    Wayne, If you want B models be sure to put the first weekend of June on your schedule for the ATHS national show in Springfield MO. And/or Fathers Day weekend in the middle of June for the ATCA national show in Macungie PA. From whatever part of KY you are in, either show would be a fairly simple one day travel each way, and at least one whole day at the show.

    I really is NOT a big loss.. For Chevy, Ford or Ram.. The Pete and KW medium duty vehicles are already filling the slot nicely, and may be cheaper to build?

    Joey, Do you have the date Other Dog started posting his Winfall Wimmin friends????

    I am sorry to hear that your family is having problems while trying to settle an estate. It makes me think that, in our wills, ALL of us who own Antique / Historical vehicles should designate someone, knowledgeable in the hobby, to make the dispersal in the best interests for the estate.

    I just paid $4.89 for premium ethanol free today for the Caddy. The price of diesel at my regular convivence store jumped to $5.49 today!!!

    Our diesel prices have been jumping around like a "button on a backhouse door" at the same station for the past 2 weeks. Went from $3.19 before the war started to $3.49 to $4.19 to $4. 59 to $4.99 to $5.09 then up to $5.39 over the last weekend, then back to $4.99 on Thursday (and I bought 30 gal) and today it is back to $5.09?????????

    I have used that low hole 1st on the high side of a 13 speed many times.. Then split it!! It actually splits what would be 5th on the low side into 2 separate speeds which you need at the time.

    I would have thought that the radiator surround / shutters would have gone on ahead of the bumper??? It looks sorta funny without them!!

    Be sure you use ONLY ethanol FREE gas!!!!!!!

    Tom, Depending how big your lot is, it looks like you have room to put up a good garage.. Might still have to worry about zoning problems???

    OOOOOOPS!!!!! I think we should have tied the ferry up better..
  14. Brocky
    You are right.. BUT Tommy lives in a Mobile home and in a Mobile home park(???) so he might have zoning problems with a permanet building??????

    It is probably the flexing loosening up the screws??? So you still have to stabilize it somehow.. And that would take a 5 gallon pail of Lock Tight!!

    KSC, Thank you for the video. The Nuss collection always has a few trucks at Macungie. I have seen that Mack AC sightseeing bus at Macungie the year he had it there. What fantastic woodworking workmanship involved in building it.

    Don, Check with Barry at Watts Mack. They are the sponsors of this website and their phone number is at the top of the page.

    Both the Mack R model and the Brockway 700 series cabs were built by Sheller Globe in Ohio. I have been told the major difference in the cowls was because Mack used a tilt hood and Brockway was still using a butterfly hood. This begs the question: What cowl did Mack use on the Hardnose / Flintstone Models, built before the Brockway cab was built????? Is the Brockway cab a Flintstone cab???

    Aussie Paul, Thank you for taking the time to post all of these excellent pictures. As Irish Paul stated: I wish I could have been there. Thank you for the pictures of Ed Edminston's 761 Brockway. I worked for Dick Crispell, who built that truck, in the summer of 1963 and last saw it in 1989 when I had dropped my trailer at his shop to go to my fathers memorial service. Here is a picture of it in front of his shop that day when it still had the 12V71 in it. He was just back from a show and the blue 1949 Brockway 100 series on the trailer was his wrecker when I worked for him.

    Since you may have to rebuild the carport anchor system can you raise it at the same time??????
  21. Brocky
    Probably the best people to give you a guesstimate on price would be Gary Mahan in NJ or the Nuss collection in Minnesota..
  22. Brocky
    I hate to see that. You put a lot of time and money into getting it working right.. I hope you did NOT lose your shirt too bad. One consolation is you now have room in the car port for the Mack..
  23. Brocky
    Was that chassis originally a fire truck??? The bell and siren say so???
  24. Brocky
    I do not think he needs an engine??? BUT very possibly an in frame overhaul???

    Swishy, Thanks for the videos.. I have seen a few of these trucks in person when I was Down Under in 2015.
