    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??????

    Probably the best people to give you a guesstimate on price would be Gary Mahan in NJ or the Nuss collection in Minnesota..

    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..

    Was that chassis originally a fire truck??? The bell and siren say so???

    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.

    I remember that at one of the ATHS national shows there was a man from California, with blue KW's with a gold stripe, that had a performance Cummins(??) engine mounted on a trailer with one of these electric retarders mounted behind it that he used to put a load on the engine when he fired it up.

    Same here, but so far just one quick heavy shower.

    Dunno about CT!! But in SC the antique truck application only asks for empty/tare weight. NO gross weight needed!!

    Paul, Diesel up here has gone up about a dollar and a half a gallon since this started. Gas also but not as much. I can understand with the Straight closed the import of crude is down and this will affect FUTURE prices. BUT BUT why has the price of the already refined product jumped overnight??????? I think the oil companys are ripping us off!!!!!!!!

    A pencil pusher "engineer" who never drove a truck??????

    Basically you are right!! That is one of the names for the additional lights either in or below the bumper, white or yellow, for better visibility in poor weather conditions. The best were made by Perlux and had fins to keep the light from blinding oncoming traffic.

    We both like the dill pickle chips you can find a some restaurants here in the south.

    And check for the corrosion working its way back under the insulation breaking the wire??

    I think Geoff is right on adding diagonal cables on the end. Possible a couple of sheets of the roofing material or aluminum channel / angle iron across the end to add some structural strength but leaving the top and bottom open to let the air out when the wind blows??? How well is it anchored??? Dig 4 or 6 holes under the bottom lengthwise rails and fill with concrete then drill some anchor bolts into them??

    Also check out the parking lot.. There may be an impromptu truck show out there by the pizza joint????

    The alum steers and painted drives would be period correct with painted steel trailer wheels... Unless you but a trailer with Alum rims!!!

    In SC it is supposed to cool off this weekend and back into the 40's next week

    Haggerty has a deal with ATHS for a discount.. Talked with my State Farm girl, the first she had heard of it, and she confirmed it>
  23. Brocky
    I have used State Farm over the years and now the are merging with Haggerty.. So far the price has come down..
  24. Brocky
    Contact either Brad Patterson (brad@aths.org) Chapter person or Courtney Cesar (courtney@aths.org) handles events or Call ATHS at 816-891-9900.. One of the two should know by now what antique trucks ATHS will have in their display.

    That is why we ran 2 or 3 log books!!!!!
