Brocky

Here is a link to the NH Craigslist just posted on the Just Old Trucks website: http://nh.craigslist.org/hvo/5... Seen for sale.html

Thanks for the pictures.. Looks like a great day for all..

If you are going "Down Under" for parts and info check out Tony Champion (Volvo Commercial Vehicles) Rockhampton Queensland. His corporate sign may say Volvo BUT there are none on the lot!! this sign is in his parts / show room.

Red Horse Yes Brockway built many 361 and 761 trucks with the 12V-71 Detroit. Mainly for the big Long Island sand buckets. There are always a few at the Cortland show and parade in August. Search brockwaytrucks.org and there are several topics on the restoration of 12V-71 units. Mack bought Brockway in 1956, but apparently did not combine much of the engineering/design departments until the early 70's when Brockway introduced the Sheller Globe R model cab in 1975 as the 700 series.

First Brockway made both the 761 set back front axle and the 760 set forward axle so the new "Super Liner" truck could have been built either or both ways. By 1975-6 you could get a Brockway with a glass tilt hood. There are some around.. Second Sheller Globe made these cabs as well as the R model, even though it looks like a R model cab there were some differences, especially in the cowl area and they are not totally interchangeable.. By the time of Paul's pictures the long square hood was already built and Brockway was playing mostly with headlights,grilles and bumpers. Look at that straight on picture the headlights are different sided to side. Third one of the main reasons Mack closed Brockway was labor problems. The wheels at the union put the workers out on strike even though the workers were willing to work without a contract til things could be settled.

Basically if "non of the above" were listed on the ballot it would win!!!

Vlad Definitely a demolition material / scrap metal type body..

Vlad Are those pictures of your truck or the one Tomer had mentioned on JOT??

All the easier to see the 'roos and camels at night.

Swishy We had several companies in the States running similar (mostly Freightliner) equipment hauling auto parts. There was a fairly long topic on these on one of the forums about 2-3 years ago under the Heading of: Stoops Freightliners.

Attached is a link about a DM(??) free in Alaska.. Sounds like a Vlad retrieval from last summer. http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/101192/guard-your-Macks If anyone interested cannot send Tomer a PM let me know and I will try

Did UPS have any 6X6's??? I can see a petroleum outfit or a fire department having one..

I just received my October 2016 Hemmings Classic Car magazine today and there is a short article in the back about the Super Pumpers.. No idea as to how correct it is??

Billy Did you notice the "wrecker" that the golf cart rental outfit had to retrieve the broke down carts at both Springfield MO and York PA.. It was a cute little thing on a golf cart chassis.

Bob When you schedule the Mack Museum also put the America On Wheels on the schedule.. It is not much further into town and a lot more Macks as well as other stuff..

That is a 3X3 block.. The ones I saw in Iowa were a 3 Wide by 5 long block. After he put them in the lock they split off the first 3X3 block then he backed out and then lowered them, winched them out, then brought the tug and 3X2 block in, lowered them, then tied it all back together while the tug was still in the lock. And did the same with an upriver bound set at the same time.. Quite an interesting process to watch!!!

Thanks for the big boat pictures.. Have you ever seen them going thru the locks??? Those boys can do some serious driving!! Those 3 wide barges fit in with only inches to clear on either side.. And they have to be square before they start in.. Guttenburg Iowa has bleacher in the city park where you can sit and watch them. I spent a couple of hours there while the wife checked out the "JUNK" stores!!!

Jim Thanks!! That is what I thought , But was not sure.. Guess I need a tape recorder attached to my camera so I can remember what all the pictures are??

Here is the Ralph Smith H model in Tony Champions collection Down Under.. Ron will have to tell us if it is the red or blue one. I cannot remember??

Damn!! THat Brisket looks great!!! I am on my way to Gladys...

I've been to Floyd a few times!!

Love your big city!!! Even larger than the one I live in!!! Thanks for the pictures.. You are enjoying your vacation. Always like to take the back roads..

Paul and Tim Build a bigger garage!!!! Actually have so much "stuff" in the garage mine does not fit.. Have gone from Single, to club, to full crew cab over the past 20 years.. So much more comfortable when you take friends to shows and haul the grocerys home!!

OD Thanks for the pictures.. Have seen the signs for those dams and lakes. Southwestern VA is very pretty countryside.

Larry Our liberal press will not cover the RNC as they do not view conservativaties as needing support, BUT I bet the news media will have Billiarys face in the news all this week from the DNC.. Just like before with Obumma..
