Thanks! Hope somebody can use it.
I don't know much about ACs, or any crawlers. Always assumed that color was Persian pink, but maybe that is something different.
The HD5s were popular around here in a logging configuration. Seen some in IHC red paint, probably so they could be easily seen and not get a tree dropped on top of them.
Little bit of dodge content -My grandfather had an excavation company out of Blackfoot Idaho - had a big TD...something IHC he dragged around on a lowboy with a dodge WC. Good thing it's mostly flat there. He built roads all over Idaho with the CCC before that.
Most of his equipment was gone by time I came on the scene - he invested in a new Oliver crawler in the '50s and claimed that between the constant downtime for repairs and the cost of parts it ate everything he'd saved over the years and sank his business. Some design problem with an expensive bearing in the undercarriage maybe. After that he went to work for the county and gave the WC away to somebody in the local Mormon church leadership. Always wanted to find that truck but it's no doubt had the same sad fate as the crawler you mentioned.
