The HVSS drill was similar to the M32F, Finning called it the "M40F". A few M32's were rebuilt with HVSS and would look pretty much like the M40F. The use of surplus equipment on the West Coast could fill a book. There were half tracks with yarders on them, M26 tank retrievers as spar carriers, M4 tractors used as drill carriers and fire fighters, etc. The so called "M4A3" carrier was sold by Napco to a few yarder manufacturers as the "Napco Spar Carrier". I think I have the manual for one here, somewhere.
