    Rowdy, Please find a family doctor, preferably one associated with the local hospital that you would be taken to from home.. When a hospital assigns you a family doctor it may not a person you like. Talk to your friends and neighbors as to who they like or dislike.. At age 44-5 the doc doing my DOT physical said to see my family doctor as my blood pressure top number was high. Was in the process of a divorce living in the KW and a Post Office box. Couple of years later "Borrowed" some blood pressure pills from a friend and passed again. A year Later I was flat on my back in the hospital with a STROKE!!!

    The Mack Quadrplex will hold up OK behind a 300 as log as you DO NOT LUG the engine. Keep your RPM's up..

    The true "Widow Maker" Split rims are the Firestone 5 degree rims that come apart in the middle of the cross width, Like the ones on my 55 Ford F-600.

    Probably some "safety conscience" person speced it that way for volunteer firemen to get in and out, and for fire service did not need a large fuel capacity?

    Scotty Here is a link to Tom Millard's conversion from a gas 427 CI Continental to a 5.9 Cummins in his 1955 Brockway 155W. Tom is an electrical engineer by trade and a perfectionist restorer. If you search both the Brockway and the Just Old Trucks websites you can find more of his well documented restorations. I also know of a Brockway, with a small wood flatbed, in northeast PA with a Cummins L10 which is running on super single drives. Email me thru here and I can send you a picture and contact info. http://www.brockwaytrucks.org/messageboard/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4952

    All the eastern Matlack trucks had Dayton wheels. Matlack bought out PIE Tank Lines in the later 60's early 70's. Possible they painted PIE Budd wheel trucks Green and yellow????

    The ones you saw were the same teenagers who used to drive their horse and buggy up to the Wagon Wheel diner on RT 30 in Paradise PA and drop a dime in the pay phone to call their friends.

    Dumb Butt Question: Anybody got an idea what the silver gismo ahead of the oxygen tank on the cart is???

    Seed, Not a dumb question.. Actually interesting.. Beyond the Statue of Liberty decal IDK>> Will let the experts answer your question.. Was there also a special power train package???

    Both cabs were built by Sheller Globe in Ohio, But there were a lot of differences.. Besides what Green Giant said there was also a difference in the cowl as Brockway was still using the butterfly hood instead of a tilt hood.

    I remember seeing those covered wagons with a reefer unit on the PA Pike years ago, Thinking a 4 axle tractor also?? Never found out what they were hauling????

    G'Day Harry, Sort of off topic, but in September of 2015 I met Ian and toured his facility. What a fantastic man and place. Here is a link to some pictures of it. Scroll down to the bottom 1/3 of the page. http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/84264/Down-Under-Trip?PageIndex=7

    Red Horse, You are right on the Blank Look!!!! The Super Duty name replaced Big Job in 1958 with the introduction of the 401,477, and 534 Built for trucks engines.

    That looks Aikers Motor Lines Green. I sent you an email thru here.
  24. Brocky
    Agree, but at least that yellow one does NOT have the "Devil's Horns" spot mirrors sticking out of the middle of the hood.

    James, before the White buyout (1958) Diamond T used the IH Comfovision cab, like shown in the above picture. After that they used both the REO cab for vocational use and the Autocar cab for over the road trucks. After 1960 All Diamond T, REO and some special order HD Whites were built at the REO plant in Lansing Mich. Three identical trucks could come down the assembly line and drive out the door as three different makes!! On May 1st, 1967 White motor combined DT and REO and created the name Diamond REO.
