    My Diamond T 201 has the Clark rear on 7.50 X 16 spokes.. It is screaming at 40 (+/-) MPH!! I do not drive it much on the road as I do not trust the brakes that far to stop 5000 pounds.. If he plans on driving it much Jim's idea of an overdrive box is probably easier/cheaper than trying to change the rear??

    Thanks Ken.. It is in the works!! ATHS and travel agent Stephanie Anton, santon@cruiseplanners.com , are working on working on another Down Under Tour to the Truckie's Reunion at Alice Springs in 2020. Stephanie did an excellent job of putting together the two week 2015 Tour which not only was the Hall of Fame in Alice Springs but included many normal tourist sites as well as the Tony Champion Mack Collection and 4 more private collections in the Melbourne area. My report on the whole trip is here: http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/84264/Down-Under-Trip If anyone is interested in going contact Stephanie to get on her mailing list.

    I still have a flip phone (almost new) and it resides in the cup holder in my truck..Road emergency or work related only.. very seldom use it.. and erase missed calls unless it is a number I recognize..

    Jim, Thank You.. Mr Saunders collection does some fine pieces. BUT I personally think he over does the Bling!! There was not that much chrome in that era, especially on working trucks??

    CG, Not entirely.. The Triple Nickel is a lot smaller than a 8-71 or 903..

    The Red Head must be keeping him busy????

    I have a Brockway 358 with a V8 engine out in the barn.. Cummins 504 cubic inch.. the same engine as the 555 "Triple Nickel" but with a 1/2 inch shorter stroke.. Notorious for breaking cranks in hard work.. Good for a hobby truck.

    Thank you KS.. I Have been up to this weekend celebration several years and The Brockway Preservation Assn are great people who work hard for this show.

    Tom That Carter Spartan 100 still exists. I believe it was the first new tractor that the late Ed Carter bought for his trucking business.. Here it is at the 2016 Special Olympics Convoy on a trailer. The Pete pulling it is also I think Ed's first Pete with his grandson, John, driving it??

    Carolina Freight also had about 37 Brockway cabovers (Basically the Mack F model) 225 Cummins and 10 speed. 11k steers and 38k drives

    Jim Aaron Benito over on JOT can probably give you some answers to a lot of questions about it.

    KBS has a rust killer and clear coat that would preserve it. Go to Eddy Lucast on Just Old Trucks.com for details.

    The ATHS Palmetto Upstate Chapter has gotten word that there will be a truck show on Sept 15th before the race at Anderson Speedway, Williamston SC.. Several of us are planning to attend. Possibly I will see you there??

    Blackdog Thank you for the info.. have forwarded it to him.. He hit a big rock at the end of his driveway.. Not his daily driver, wheel is definitely bent by the block of wood, so is putting on spare to see if it is the one and cures his vibration. Will go from there. Yuppie kids and their big toys!!!

    Hat, thank you.. That is the info I was looking for..
  22. Brocky
    Thank You FWD!! That is exactly what I was asking.
  23. Brocky
    My son in law thinks he has bent a wheel on his 3500 Dodge Ram dually. Is there a reputable Truck Tire Shop in the Hartford / New Haven / Waterbury are he can take it to to have it checked out?? He lives in Cheshire and works in New Haven. Thanks in advance for any info Brocky

    Not unusual!! In the R model era there were still a lot of length law considerations as well as a lot of R models were in day cab / short haul vocational usage.
