    As the 400 Series Brockway used the same basic cab as F-Model Macks not a lot of survivors. Joe D.

    Green one looks as it has a 2 speed rear, as Maddog was saying. Nice truck but no cigar at $25,000.00. Joe D.

    I do not know for sure but if you want a 50-50 mix which is most common. Just alternate one gallon anti-freexe with one gallon water.When close to top finish off with anti-freeze. Joe D.

    I had a steady run from Hazleton,Penna. to Seattle Washington in early 80's. There was a flatbed outfit out of North Dakota that ran a fleet of Valueliners I think. Anyone remember their name? I think it started with E.J. ??? Nice Valueliner your Dad has. Joe D.

    I think B-53'S used a Tri-plex that was only used in vocational trucks it had gearing like a Quadbox unlike other Tri-plex's were geared for on highway mostly. i do not remember seeing many vocational Tri-plexes.Does anyone know the reason why Mack built it as it was geared close to Quadboxes? Thanks Joe D.

    I second the NJTP Brockway on being outstanding. I have the Brockway Transport version but like the Turnpike one better.Nice pictures by everyone. Joe D.

    Bigdog A lot of the older Macks were set up with split boxes as the Tri-plex, Quadbox etc were not able to take higher torque of engines. A Quadbox would be fine behind a 711 or V8-864 Mack. Another reason could be it had a power tower on auxiliary or best reason of all the person who ordered it like the split boxes. who knows.I have a few trucks with Fuller main Spicer auxiliary good trans but in my opinion a Mack Compound shifts smoother.My Brockway Plow Truck that Brocky posted a picture of the other day is the hardest shifting truck I ever drove. It is a 5X4 2 stick. Joe D.
  22. Joe Ditchkus
    It looks to have the Spicer Auxiliary Trans not a Quadbox. Either way its looks good.Joe D.

    The Mayor of NY most likely saw the Seinfield Episode where Kramer was a horse and buggy driver and he Kramer fed the horse beans or spaghetti then the horse kept farting.Air polution. Joe D.
