Description:
Pacific is one
of the more notable former Canadian truck manufacturers, having a
worldwide reputation for robust trucks in logging, oilfield, and a
number of other demanding applications. The model P-500F comes from an
interesting period in Pacific's history where they were owned by
International Harvester. It was made from about 1974 to 1981. A keen eye
will notice that the cab on this model is shared with IH's Paystar
conventionals of the time.
Some of the things that made the P-500 series remarkable in the
on/off-highway market were robust construction, serviceability and
exceptional ground clearance. While it's quite a climb into the cab, the
view is impressively commanding and even the most basic-spec Pacific
trucks had interior trim rivaling other manufacturers' premium
offerings. This mod hopes to capture some of that majesty.
