I am looking for anybody that was in Rivers Inlet working for Malloch and Moseley in the early 70's, i have been trying to find pictures from back then ,i was up there in the summers with my dad,if any body has pictures or could point me to somebody who might would be appreciated thx in advance
Thanks for the remineder I'll touch base with Gordy Isacson see if I can get some pictures off him . Heres one of a log barge at Kabella Bay.
Wow , i remember that barge,
Is that Tug ,the Sudbury II,
That sounds familiar but I can't be sure
2mile chuck walla bridge
044 going over camp creek,I have lots but need to dig them out.
About time you dug out that stash you got hid away DE . Great pictures welcome to HEF keep up the good work.
Familiar site,running with boom ahead
dale erskines hand hanging out the window,his dad Rick sentence that one.
The tug in the picture Is the Pacific Challenge not the Sudbury 2. The Sudbury 2 sank in Hecate Strait in 1982. Attached is a drawing of the Sudbury 2 and the Pacific Challenge anchored together. The Pacific Challenge was a converted west coast whaling ship from Holberg on the west coast. It towed barges up and down the West Coast after it's conversion to a tug.
Great picture, Thanks Len
You're quite welcome bccat. Len
I remember the name CE Routhe does anybody know that name and if that company was in Rivers?
Yeah I worked for CE (Ted) Routh for 7 years in the 80's. never was up in Rivers with him though, but one of the older guys, Bill Me was driving a new Mack gravel truck for him was there, he had two Mack gravel trucks that he later traded in for the CL350 logger. I was in Security Bay and Gilford Island with him hauling for Weldwood.
You might try going onto facebook. Sue Malloch is on there under the name of Susan Malloch she was in Rivers Inlet.
Thanks , my brother has been trying to get ahold of the Mallochs and the Issacsons
Gordy I and I have been talking , should be posting some of his pictures in near future.
That would be cool thx
Here we go Boon chain Gordy Isacson is sharing his pictures with us . Ray ( Tiny ) Gibson standing in front of his Euclid 64 TD Logging Truck on Glue-lam. suspension Bridge at 2 mi. Kibella Bay Rivers Inlet . ( Bridge crossing Chuckwalla River ). - Truck later snagged one of the cables and pulled the whole bridge down into river. Big Ray walked into camp soaking wet.... they thought he was joking -- when asked where the Euclid was ... " its in the river " was his reply . Early 70's
Gordy I Ray Gibson's 64 TD Euclid in the 1 mi. bone yard - Big I Beam frame bent like liorice after drop in Chuckawalla Riverfrom Glue-lam suspension bridge . Amazingly he servived

Not that i remember , i only ever remember seeing them in the rock truck configuration , most of the log trucks i remember were Pacific or Hayes or KW
wow that truck brings back some memories
Sorry Camp Tramp i cant seem to find out how to edit threads ,so far all i can find is to start a new thread,unless somebody else can inform me how to do it.

Great pics Gordy. Thanx for sharing! Camptramp; thanx for uploading pics. I am on The Mainland now but hopefully I will take the ferry to The Island today. Maybe we will meet. I am planning to attend The Duncan truck show. See you! Take Care!
Thanks Hayesno1 I didn't know Bill Malloch personally, but I remember as a kid, Malloch & Moseley were the outfit to work for if you were in the Sooke Langford area . I guess they favoured International products, I remember Bill Malloch had a Jeep Wagoneer and Dez Moseley had an International Scout , their Woodsforman Ron Renshaw had an International pickup with a bush box , they were all done up pretty trick for those days. Bill Malloch had a lot of jam and when he got the chance , he went for the top. I would like to use this thread to celebrate the good years of the " Big M " . I'm hoping to change the thread name to Rivers Inlet and other Malloch & Moseley operations. If you have M & M pictures post them hear , If you have pictures ,but don't have time to scan them , get them to me , I'd be more than happy to post them on this thread.

In later years Jud King drove gravel truck for E. Nixon in Victoria . Bill M. hired a couple of E. Nixon's gravel trucks for some road work at his Nitinate Divison . When Bill found out Jud was one of the driver's , and knowing Jud liked Bananas , Bill had a box of Bananas shipped into the camp cook house for Jud .

Now there is a name from the past. My sister used to work for West Coast Freight in Port Alberni. This became Johnston Terminals sometime in the mid-60s. Whatever happened to this company?
Here in the mainland of B.C. In 1972 Public Freightways and Johnson Terminals became one. Public closed its doors in 1989, due to the down turn in the economy and the small profit margin. The company decided to close while the going was still good.

great pictures guys
Sure enjoy the pictures, thanks for sharing them with us, camptramp.
In my youth , the 1960's through to the 1980's there were a lot of unique characters and outfits in the Forest Industry on the West Coast of British Columbia , I did a little Camp Inspecting and worked in a few . Now I try to find pictures to post , to keep the memories of those time's alive , though the outfits and characters are sliding into past history. The late 1980's into the 1990's was a tough time for workers in the Forest Industry , many companies and workers fell to the way side due to the " War in the Woods" and the changing economy , during that time I wrote several poems that to me reflected my thoughts of those times .. The Timber Trade By Camptramp In a Rural Town Called a Logging Camp I grew up , to be a man On the West Coast Of B.C We followed our fathers Several friends and I We took to the Woods To harvest the Trees With pride we excepted Hard work for a decent wage And a life , in the Timber Trade Where once we stood proud And paid our own way We now look forward To be retrained, as Welfare Slaves We now have our doubts As to how we'll get by But having been raised as a Logger The tougher things get The harder we try The toughest chore of all Is to swallow our Pride
Keep up the history about the camps and life. You were one of the lucky guys to have been there and done that. Most of us have never been there and can only read about it.
I remember the Bull cook when i was there , i seem to recall rumour was he had cooked for the Queen

I have no idea who he is, or was, but I have added him to my ongoing prayer list. God bless him and ALL the old loggers.
The man that gypo logged around the Langford , Sooke area until he got a break , then ran with it W.T. "Bill" Malloch .
Good time to post a list Gordy I. made up of Malloch & Moseley in their peak years.
Camptramp, are they still logging? I am guessing a lot smaller of a operation than years ago. Looks to me like they were a first class operation with good iron.
Thanks, Camptramp.
Hank sometimes even Fairy Tales don't have happy endings , Malloch & Moseley fell on hard times in the 1980's I won't dwell on the ending , but focus on the good times . Two of Bill Malloch's son's and a daughter and family operate Malloch Logging , I would think it's a tough struggle to survive in today's Forest Industry , but they are made of tough stuff , and continue to keep dumping logs over the Brow Log into the water. And yes M & M was made up of good people and good equipment.

Hank go to Pacific truck thread page 39 posting #580 , you posted a picture of the #116 at the Muir Creek shop and DLS with Ken Ganton in picture. Got to hook up with Gordy for a new supply of pictures .
Truck does look a little newer in my picture, with the wife's uncle Ken.

Great pictures of 115! I wish I had access to all these photos when I started building the model of her! Here are a few more that my Dad took when she was new. They are reposts but I think they should be in here in the M&M thread too.
Here's a few more from my Dad's collection. You wouldn't get away with this now...This photo was taken by my Grandfather sometime in the 60's Same idea but towards the end at Muir Creek. Late 70's or very early 80's possibly. I know that a ride on the Cat was suggested to me but I was too shy and didn't want to. It seemed pretty scary at less than 5 years old!
A few more.... This old Cat is done! Getting a ride out of the dryland on the stacker...Dad told me who the guys were but I forget their names. Yes i know, I should pay more attention... Cat 966A loading bark. Anyone know more about the KW? I would like to build a model of it but I only have this picture of it. My Dad says he may have a few more pictures but he needs to go through a ton of slides to find them and then have them converted to pictures. Hopefully he can find them! Reg
Always happy to see pictures from back in the day. Great way to start the day . Thanks again Hank R
That almost looks like a highway dump body on an off-highway truck. Could it be an old log truck that was converted on the cheap?
Great pictures Reg, fun seeing how thing used to be done.

camptramp sure glad you keep coming up with more great photos. Very enjoyable to look at to me.
For sure keep them great pictures coming, makes getting up in the morning easy.
I know this isn't really an M&M thing but some of you may find it interesting. I put together a video of all the build photos I took while building the model of M&M truck #115. It shows the whole building process from the simple drawings I started out with right to the way it sits now as a finished, working model. I hope you enjoy! http://youtu.be/iLk5fN04P_k
Morning Reg,watched your presentation. Wow. Very well done. So much detail. Very enjoyable. Thanks
Watched it twice already and do not know how to say I am impressed. Great job Reg
REG, wow great job with the video. It show more of the detail work you had to do to build the model. It was neat seeing it come together, in just a few minutes. Thanks for sharing it all with us.
Thanks very much guys, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's kind of crazy that you can condense hundreds of hours of work into a few minutes worth of pictures. I just did one up of the Hayes HD so I will post that in the Hayes section. Reg

Gordy I , a 1965 local news paper clipping .
Gordy I . Malloch & Moseley Logging , " Mackay Lake Special " My favourite truck when I was a kid : Gordy I . This truck was spec'd out by Gary Kershaw- who ended up not taking delivery , and Malloch & Moseley ended up buying it .... what a beauty in 1967 . Note Chrome power steering reservoir , dual spot lights , and dual chrome "straight" pipes . Who ran them in 1967 ? S/N 83148 delivered April 7,1967 - 335 Cummins power , Spicer 8552 - A Main / 8341 G Aux - 88HD Diffs. #76 Later changed to #109 and painted yellow green and white . Also notice the 5- hole Aluminum "Wheels" on steering axle - they were unheard of on a Logging Truck in B.C. in the day - you didn't even see them on Freight Haulers up here in B.C. in 1967 . Look at the B.F. Goodrich 14 ply tires 10:00 x 20 Rock Logger Tires on drive axles and trailler . Truck is long gone ... but would be cool to build a clone of it one day for Truck Shows ... Hummm ... Photo was taken in front of Muir Creek Shop in Sooke B.C.

Malloch & Moseley , Bill Spiller pulling up adverse grade on Gordon River M/L with M & M # 145 an 850 Kenworth .
Malloch & Moseley Logging , The picture is an M & M 850 Kenworth on the Gordon River M/L , with a slight problem . WFI the former user and builder of the road used logging trucks with 12 maybe 14 foot wide bunks . When BCFP started to use the Gordon River M/L , their logging trucks were using 15 1/2 foot bunks . The Malloch & Moseley truck pictured had I believe 16 ft. bunks . It is parked between TR 4 and TR 6 , between TR 4 and TR 6 there is a narrow Rock Cut , solid rock on one side , a drop off to the river on the other . That stretch of the road usually has a lot of pot holes in the tire tracks , on the rock face there is a rock about the size of a tire sticks out about a foot or so . When passing through the Rock Cut there is room to miss the obstacle , but if your dodging pot holes , we use to miss it by inches . It was about the same height as the "Eye" welded to the "Stake" to hold the Stake Strap . The out come if you miss judge or forget about it is obvious .

Love M&M history, they are a true testament to west coast logging. Set an example and laid routes in if your machines running, so are you. Admire what they did and the equipment they ran.
Thanks for the kind words diesel freak.

Took me a while but I got your pictures back in lead .
What a fantastic looking company. Hats off to Bill Malloch and co. A lot of "get up and go" exhibited in these photos, BC looks like a fine place to live and work. You sure do build the right equipment for the job. Thanks, John.

Malloch Logging , Alberni area , Early morning on Taylor 550 M Madill 046 90 ft Longline yarder , #44 Western Star tri-drive Eight's Enough Trucking , Duncan B.C.
Great looking setting and equipment. Do they still operate out of logging camps or are the roads good enough that everyone drives in everyday? I stay in a caravan in the woods where I'm working, anyone do that in this area of BC?
On the Mainland Coast of British Columbia and West Coast of Vancouver Island there are still isolated places where logging company's have camps , but most areas on Vancouver Island and the Fraser Valley are accessible by paved roads . The big camps that use to be are pretty much gone , most loggers work locally and commute from their homes to their place of work . If the company they work for or they find work to far from home to commute , they stay in Motels or live out of travel trailers or motor homes .

Thanks Guy's , was talking to a friend this AM at coffee , should have some more pictures for this thread soon Boomchain .
Warm thanks too from this island Camptramp, for anyone interested in mechanised logging on a large scale, these pictures and info are the greatest. You must have the hang of that scanner by now, thanks for posting all.

Anyone know where Mike Fortin is now. Have not seen or heard his name since 1980.
Mike lives around Mill Bay . Through the transition of Malloch & Moseley , Forest Lands Industries , Hayes Forest Mike shared the road with us , switching from Off Highway trucks to Highway trucks along the way . I can't remember the exact year , but it must have been after 2000 , Mike's wife had health concerns and Hayes kept Mike working around their main yard at Duncan in case his wife needed him . I hope he is well , I left a message on his phone last year looking for pictures , he never returned the call . Another good Logging Truck driver slipping into oblivion .

Toby Hird Malloch & Moseley , 1984 while contracting for BCFP Renfrew Div. #402 Madill 009 tower pulled a "Guyline" stump out of the ground resulting in pulling the tower over . I just realized that this is the same tower (#402) that was involved in a run away in post #366 . This event happened first , in these pictures the tower its self is "rusty yellow" top to bottom , in posting #366 the top section is painted orange . 1st-3rd pictures of tower pulled over . 4th picture is John Combet and Toby Hird inspecting up turned guyline stump .

While pulling on to the bridge that cross's Robertson River that is on a corner , Trailer tracked off inside of corner on fill approaching bridge , pulling truck which way already on bridge , off bridge into river . Cause Pin that passes through Funnel on end of Compensater at tail frame of truck and "Eye" on end of trailer Reach to hold trailer in place while hauling load had "jumped out" somewhere's along the gravel road . (The Pin is about 2 inches in diameter by about a foot long weighting about 10 pounds) , T his is only the second time I've seen this happen after 20 years of driving Off Highway Logging Truck the first time the driver discovered it was missing when he pulled into the Nekite River Dump behind me , the pin was found on the M/L about 6 miles out of Camp .

That would not have been fun for the driver, especially landing in the water on his side.Was he OK ??? Truck looks fairly new and took a hard hit but it looks like it took the beating well.. Having been flipped over myself a few times and having my truck land on its drivers side in a ravine I find myself having a personal moment with the pictures.. I hope he is OK...
The driver was young and tough besides being shook up he came out of it okay , really good guy really good driver , just a bit of bad luck . One suggestion that came out of it was to drill a hole in pin under funnel and make a safety pin out of wire to insure reach pin can't bounce out .
Glad to hear he was ok...I have a picture in my head of the pin.Tapered on the bottom,flat bar welded across the top,chain welded on to the flat bar and hair clip on the chain..Dont know when it came to be but that's what I remember.I could be thinking of the wrong pin tho..

Yes they would, because there haven't been loads or logs that big since they were born! I, too, remember when loads like this went down Main Street in my Oregon hometown, dropping mud and bark everywhere. :cool2 Love these vintage logging shots.
Diane - I have driven by that old teepee burner many times, when the mill was still there and after it was gone. Was that located at Setzer Forest Products, or the other mill? I went to HS in Yreka and hunted over at Lower Klamath in the fifties and early sixties. More recently we hunted "squeaks" out of McDoel. Cal Setzer was one of my neighbors before we moved to Idaho last summer.
Sidney, I don't know the names of the mills in Dorris, but my avatar is the one closest to town from the bug station. I moved away from the area when I was 13 (1962) and moved back to Klamath Falls 8 years ago, so there is a gap in my knowledge of a lot of details. What in the world are squeaks?
Interesting - I left Siskiyou county to go to college in 1961, but came back one more summer to work with my dad logging. So we have about the same time frame. "Squeaks" are the nickname for the Beldens ground squirrels that infest the alfalfa ranches around McDoel and Klamath Falls. They are a problem and the ranchers cannot use poison on them because of protected raptor species that would ingest the poison.
Oh! I didn't know anything about those critters. Right, poisoning them would pretty much wipe out the raptors.
I Googled "Squeeks", ha ha. I'm glad someone asked as it was getting to me.
Camp - Do you happen to have any other photos of Lea Fortin around? I am his step granddaughter, granddaughter to Aileen Fortin. I didn't know these photos existed and I know our family would love to have copies if possible. Haven't seen a picture of Papa in years. Very emotional. Please let me know -Erin email [email protected]

The roadbuilder in post 389, what are the "lugs" for on back of bucket? Great pictures again, many thanks.

John: The lugs on the back of the bucket are actually boxes that you can insert ripper shanks into. I would think, with the advent of quick changes, a separate ripper attachment would be the preferred option today.

Thanks DBDLS, not seen them before. This forum is great for picking up some different ways to do things. Cheers.
They would put shanks in those boxes to help tear up stumps when building road if they couldn't dig it up. Iv welded old sprocket segments on to lots of buckets for the operator
Sprocket sections welded on back of bucket, similar place to those boxes? How are they used, kind of like a cheese grater? Trying to picture it. Cheers. (apologies for thread hijacking)

Camptramp,good to see you back. Thanks. Bp
Thank you Camptramp for bringing some pictures of Maverick Logging's 046 working out of Caycuse now. To my knowledge it is three 046's working on Vancouver Island, the two others is AGG of Powell River's 046 #22064 (formerly Huffman & Wright, Oregon) and #10003 moved from a Madill 079 trailer and mounted by Madill in 1995 for Mike Walch on the one of a kind Madill 069 carrier formerly used on the one of a kind Madill 062 yarder (3-600).
Thanks Mr tramp, excellent pictures, looks like successful regrowth being harvested there. Cheers.
The original m m logo This isn't the original location that billy had ordered on the m m trucks! It was up near the top. On the green stripe. The m was huge as well. It's a shame that dale didn't keep it the same way when des Moseley was dropped. My dad work for both of them on Queen Charlotte
Big m Backloader. My dad showed me Billy's. Trucks. And from what I can. See. Most of the kenworths and yuks. Had. The (M). Up higher placed on the green stripe. Not where it is now on there trucks. Plus the formant is completely different It's a shame my dad sure misses working at Queen charlottes

Great pictures Ravencrest, do you know what year they were taken? Cheers
Those pictures were taken last week.The p16 is pulling highway trucks up a steep adverse.i liked them cause they look like they were taken years ago.
I could be wrong but the P-16 looks to be a pre 77 small window cab yet the quality of the pic says its not a old picture.The truck and trailer look to be in great shape..
They do have a vintage feel to them, but the loader in the foreground made me think they were recent. Excellent photography either way.
That picture shows the p16 pulling the highway truck a little better.they just left the loader shown below.
This P16 looks like an ex Hayes Forest truck. They had two sister trucks just like this. Was this Gordi Neva's truck
It is gord Neva's truck on loan to us.
It's got the right colour scheme , seems to fit in.
Well at least the old girl is getting used and looked after
I really like that lowboy.
Yikes, what a great scene. Equipment looks really good.
That looks like a model setup it is so perfect.
I was working there in 71 72. We were still using this chain driven Madill.
I worked there in 71 72. I'd love to see pictures too.
Malloch & Moseley had 2 or 3 P 16 Pacific's (#140 , #141 , #142 ?) at Kilbella Bay in 1979 , I believe they were moved to the Caycuse / Renfrew area when Malloch pulled out of Rivers Inlet . When Malloch & Moseley transition to Forest Land Industries , they were part of the deal . When Hayes bought out Forest Land Industries , the were part of the deal .
We were still using the chain drive KW when I was there 71 72.
I stand to correct myself the #140 was an 850 Kenworth . The third P16 Pacific at Kilbella Bay was a P16 Pacific #116
I worked for Kilbella Bay logging in 1972. Thanks . This really brinks back memories.
I joined this site a couple of months ago and just want to thank everyone that has contributed to this thread, my family and I really enjoyed it. We collect International Scouts & pickups, one my dad bought new from Berk's Intertruck in Nanaimo in 1974 when I was 7 years old. We have wanted a 1969-1975 D-Series Travelette crew cab for awhile now and thanks to Bill Ziesel from Shirley, B.C. for telling us about a fellow in Metchosin that has a collection of Internationals we now have a 1971 1210 Crew Cab 4x4 that was well optioned from the factory. The truck belonged to Malloch & Moseley, it was Paul Auringer's personal pickup. The truck was equipped from the factory with a 392 V8, automatic, Custom Exterior Trim, Cab Lights, Sliding Rear Window, West Coast Mirrors, Custom Interior Trim, Tinted Glass, Air Conditioning, Bucket Seats and of course power steering & brakes. The truck was repainted years ago but there are some places on the hood where the yellow paint has peeled off showing the original dark green paint below. The truck originally had the factory short bed on it that was lined with plywood but was replaced in the mid 1980s with the logging/bush box because it was in rough condition but we got the original tail gate with it that still has the plywood lining on it and the full width International trim. My oldest son, now 22, is currently restoring a 1967 IH Scout Sportop and is looking forward to doing this truck. He will keep the M&M yellow, white and green colour combination and would like to put an original IH short bed fleetside on it but is considering the logging/bush box. The truck currently has a 4L Mitsubishi turbo diesel with a 5 speed in it but he plans on putting a Cummins in it (painted beige) with an NV4500 5 speed. A set of magnetic Malloch & Moseley decals and a correct two-way radio for truck shows are also on his mind. Suggestions and opinions are welcome. Mat Qualicum Beach, B.C.
Mat I do not know what parts you may need but in Lethbridge Alberta George Kirkham the IH dealer. He is a huge collector of IH trucks and his dealership has a big parts supply. Have a friend that is working on a 69 and early 70's 1 ton and not problems getting parts.
Thanks Hank. I have bought some parts from George's Southland International in Lethbridge, they are very helpful and good to deal with. I see you are in Princeton. I picked up a '74 IH 4x4 from Jim Hodges last summer, it had been parked along the back row of his yard for many years. Mat
I can see Jim's yard from my house. My friend has his shop and IH trucks across from school bus yard.
Is this your friends truck a white 1974 500 Series? My son spotted it when we were in Princeton last May. Looks like a solid truck.
Yes and he just picked up a 69 Parts truck
I am going to be in Princeton next week and have some D-Series parts. I will send you a DM with my contact info. so you can pass it on to him, maybe I have something he needs.
camptramp posted a picture of Bill Malloch's 1971 International crew cab pickup on page 9 of this thread, I have posted it again below. If you look closely there is a dent in the rocker panel just below the front edge of the passenger door. The truck we recently purchased has the same dent that was repaired with body filler (2nd & 3rd pictures). This appears to be the same truck that was originally Bill Malloch's then later on Paul Auringer ended up with it.
My father worker for Billy Malloch and Des Mosley logging..in Rivers inlet in the 60's and very early 70's up the inlet..1974. My parents lived in a old federal Fisheries cabin on a creek that flowed into the inlet...my dad and mom pregnant with me. Nearly died when there cabin burned down..my dad drove his small skiff..in 15 foot waves up the inlet to the Indian Reservation..with me and my mom and dogs cats. The Johnson family..Frank and Alvena and Charlie etc took them in ...
I was there when they were still using it. Niel Ferguson
I found this hat/jacket patch on ebay, a fellow in Tacoma, Wa. had it.
A big thank you to ih8mud.com member mrsleeve and to those who own and/or run that website. I used my signature to advertise that I was looking for a 1969-1975 International short fleetside bed with or without a tailgate for our 1971 International Travelette 4x4 and mrsleeve connected us with his buddy Kevin in NW Montana that had one. We picked up the bed on Saturday, Nov. 2nd and just mounted it on the truck this morning. It was a pleasure meeting Kevin and his friends Ron & John who helped load the bed onto our trailer. It was hard to find a good bed for an International pickup 40 years ago and to find one today without having to buy a whole truck is amazing.
If any of you would like one of those Malloch & Moseley Logging hat/jacket patches there is someone on eBay in New Jersey that has 15 of them that came from a collection from a Canadian Patch Manufacturer that was in business from the 1960s to the early 1990s. Here's a link to the eBay auction: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/13582967654...31PF3E&hash=item1fa0146200:g:GkEAAOSw1hJoLPuU
