Very nice! i always liked that Red & Gold paintjob on Brockways,i remember both outfits well,if memory serves,Krajack was based in Roselle Park i believe..................thanks for posting!............................Mark

That looks to be a nice clean truck,personally,i'm not diggin' the "blackout grille" but i'm sure price for replacement parts was a factor,as Farmer52 stated,these chrome plated plastic grilles are notorious for peeling,my MH did it,so has my CX.. But other than some stripes,aluminum up front,polish them tanks,its good to go!..........................................Mark

American Towing and Recovery Inc. Newark,NJ..................(not diggin' the square headlights)................................................Mark

I never saw a radiator guard like that on an RW,home made? or factory option?..............................................Mark

Funny! we had an owner-operator at Atlas back when i started,that had a W-series Ford cabover with a 237/5 speed in it! it was kitted with his wrecked F-model,so i guess a FACK?............................................Mark

Looks like one of the old ladies featured in the "armed citizen" from the NRA...........................................................................Mark

Glad to hear no one was hurt! is'nt "thou shalt lowerest body after dumping" one of the 10 commandments? been lucky as to never pulled down any power lines,but back when i was a rookie local mover,i went to a job on a dead-end street,had to turn around,to get back out,not taking into consideration the crown of the road (higher on one side) well,long story short,i took down a SHIT-POT of cable TV wires with the trailer! lemme tell ya' there were a lot of pissed off old ladies and housewives that were going to miss their "stories" and Judge Judy! lucky to have made it out with my life! i called the cops myself,and when they arrived,they said not to worry about it,the wires are supposed to be high enough for trucks to clear,its the cable companies problem! never heard anymore about it!.............Mark

Do look kinda small don't they? needs a set of floats up front!.......................................Mark

I was thinking if he fills up the turn signal fluid reservoir,i may go out and look at it,that stuffs expensive!...................................Mark

My dad looked into trading his 1972 White-Freightliner C.O.E. in on a Powerliner,with a 3408 Cat in it,but the deal fell through,and of all things he ended up with a new peterbilt 359 instead!...........................................Mark

I agree with the smaller 72" sleeper,you can see the vents in both pictures if you look closely.......................................................Mark

Well said Al,i surely agree. i guess i'm one of the lucky ones,as i actually WANTED to be a driver like my Dad and Grandad were. And fortunate enough to be shown the "old school" ways of trucking,keep your truck up & clean,don't look like a bum,take some pride in both your equipment AND yourself,care about the job you do! respect your equipment! i take some degree of "guff" when i talk trucks with the newer drivers,"why waste the time and effort.it's just a truck" my answer is usually "No,its not just a truck,its my home,office & bedroom,it pays my bills,keeps a roof over my families head,is putting my wife through college,and many other things" and besides, thats MY name on the door! and no,i did'nt want a pete or KW, but settled for a Mack they just don't get it!...............................Mark

Chuck,thanks so much for posting this picture! i remember them well! i tried looking for a picture of their trucks,but for the life of me,could not come up with the proper spelling! LOL!................................................Mark

looks like a father & son team from Canada are in the process of restoring Miss Jessi,found this article when looking for the pictures............................................Mark http://www.chathamdailynews.ca/2012/10/18/die-hard-fans-restoring-waylons-truck
