I live about a mile from that building... the original plant was knocked down and replaced with small industrial offices and warehouses... used to take a look around the old plant in the 80's when I worked on the next block, amazing what they produced.

Vancouver was once a large truck manufacturing area, Pacific, Hayes, Kenworth and Freightliner plants all closed now... in fact, I now work in the old KW factory converted into a transit overhaul and garage.

mining company in Soda Springs Idaho according to the club website...

technically the company still exists, Coast Powertrain bought all the intellectual property http://www.coastpowertrain.com/pacific_truck/index.htm and support the remaining units.

I'm sure BMT'er Bob Dingsdale could give you the full story...
