Hippy You Guessed right!!! That was the dipstick access and also it had a fitting on the air inlet pipe so you could squirt ether thru the door as the compression release cable handle was right behind the shifting lever.. This model truck also had the counter balanced spring loaded cab tilt which was designed by the Murty Bros of Portland OR

It is not just the recent stuff.. My 92 Caddy, if you leave the keys in it with it shut ,off it will lock the doors with the keys in it so if you not have a spare lock key on another ring you are S-O-L!!!!! Ask me how I know!!!!!

That is the Diamond T 931 which is a squared of version of the 921 which was the "China Closet". Yest that is a sleeper on the back of the cab.. Also a carry over from the 921. This is my 1959 model 921.

Due to weight regulations the twin steer trucks were a lot more popular in both Canada and Australia. You might try asking on here:: https://www.hcvc.com.au/forum -
Roadways U model
Brocky replied to mowerman's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I would say the 8V-71 as when I worked for Roadway 1969 to 1972 all the R-700s had 8V-71's. I know the Akron Ohio shop had rebuilt engines on the shelf. Would swap engines and have the tractor back on the road in less than half a day.. -
Roadways U model
Brocky replied to mowerman's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Supposedly the short bumpers were to keep the ends from affecting the operation of the steering tires when hit and pushed back.. Went from the short bumper to rubber ends and today they are mostly fiberglass?/ -
Roadways U model
Brocky replied to mowerman's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Actually it is the same cab as the R model, just offset to the left even with the left fender.. What made it cramped was more engine in it.. Bigger doghouse.. -
Rent a camper one way and fly the other.. We moteled it and it is 100 miles between towns so you either had to stop early or hunt for one late.. There are plenty of pull offs to park and spend the night..
-
I am the same way.. When we went to the Yakima WA show, then to Alaska and back, About the only time we were on the Interstate is when the old US Hwy got on for a few exits..

Tom Thanks for the pictures.. It is hard to tell in the picture BUT<That 761 Brockway may be one of the last with a tilt hood??????

Thanks Guys for the good work!!

My Neighbor was running a reefer the west coast at that time with a KW and Big Cat, 5X4.. He had to run pantyhose over the air filters inlets as a precleaner to keep them from plugging up with volcanic ash..

Mike This gives you a good reason to take a trip Down Under!!!! Between this website:: https://www.hcvc.com.au/forum and Stephanie Vanatta, who built the ATHS Down Under Tour in 2015, we can build you a trip with many antique truck museums and people on it. Send me an email and I will send you her email contact.You have to schedule it for August 2025 to attend the big Australian National Show in Alice Springs.. -
That is a good story!! And I presume you are sticking to it????? What did Miss Zena catch you doing this time?????
-
OK Paul!!! Actually someone must have spent a bunch of time and money building it.. And/or scrounging pieces from other trucks and building it..
-
But neither of them had a 1 piece windshield.. And it does Not look like the IH Compfovision cab either??? Totally flat windshield with the wipers mounted above it.. This truck may have a Diamond T chassis and power train but that whole cab assembly came from somewhere else!!!!!
-
Bob, I just sent an email to several Brockway Truck Preservation Assn members that I know to confirm the date. Hang in there, I should have an answer this week and will post.

I got my Diamond T that way.. The old man did not want to sell.. stopped by about every 6 months to BS and listen to his stories.. 2 years later he passed away on one of his sons called me to see if I still wanted it..

I live in an 1800 Sq FT stick house also.. I do NOT know how old parts of it are, But the ceiling joists are rough sawed lumber and I found one Ceder Log as a floor joist..
