The only thing left of the original 91 Kodiak I bought is the left fuel tank and the frame rails. 3126 Caterpillar with a 9 speed.
I really like any GM tandem dump. And they are all now bygone models. What you have is the last of them, and 29 years old ain't so new. That's a late great Chevy!

I did know that about the Golden Road. I have spent time in that area, many years ago. My post was referring to the medium duty flatbed combine haulers that other members had commented were overweight. I really have enjoyed looking at those special logging trucks you've shown.

Fantastic group of wrecker pictures. That twin boom hoisting two 1t wreckers is the best!
