Trevor Cameron’s 1974 Hayes Clipper

Cameron bought it to restore and finished the project in the spring of 2000. His intention at that time was to put it to work as a winch truck doing light oilfield work in Alberta and western Canada, but “the end result of all effort turned out to be far too nice, so I just didn’t have the heart to put her to work,” he says. The rig has been a show truck since.
