    Paul,Dumb Butt question!!! Maybe I missed something, but how come you went up thru Mackay to Townsville and back down before you started south toward home????

    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!!!

    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.

    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.

    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..
  19. Brocky
    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???
  21. Brocky
    Or look for the spring which holds them open.. Possibly broken??? Or rusted shut???
  22. Brocky
    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.
  23. Brocky
    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.
  24. Brocky
    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"
