Popular Post Bullheaded Posted January 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2017 Yes, they were a very well built truck made for logging and mining. There were two dump trucks built, the rest all loggers. But unfortunately they came to the game right at the end of the big fat trucks being used for BC logging. So the company was sold. They could be had with any engine, but they loved the power to fuel efficiency of the Mack V8. The power train was also sub frame mounted and slid right out. Was a really good design. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48420-canadian-challenger/#findComment-359028 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BOB DINGSDALE Posted January 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2017 Well built truck. I drove one for a year. They were built right here in Port Alberni. Most were built with the E9s, a couple with the KTA600 and one with a 3408 Cat. John bought the two coal dump's back and is now rebuilding them back to sell. They had the DD149T@600 hp when new, but one has a KTA600 now, 8000 series Allison 6-speed with Clark BD121 rears. He loves to have people drop in and look things over. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48420-canadian-challenger/#findComment-359031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullheaded Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I've spoke to John back then a few times. Very nice person. It's too bad things didn't work out better for him with more sales. Next time I dig into my collection I'll post the pics John sent me of the dump trucks right after they were built. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48420-canadian-challenger/#findComment-359332 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had never heard of them till the other day. Thanks for the info.
