Another source for rubber products is www.diamondtrubber.com Mr Gib Epling Caldwell Ohio 43724 740-732-6056 They started as Diamond T and have expanded to Federal, Mack, and some others. If you have the old part they can make you a new one for almost everything. Brocky

JT Congratulation on your find and purchase. Looks like truck you can enjoy without a lot of time and money up front.. Brocky

Larry You just learned what we discussed on another topic a while ago. NEVER TRUST A GPS!!!! or for that matter Mapquest or other computer generated mapping systems. Remeber that the Geeks who put the information into the computer probably have never driven a car, let alone a big truck, off the interstate and their local city streets. Go to Wally World and pay $6 for a Raqnd McNally road atlas then double check your computer generated routing against what it looks like on the map, and then look at alternatives. After the interesting "scenic tour" I hope that you had a good racing weekend. Brocky

Which cylindar are you asking about?? All the above answers are for the added on horizontal one. If you are asking about the vertical one in front of it, that would be a power steering resevoir.

There were 115 trucks and 58 farm tractors registered. A great show with nice weather and a sunburned face.

I have found it is easier to shift without the clutch with the old mechanical engines, especially at higher speeds, than the new electronic ones. Like Larry I do it by ear and feel and with the electronics you just do not feel the pump with your right toe. brocky

I have always liked my Yuengling. Usta have to haul it south from my daughters, now I can buy it in SC..

I wonder if that State of NY dump truck is a Brockway??? Looks like their EPA got started before it was "politically correct" Thanks for sharing the pictures, please keep them comming.

I have been doing it on everything, when I use the clutch, for 50 plus years so it is just an automatic action for my left leg. Attached is an article i wrote for one of the truck club newsletters Brocky Double clutching.doc

This should stir up a hornets nest!!

Here is http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/Topic870.aspx?PageIndex=99a link to a half hour slide show / video in Australia. Several shows in one there are Macks in the middle. The post with to link to the video is at the bottom of the page.

57 BCR Allis Chalmers orange is known as Persian Orange and is fairly dark. Very close to the J I Case Flambeau Red. Omaha Orange is a bright Orange, used on a lot of Municipal (town,county,state) Trucks Brocky

Ron The typing is the hard part.. Our ATHS chapter is attempting to make me a writer out of a dumb butt truck driver!! A lot of it is the same ole BS, you just have to put it in print. All you need is a computer that will type as you talk to it, then sit back and tell your stories. With the picture to go with the story in your hand it would be easy to tell the story. Brocky

OD The pictures of Bedford reminded me Do you ever pull abrasive grit out of Wheelbrator in Bedford I was in there quite often with a van trlr for the last few years before I retired. Back Hauls from our DC in Luray to Laredo. Brocky

Tim If you have an interest in trucks, and trucking experiences (tales and lies) in Australia check out the following website: http://forums.justoldtrucks.com // Peter J's Place // Down Under AU, NZ it is getting up on 90 pages long with lots of truck pictures with some roos and snakes and guns and slang definations etc etc all mixed in I also like your superliner.. are those floats on the steering?? Brocky

Is this the size boar you go chasing around after??? More info at http://forums.justoldtrucks.com // Peter J's Place // topic: Down Under AU,NZ page 86

Mike Here is another Brockway with the vestibule type body. I wonder if there was an company in Central NY who made them for Brockway?

Ron There is no price listed, Just a phone # 803-238-0903. This would be a downsate truck due to the area code. Brocky

The article on Allis Chalmers engines was in the Nov/Dec 2010 issue of the ATHS Wheels of Time. If you are an ATHS member you can go to the home page top right enter your member number and acess the issue. Brocky

The whole story is NOT known. During the late 40's thru the mid 50's the design engineering departments at DT and IH had a very close working arrangement. The people in the know have since passed away, but it assumed that they worked togather in the design of the conventional "Comfovision" cab which was stamped by the Chicago Cab Co and assembled in the individual plants. The DT 22 series spring loaded counterbalanced manual tilt LCF cab, which IH used as the VCO cab, was designed by the Murty Bros of Portland OR under contract to Mr. Tilt of DT. IH used the DT plant in Chcicago to build heavy duty, special order, R model IH trucks which would have tied up the regular production line in Fort Wayne. IH also used DT to build prototypes as industrial esponage mis-information. The nickname Emeryville came from these trucks first being built at the IH Emeryville CA plant. Brocky

Here is another of the prototypes using the LCF Diamond T 22 series cab set up and to the back. It has Diamond T badges and the picture is taken at the DT factory in Chicago. After about 5 pages of discussion on the ATHS What am I forum in 2009 it was finally decided that it went on to become the Emeryville.

Jim beat me to it! Just Old Trucks is a great forum. Lots and Lots of pictures of all makes. Plus the daily WAI picture question section moved over there from the ATHS site.

Bullhusk Did the Richard Dahn outfit also have some pnuematic tanks pulling cement out of Northampton,Nazereth, Bath PA area? Seems I remember them back in the 70's-80's? Brocky

Mark I am glad to see Campbells is still in business. 20-25 years ago when I drove for Oliver Trucking pulling Records out of CBS in Pitman we used them as a cartage agent. Very nice people to deal with, Some of the family lived on the same street as the terminal and with a phone call you could load/unload 24/7. Brocky

Since the Werner trucking family also owns the Werner Ladder Company it is hard to tell if there is a connection.
