in it's life. Speedo quit at around 800,000 km.
   It's not pretty but it is going to become famous.  Discovery Channel has been in town following the goofs from the series "Gold Rush Alaska", only they got run out of Alaska and crossed the border to the Yukon. Early this spring the crews were filming the 300 miles of nothing between Dawson and Whitehorse. I crossed the road with a load of stems when they turned around and asked If they could film me dragging trees out of the middle of nowhere. So I signed the papers and hopefully it makes it to the show. They even filmed my little shack in the bush. I think they actually were more glad for the coffee and conversation after 8 hours of driving and filming.

I tried my best to take a picture of my truck but it was so ugly my camera just couldn't do it, once I finally got it done, the developer said it hurt his eyes and just couldn't develop the film, once I got it developed and tried to put it on this website the computer said, its soo ugly theres no way I'm putting it on here so I finally gave up sorry guys, its just not worth it anymore, somethings are just not meant to see I guess.

I think Jim Wins.

I am humbled .  It is always a pleasure to work with the latest technology  at hand and maintain fine equipment.    :-\ :-\

[Magicman]

Jim, I have heard of "Butt Ugly" but that is the first time that I have actually seen a picture of it.  

fuzzybear, I would love to see more pictures of your Yukon country.

[shinnlinger]

Here is my Vintage entry...'52 GMC... sharp eyes may note the aftermarket fuel cell....

[clww]

My votes are for jim king, 1st place and shinnlinger for 2nd!

[shinnlinger]

Ill get some better pics so I can move in on Jim.....

[clww]

All jim needs is a crate full of chickens strapped to the roof and some monkeys on the hood.

Looks like I'll need to break the camera out and send in a photo of "'ol Creampuff"...  She'll give Shinnlinger's rig a run for her money!  We retired her "aftermarket fuel cell", but she has other amenities that add to the thrill of driving her...

[CX3]

Well at first i thought i might add my old wood truck on here.  But its WAY too nice of a truck for a contest of this stature.  She has all the windows AND ONLY a small factory fuel tank :-[

Although now I am looking to upgrade to a more modern an safer fuel cell

[scsmith42]

Well, here's "Creampuff".   1964 Ford F600. 



We use her to haul off the slabs and sawdust from the sawmill.  That old 360 Ford engine starts right up, but she don't have much oil pressure once she warms up a bit!

[Bobus2003]

She's the "Ugliest" Rig I have (And she's actually a pretty nice rig):



And on the days when i'm not solely in the woods, I take my 2010 Ford, She's far from ugly :D

[Raider Bill]

Not a logging truck but starts up every time we turn the key.

1951 International Harvester Metro Van 290 Black Diamond engine.

We [ My Son and I ] call her the Big Gray Truck, locals call it the Jeepers Creepers Van
