jaysm35a2 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I found a old 28ft -30 ft single axle van trailer today from im guessing the 60's .. says its a Brown. Are they the same company as the Brown Truck and Trailer company from years ago with Assoc. Transport?

Underdog Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 One and the same. Check out WHEELS OF TIME magazine from the American Truck Historical Society Volume 32, no.2 March/April 2011 for a great feature on Brown trucks and trailers and Associated Transport.Gregg 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21060-are-brown-trailers-the-same-as-the-old-brown-trucks-and-brown-trailers-from-years-gone-by/#findComment-88480 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysm35a2 Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 Gregg, I did look at the WOT. Its one of my fav.s as I know Bruce Essick that owns the truck in there. Now I really have to buy that trailer. Deal is he wont sell , uses it for storage. So Im thinking of buying a newer 28ft pup , giving him that and 500 bucks for the Brown. Maybe he will let it go.Saw that logo on the side and I knew I should get it. Thank you!

Underdog Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Sounds like a deal in the making... You may need to help transfer the load to the other trailer, though! No telling what other treasures you may find inside a 50 year old storage trailer! Good luck!Gregg Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21060-are-brown-trailers-the-same-as-the-old-brown-trucks-and-brown-trailers-from-years-gone-by/#findComment-88505 Share on other sites More sharing options...
