Timothy Maikshilo Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I have been going through my photo's and found these. Late 1990's I went to this older gentlemans home and he had these in the back yard. Wouldn't part with anything but got some photo's.

Hinsdale is just across the river from me.I don't remember the man's name but he had a lot of steam boilers and a Marion steam shovel. I could ask my father inlaw.

Mike Blais Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 The Brockway is interesting. Someone converted it to diesel? It's also wearing J.M. Giddings colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullhusk Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 The Brockway is interesting. Someone converted it to diesel? It's also wearing J.M. Giddings colors. Back in the 60's there was a Brockway in Jersey like that and the guy put a 673 Mack motor in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 This was at the Kemp Auction with a Buda-Lanova Diesel in it. I don't think it was sold.

41chevy Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Paul, that is an awesome photo. That is a neat looking truck.Mr Kemp had many unique trucks and pieces of equipment. I would have enjoyed seeing them when he was alive and they were cared for.I was at the auction and saw it in person it was nice.I went to bid on 3 trucks hoping to actually get 2, but expecting in reality to get none. I wanted his 2 AC's but bidding went nuts on them, also bid on his 1940 something Autocar COE cement mixer and lost it by $100.00. Oh well, went up unloaded and came home unloaded.
