Brocky

And play on the computer!!! I have no place close to join a "breakfast LIARS table" at Hardees or the like so go from the kitchen and the news to the computer to check emails and truck sites. Then the next thing you know its past noon and nothing gets done!!!

I cannot remember now?? He may be to Cherokee next month??

SC has permanent trailer plates for a commercial trailer for about $100 lifetime with no yearly property tax.. Non Commercial utility trailers do not need a plate.. BUT BUT the other states sort of frown on this!! About 10 years ago SC came out with a permanent utility, "UP" prefix, for $75 and no yearly property tax. This is what I have on my 32 foot gooseneck enclosed car trailer. All of our chapter members pull their regular work trailers with Antique Vehicle plated tractors with no problems.

Looks like you will have good weather!!! It is almost 100 miles further away than Harrisonburg was.. So I am going to take the DT to a local Special Olympics fundraiser car show 40 miles from the house!!..

Also the Sheller Globe, Mack look alike, R model cab that Brockway used will not interchange with the Mack cab as the cowls are different for the Brockway Butterfly hood.

But, I am not a dirty old man at 76!! I am still in training!!!

Got my Double Clutch yesterday.. Very Good job Michael!!!

Jet Propulsion?????

Barry, An update!! The restoration shop is Tracked Lifts and I think(??) there is a museum by the name of Wheels of Liberation?? Both are in New Oxford PA..

Barry, Go over the Just Old Trucks website, John Gott and Jeff Lakaszcyck (pronounced La-cash-check) are very knowledgeable military truck people.. http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/149453/1968-Mack-M123A1C-10-Ton-Army-Tank-Transporter There is also an outfit around New Oxford PA who restore military stuff but I cannot remember the name right offhand?? Hope this helps

Vlad, It is a low air pressure warning device that dropped a flag directly in front of your eyes!!! Long before electric warning buzzers and lights..

Paul, Ed Edminision (SP??) of Dubbo QLD has Dick Crispell's 75 or 76 Brockway 761, painted Omaha orange, with an 475HP 8V92 which he imported in the late 90's or early 2000's. Archie Baines in VIC has a 50's RHD model 88 in his boneyard. When I was there in 2015 my camera battery died before I got a picture of it..

Capt'n, Do you have any older style rubber hoses in the system??? If so maybe this new ethenal gas is eating it up inside??? And causing pieces to flake off and shut you down??

Actually Brockway's made it world wide.. Peter Grimm's hearse came from Brazil and there is a late 30's Brockway fire truck in the museum which they drove up from Argentina to trade in on a new Brockway. When I was Down Under in 2015 Archie Baines had a right hand drive post war Model 88 in his Victoria AU bone yard. There is also a WW 2 era Military Brockway 6 X 6 that has been restored in England.

I agree with Vlad! With the Bull Bar and front mud flaps I also thought it was Australian at first.. Until I saw who posted it, but there are some big Elk, Antalope, and Mule Deer in the Rocky Mtns..

Vlad and Aussie Mack: Are you sure the last R in the model number refers to the R model chassis or to the Down Under right hand drive???????

Not bad for having the Canadian boys blocked out and some people still scared of this virus.. I think the record was the 2012 100th anniversary show with 158(?) on the street and 9 more at the museum. Where were the trucks and museum spectators parked with the building of the new fire house part of the museum??? Eric's videos showed a very open field???

Or look for the spring which holds them open.. Possibly broken??? Or rusted shut???

Tom and Eric, Thanks for taking the time to post all these pictures and videos. Several trucks I have not seen before.. What was the display count this year?? This show is on my planning list for next year.

Bob, I think if it went to Australia about the only man down there, with that big a checkbook to also include shipping, would be Tony Champion. He already has several left hand drive vehicles in his collection.

Did the steel (hard) nose trucks have a larger radiator for better cooling in adverse vocational conditions???

Tom Clancy had the right idea at the end of his novel "Debt of Honor"

Yes Paul, That is another Yank term for the hand trailer application valve on the steering column. Again another of the Yank vs Aussie variance in names for stuff that I touched on in another post!!

That would depend on if it had a PTO pump mounted?? The shift lever wear is probably because all were short trips!! Probably not into 5th that often??

Paul, Yes it is one of the MANY variations of the mother English language!!! Up here a Combine is so named because it combined the processes of the reaper which cut and bundled the grain with the stationary grain threshing machine. If you call your grain planting machine a combine, it is maybe because it both plants the seed and fertilizes it at the same time? We call it a drill as it has discs and tubes to place the seed properly in the ground.. Up here we can also plant grass seed at the same time if using the grain crop as a cover crop. Many More: Bonnet=hood, Boot=trunk, guard=fender, Paddock= lot or pasture, shed= barn or garage, Pommy=English!!! Yank=American I could go on and on!! Our trip Down Under in 2015 was very educational!!!
