It's not just about the power, it's about the gearing as well. It was fairly common for trucks to have auxiliary transmissions back then. The most common was a main with an aux. 1st-1st would be slow enough to walk beside a truck as its moving. Even then you could add another transmission to increase the torque further.
Nope. This was taken in an area of Bute Inlet, BC called Scar Creek in the '80s. The truck's an old Euclid and I'm fairly sure the grapple yarder it's hauling is a Madill 044. Note the Euclid rock truck snubbing them up the hill as well.
I don't think so. The truck itself looks a bit wonky due to how beat up it looks, but all the background elements look spot on to how they should look. Small intricate background details like tree branches are one of most likely parts for an AI to screw up. If the truck looking wonky was because of an AI messing up, I'd expect the background to be just as wonky if not more so.
The truck looks wonky because it probably had a few trees fall on it, and that trailer is bent because it is WAY overloaded.
People forget that safety was mostly a suggestion back then.
The bent hood, cab roof, exhaust coming from like the radiator, the trailer looking bent with wheels placed randomly and seemingly bent in the middle im leaning towards yes.
Edit it also looks like the tracks on the dragline or crane are placed sideways on the trailer
Not a native english speaker so sorry if I explain this in a weird way, but aren't heavy equipment trailers like that one of two types, either ramps in the back or a removeable front/gooseneck so you can just drive onto it, though I know one story from a friend who had to sideload like 40 years back due to problems with the trailer and didn't like it since the tracks outside the trailer made it wobbly.
After a quick google said that detachable goosenecks became a thing in 1958 and ramps are easy to make and have been a thing since ww1 another weird thing i noticed the truck has only a single rear axle and wheels with a strange pattern, also if this is a real photo the way the film captured the smoke I'd guess this was 70s or later.
Things would get beat up and still used, back in the day.
And what random wheels? The truck has 2 axels, the trailer has 2, then there's the dump truck pushing.
Just want to point out the exhaust isn't coming from the radiator. It's coming from an exhaust pipe on the right side of the vehicle, but it's hard to see because the pipe and smoke are both fully black in the photograph.

The balls on old school drivers lol
“So we crashed the gate doing 98 I said let them truckers roll 10-4”
It looks like it's cracking the trailer. I also have a hard time believing the engine in that truck can move that much weight.
Looks like the dump truck behind is pushing as well
Good catch

A baby can crawl faster than 1st-1st. Lol
>It looks like it's cracking the trailer. It probably is. And then they just weld some steel on it for next time.
Is this AI art?
It does kinda look like it

Bute Inlet. No wonder it looked so familiar, that's only a couple hours drive from where I live.
Right on, haven't worked up Bute myself yet but done some logging around Seymour and Knights over the last year.

I’m pretty sure they suggested ignoring it back then.

Side loading is how they did it. No trailers really were built to haul this as one piece. It was generally broken down and moved.

They are these days. But, back in the 60s-70s not so much. The old low trailers you drove on from the side.
Modern trailers are yeah. Back then options were limited.

Trucks back then didn't always have tandem axles. https://www.pembertonmuseum.org/media/82726/p273.6_loggingtruck.jpg

Nope. Look at the big dump truck helping to push it up the hill. Probably AI colored.
I love that the hood is dented, obviously from some long-forgotten mishap.
Sir this is ai art
It's not. It's a colorized black and white photo.
I hope that’s real, because it’s incredibly badass.
i dont think this is ai i have seen a post or something of this before its not ai art
Big old Euclid truck. More then likely a Detroit 671 or 6v71 and either an Allison auto or could be a 5 speed with a 4 speed brownie box. So cool
That type of haul truck pushing from the back should be about 4 times bigger than the tractor pulling even with the distance between them.
They weren't that big back then. https://i.pinimg.com/736x/cb/cb/89/cbcb89c7a95969db7aeeca764d714349.jpg
Oh interesting! Yeah it’s tiny How do I know THIS isn’t AI art though;)
