One of Basil's great friends was Claude Butler of the Butler Brothers Corporation.

Claude asked Basil if he could build a logging truck that could carry more logs than any other.
I am not sure if he built all of these but I know he built more than one.

The following pictures are courtesy of Travis Butler from his collection.

Thank you Travis.
