    I remember the pull type bagger combines also. In 1957 one of our neighbors was in the Agri-trucking business and bought a Massey Harris self propelled combine with about a 10-12 foot header and corn picker/sheller to go with his 1956-57 Chevy 10500 with a 16 foot grain body and overhead over the cab for hay. In the spring he hauled lime and fertilizer, then grain all over, hay to the horse race tracks, and coal out of the Scranton PA area back to our houses.

    Paul, I like your brown and cream paint job.. In the mid 80's Chevy/GMC had a 2 tone scheme similar on their pickup trucks.

    A VERY good job!! Your man who made it for you must have had a lot of patience also!!! It took me a minute to figure out what the vertical sliders were in the back corners.. Did The L model only have exhaust louver type vents?? Does the air inlet come thru the heater system? Do those sliding doors seal well enough to prevent heat loss??? Are you adding AC??

    Red Horse, Even though the suction line is normally a vacuum line, if you put 5 PSI of pressure in the tank the suction line "should" leak/seep??

    We always enjoy pictures of your countryside!! Whether on a truck retrieval run or just a Bike / car ride.. I have forwarded you earlier topics pictures to my son-in-law who is 2nd generation Ukrainian. That wrecker looks like a cross between what we call a roll back and a ramped low boy trailer, with an under axle lift mounted on the back?? Got some more pictures of it???

    The last 50 Brockways went to Iran for oil field work. These were ordered before the strike and Mack had to complete the order. They were Assembled by management people in a Miami FL warehouse.

    I am thinking that the 300 series Brockways had the shutters behind the radiator also????

    Most of today's bumper ends are now plastic, rubber, or fiberglass which will not bite into a tire like steel.

    Swishman, YES basically they are, BUT at times they are too close to get good individual pictures although plenty of room to walk around the trucks.. Jeff over on the JOT site is better at getting individual pictures than I am.. Here are a few overall pictures. I could not get the pictures to come up with Postimage but I did a link to them come thru. You will have to click on the link then each picture to bring them to full size. https://postimg.cc/gallery/SXxt2zS

    NO.. The C model used the L model cab.. The N model used the Budd / Ford style cab.

    Sorry I did not make the picture.. Did not realize there was going to be one as I was offline after Tues PM..

    You are correct on the Compfovision being stamped by Chicago Cab Co. The IH Compfovision cab that Diamond T used was slightly different in the cab mount area as they assembled them at the DT plant whereas everybody else bought the assembled cab from IH.
  21. Brocky
    Will see you there.. Look for my little DT under the tree across from registration.

    Good Work!!!

    That is why the Brockways and Autocars had the big heavy grille guards.. Nobody passed on big hills, they just pushed!!
  24. Brocky
