Enck762

gg2-does your wife know your inquiring about if trucks are for sale? thought i saw it before. oldspower told me he posted it on brockway site but i can't find it. My orange tilt might be for sale when we finish other one. You may be old and gray by then.

Just bought a 73 Autocar with 318 detroit, 13 speed. cab is a little rough around windshield pillars. My question is will a cab off an 86 fit? I understand doors latches are in dfferent spot. I found a decent cab off 86 and would buy it if it will physically bolt up and line up with hood etc. The newer cab comes with doors so i dont have to change striker plates. Thanks Brian p.s or if anyone knows of earlier cab for sale? let me know. also wouldnt rule out a parts cab i could cut pieces off and weld in.

Congrats Mike! I saw these trucks in person, they are super clean. different color for the r model but i happened to like it.......Brian

Nice Looking truck!

A good friend is on the swat team nys troopers. Now they will have to fill out 3 days(or more) paperwork for what we all know needed to be done! Hope they shot him in the knees first!

Guy in my town bought 4 of them brand new and still runs three. They have held up well and you are right, parts have to come thru guy in New Jersey. Good friend of mine who has been the mechanic told me if he could have a truck to owner operate he would go with one. The tranny shifts like a new pickup. I have driven one for him a couple times. You feel like you drove your pickup all day. I almost bought one but they are just too much an oddball anymore. These trucks I know of hauled 30 ton of blacktop for 20+ years, pretty good in my book.

Maddog- yeah i could sneak around them. got these numbers off rears: CRDP 92-94-35 SO 655 11kha556ap34 R 815 Guessing i have 8:15 ratio, now moving along where is tag or stamping on my tranny,it is covered in oil......Thanks Brian

Moving right along on the pre-trip . Serial number matches frame Where do i find ratio on rears. i don't see any tags(long gone). Is it stamped on them somewhere? Guy removed fifth and other stuff on back so she is ready to go. Double frame looks real good. has 12' of frame behind cab,did the old 13'6" bodies stick that far off back or was this a shorty? Thinking of trailering it but driving it home is tempting. Troopers barracks mile down the road. Hope they like old trucks!

Happy Birthday- tried calling him,think he is trying to drink 38 beers unsuccessfully!

Offer still stands to pluck off dump-box on way by my place. Whole truck will do as well

Jim, no pic needed, it will just embarrass me more. It was little warmer so i looked down in there and you were dead on with your first post. It was just way low and dry in that cavity. So i see that i have to fill the cavity dumbass.......Brian

I will get a pic today!

Checked my paperwork B-81sx 1754. After looking at pics I see the difference in the two radiators. I popped the bulldog cap and you can see the top of the radiator core. Should there be a glass or was this an open slit(mine has no glass)? So i am guessing the plug in the radiator face on passenger side under hood is where i add antifreeze? Thanks, Brian

I'll get some pics of the L for you guys. Claude Cook had an old reo? s/a dump that if i remember right was chain drive. The 2 trucks sat for years on rt.7 in wellsbridge between otego and unadilla. p.s. HK trucking, i pm'd you a while back. saw a post you drove a H762 Brockway back in the day. I have one and am interested in more info on yours etc....Brian

Maddog-I can't make it sound like it was easy, it was in west end by napa, behind a gas station. My father noticed it about 3-4 years ago. He did have another that was already gone. I can sniff out brockways but the macks i am still working on. The L is a crane ? if that's the one i think that used to be a guy named Claude Cook(think name is still on it) who had it in Unadilla. it is now owned by the Leatherstocking railroad in Milford. They have a little excursion train they run to Cooperstown. All I know is the title says 58,With what I know about these that is all i can go by. I appreciate all the info..........Brian So might the higher radiator have a different radiator cap setup? or is it because i burned to many brain cells in my 20's and 30"s that i couldn't figure it out?

Thanks Jim- curiosity has me now, maybe my brain was frozen. Cab does need some work and i don't have the cost of trucking! double frame is very good, little bit of spreading in the very back. Truck was not for sale and i stumbled on it. Owner liked the fact it was staying local and I will offer him a test drive when it is on the road. Has power steering as well.

That's what My ole lady is sure to think! Vinny come on down and drive it home for me, shouldn't you be at the whiteout? truck is a 58 and came from Mass..........Brian

I have been mostly lurking on here. I recently picked up this b-81 cab and chassis. It has a 673 non-turbo with a quadbox. I collect mostly Brockways but recently went and took the Yarnall tour(got the mack adrenaline going) and when i got home went and made this deal which has been on the back-burner. They are rare around my area of Oneonta,NY. Fired it right up yesterday with little smoke after 5-10 minutes. Was a dump and i am going to make a heavy hauler tractor out of it. Need a few 11r 24 tires in good shape if anyone has? OK, i am a newbie but i have to ask, where the hell do you check the antifreeze?under the flip bulldog there is only a small tube, when i lift the hood there is a pipe plug with square head 1-1/2" dia +/- in side of radiator up high?.. Pics are courtesy of me so do whatever you like with them......... Thanks, Brian Enck

Seen it before,sure it's a 61?do you have paperwork for it?

5th wheel- you really got an interesting conversation piece on this one! dashes are different from mack to brockway as well as firewall. here is a pic of mine , you can make out dash a little. my dash goes back up in between where windshields come together.

hi fifth wheel, a grille insert out of a brockway cabover is the same as an F model mack. Which fits at least a late 70's r model hood. I took one of a brockway cabover and it fit right in my 77 r model. I would guess it is just an r model owned by a brockway fan. although it looks like brockway battery box covers? i will have to look closer, might be 760? Brian p.s. until i have more time to look at pic, i am guessing mackway. there is some strange things going on this truck

Wish i could have at least traded some parts off mine, i doubt a guy in haiti would mind. My grill shell is rusted out on bottom. It is the same as 761 if anyone on here has one or finds one? pic courtesy of John Kilmer aka dockmen 027

Had a stroke a few years back when i heard it got exported . Looks like a 235 to me. I have to get mine re-railed so i can get a 235 and pull it around. Mike-looks like i can make the road trip with Paul in a couple weeks to get sleeper Those pics are awesome, if this truck was for sale gg2 and i would be trying to run each other off the road to get there first Mine is an H762 with 1693 cat engine instead of v-12 with a 13 speed.

Weld it up,grind it smooth and get yourself a spray can of hot rod black and you will save yourself thousands(i have kept a couple trucks going this way)! I am not an expert but i am pretty sure my rd had a 237(serial # on block was endt 675) that had a tip turbine put on it?not sure what else you need to do? I may have the remains of the tip turbine parts as well as air cleaner etc. any expert please chime in as I would like to know the differences. I am in upstate ny also but not as north as you guys.Unadilla/Otego near oneonta.......Brian
