Not bein from B.C just wondering was it one specific company that used the yellow with green hood? These are the colors under the red paint on my hayes.

@oldbuckshot up till the 80's almost every off highway woods truck was yellow with a green hood.It was just 'the look' then.The majors had co.colors like BCFP,MacMillan Bloedel,and such

I was looking at the hand-valve and it made me think of a funny story. When I was driving for Les Schwab they still had cabover Pete's. The hand-valve is on the dash instead of on the steering column. One time a friend and I were climbing Warms Springs, heading to Portland. As we were only going 25/30, he pulled up on my left and wanted a dinner roll I had. He ran his air window down and I tossed him a roll...............which he missed and hit the hand-valve. It took him 5 miles to catch up!

The truck is in fairly good shape.
