Poor old Ford truck that dozer would have the capability to pull it apart

Carnerd Mark
1936 Ford - 85hp max on a good day.

Towing out a bogged logging truck.

Paul Ev Robertson
Could anyone provide more information about this photograph please. Where was it taken and who owned the truck? I am interested as my Grandfather, ( John Queripel ) owned a truck the same year as the one photographed, and I am looking for more information and photographs regarding his trucking business in the Buller District.

My father Colin fell native timber from Karamea to Charleston and raised 6 children we don't agree with Greenies as the tree's that were cut had served their time and correctly dropped with out damaging others.

Bert Chandler
Truck is more than likely broken down, doesn't look stuck
