    Alex, You should post the Brockway picture on the Brockway Message Board, they would love it. http://www.brockwayt...board/index.php

    Schwerman colors were black cab with red stripe, and a stripped bumper from early on, to B-models, to Whites, to first batch of R-models. In the mid seventies, probably around the time of the first batch of 300 engines they changed the color to the white roof and top of hood. After that, I believe they changed to all white. Schwerman also goes by the name Tank Star.

    Was that IHC origionally an ARCO gasoline (Atlantic Richfield) tractor? Sure looks like the ones that pulled out of the Port of Rensselaer years ago. Nice job.

    They don't usually allow pulling trailers in the parade, with the exception of Mike R, who took a lot of heat for doing it. My photo of the Superliner with the two Brockways made the BMT calender, BTW. I guess I'd have to lay out $30 to see one... Bulldog stuff in Cortland is all in fun, I wouldn't take it seriously.

    Kind of short notice, but there will be plenty of Macks at the Uncle Sam Show, I know this one will be there...

    Vinny, I just noticed it the other day, when I got another PM. I figured the statute of limitations ran out on it...

    The B-models that Carolina Freight had were bought second hand from Bell Lines of Charleston WV and used as city tractors, in the mid-eighties there were still a few left used as yard tractors with hyd-fifth wheels, saw several at the terminal in Avenal NJ. Schwerman Trucking is the only company that I ever heard of having Roadrangers in B-Models, and that was according to my Father.

    PennYan didn't have V12 Detroits, they had 903 Cummins in their Brockways and their Fords. Inland Express had V12's in their Freightliner COE's

    Have been driving an 2009 Pinnacle the past few days, It has an MP7 motor, was wondering about the engine specs, hp etc. If anyone has access, the vin is 1M1AW01X99N001453. Seems pretty strong, but havn't pulled much weight yet, top rpm is 1800.

    Back in the mid seventies I worked part time a few summers for Schwerman Trucking who at the time had all R-models rangeing about the years 1971 to 1976. Between the two terminals there were probably 75 tractors, and rarely did you get the same tractor, so there were a lot of different interiors between the years. I remember the gauges towards the center and offset, and also a different color green. I'm guessing the years could have been 72 or 73, because I believe the tan vinyl interior came out in 1974.

    I've been told to watch out for ex-bus engines, because they spin the opposite way.

    Vinny, Try this for Hanks truck forum, http://hankstruckforum.com/htforum/index.php

    Vinny, You would go to "favorite truck" and then under Mack, you would have to go thru them. The MB Mack was once a Schaefer beer truck, Schaefer had a brewery in Albany years ago.
  17. dockmen027
    That's the place, only I've heard that they are not interested in selling anything. I've posted a couple of photos of this outfit on Hanks, including the one you just did Vinny.

    ABF has 329 Pinnacles on order for 2011, hope to see some of them rolling of the assembly line at the time of the Macungie Show.

    Here is what I have, there are still a few trailers around being used for storage. The two top ones are mine from the Albany area, and the other Fred Gruin Photo is borrowed from Hank's. Try using Dorn's Transportation in your search. http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/pix/trucks/fgruin/d/fg_dorns_transportation_1a.jpg http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/pix/trucks/fgruin/d/fg_dorns_transportation_1b.jpg
