Brocky

That Kevin All name rings a bell?? Is he also big into Brockways???

Paul (Cruiseliner): Start Saving Your Penny's!!!!!!! To do Australia right you will need at least a month.. There are many truck shows and museums as well as all the historical and tourist places. MrsMack should be able to help you find a lot of these.

JC: The song Waltzing Matilda is the unofficial Australian national anthem. It was written c1895 by a poet Peterson as a protest song in the sheep shearer's strike. A full translation is on Wikeapedia. Here is the famous Slim Dusty performing it at the closing ceremonies if the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.

Tommy, I survived two weeks Down Under and came home to tell about it!!! I enjoyed that programmed tour very much!! I wanted to go back for a self guided, rental car, motels and pubs trip, but could never swing it. ATHS past president's John Vanatta's daughter Stephanie is the travel agent who built the ATHS Down Under Tour. She did an excellent job of combining regular tourist sites with the Aussie National show of antique trucks (over1000), and 2 attached museums in Alice Springs, and her father's connections in the antique truck world so that we not only did their National show but also several private collections including Tony Champion's MACK museum.

Chewy Contact one or more of your local farm tractor collector clubs for someone knowledgeable in working on the points / tune up of your engine. That person can probably also help with your coil problems??

There seems to be several of these Brockway Torpedo's restored.. Do you know the approximate number built????? And why the Torpedo's being restored and not other models???

Obviously the trucks took a boat ride to get there, BUT are you on a boat ride to take the pictures?????

Here is a better picture of the 1974 Brockway tanker that is in the background of my Huskiteer pictures. Taken by Jim Hancock on Main St at the Cortland NY show.

Here are a couple of pictures of a c1970 Brrockway 358 for sale at Buddy Sombart's auction. I was interested, but it was too far gone for my shop and ability's.

White Motor bought Autocar in 1952, then REO and DT in 1957 & 58. In 1960 White closed the DT asssembly plant in Chicago and moved production to the REO plant in Lansing MI. White then was building Diamond T's, REO's and White 2000's, along with some special order heavy duty Whites on the same line at the Lansing plant using the REO cab for vocational trucks and the Autocar cab for OTR trucks. There could be 3 identical trucks come down the assembly line and drive out the door as 3 different brands!! May 1st, 1967 White Motor officially combined DT and REO and created the name Diamond REO... Then in the 70's White went belly up!!!!

I was thinking that the Raider and Royale were built by white in the early 70's before White sold DR to the oil man????? There was another construction company by the name of Kemp(??) that had a lot of the air cooled Deutz DR Giants. About 2018 - 2020 I saw one being used as a sign truck on the PA Pike. Then after Osterlund, who was in Carlisle PA, went out of business a group of his employees continued to build some trucks in Harrisburg PA under the name "T-Line" into the mid 20teens.

Dave, Thank you for this topic. I am not educated enough in fire apparatus to find out the details as most of mine were taken at shows. I always enjoy watching the vehicles work. I remember many years ago on Saturday afternoon at Macungie, in the field that is now transport parking there was a port-a-pond was set up and several trucks were working. I especially enjoyed the front mounted Arens Fox piston pumper jump up and down. Here is a picture of the display trucks working at the Vintage Trucks of Florida show in Leesburg FL about 4 years ago.

How is he able to pardon someone who has not been convicted of a crime?????? Due to "Slow Joe's" Mental incompetence I wonder how many of these were written by the "Deep State" people who surround Biden and shoved under his nose to sign, so they can cover their own a$$es????????

The first one in my 4 picture post is also a Brockway Torpedo lettered as being from Lyme Conn..

Here is another picture of the 1925, maybe you can read the sides better??? I do not remember the whole story on the Argentinian truck.. Possibility if Tom Millard (oldspwr) checks in he can tell us a lot more about it??? Also 2 more Huskiteeers the red one is retired City of Cortland and the yellow one might be owned my Mike Yarnell(???) as it is at Mucungie most years. The red 359 tanker behind them I think is a retired milk pick up tanker refurbished as a water tanker.

Here are some retired ones.. a couple are in the museum in Cortland NY. The 1925 was driven from Argentina to Cortland to trade it in for a new one. Needless to say the new one got a boat ride home.

Here are some active ones from the Cortland NY Brockway Show.

Aaron's tanker falls in a "Contractor" class is is called out on a for hire basis for large brush wildfires.

AGWAY's Fuel oil depot right on the river in Odgensburg!!!!!!!! When the thermometer on the side of the rack said 28 below and God only knows what the wind chill factor was across the frozen St. Lawrence?????

Geoff, Been there, done that!!!! Hauling potatoes out of upcounty Maine...

I was born and raised on the outskirts of Ithaca.. I am the newsletter editor for the ATHS Palmetto Upstate Chapter.. Please send me your son's email address in an email or PM and I will add him to my mailing list.. Possible we can meet at one of our events when you come down to visit.. Our Dacusville SC show on Labor Day weekend is our best..

Back in the 70's when I drove for Matlack hauling for AGWAY farm suppply we blended any where between 25% to 50%, depending on weather and distributor specs, kero and #2 fuel in one hole barrel trailers while loading.

Welcome to the BMT site.. I see you are from Western NY, I am from the Finger Lakes now in South Carolina.. We love pictures!!! As long as they are not of snow butt deep to a 10 foot Indian!! This is a great group of guys who can eventually answer most any question asked. But DO NOT Mind us when we go off topic

The yellow one in the third row may be a Pacific?????

This is a normal problem.. When I went from a Vermont antique registration to a South Carolina title on my 49 Diamond T 201, I had to do the same thing.. Made an appointment and the girl came out took a look at the VIN plate on the cowl and took a picture on HER phone.. She did not ask to see the number stamped in the the frame and I DID NOT suggest it to her!!!!
