smorse54 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 We took the bulk body off the old 361 last week. The truck still runs fine, none of the seasonal help can shift the 5 by 4. Put the body on an S Model IH with a Roadranger, they can stumble thru the gears better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarnall Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Is it going to be for sale or are you going to play with it?Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smorse54 Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Mike, I haven't decided what to do yet. Was entertaining the thought of making it into a tractor with modern components.It would take alot of time and I still haven;t finished my Superliner yet.It's on standby 'til all the potatoes are in storage in case another truck has major ptoblems. It only takes a couple of hours to change bodiies.By November it will be good to go and I'll know by then what I'm doing with it.I'll let you know. Meanwhile I've got to figure out how to make this stop underlining all the words....Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 When you click in the "Reply to this topic" box, if you click an extra time and happen to hit one of those letters in the second line (in your case the U) that is when strange things like underlining start to happen.

burnstransport Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Looks like a complete truck, sure hope you get to resurrect it at some point down the line. That's too bad the help didn't want to take the opportunity to learn the quad box, it sure is on my "bucket list" just to say I did it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenGiant2 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 i will bet that it is a 5 main with a air shift 4 speed aux.divorced box. very rare to see a married quad in a brockway.SO STEVE HOW WAS CORTLAND.

smorse54 Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Don,no it has 2 sticks. Got lots of pics at Cortland.I'll put up a few here. We'll start with Macks I saw by the Brockway Museum. The B-73 was nice,the Superliner 1 had a Cat engine and Superliner 2 cab with air ride and frame mounted muffler stands,very nice.The big red RW with the Mic-Mac sleeper had an E-9, nice truck. saw the Yarnall's green RW with the Restrite bunk,was hoping to meet Mike but didn't. The Brocks were fantastic too. Lots of time,money and sweat to make them this nice. The friend I went with remembered the brown 761 when it was new. He was a coal hauler and a Mr Cole? bought it new and only used it occasionly. It has only 8K miles on it. I've got about 40 more pics I'll put up a few at a time. Nice weather for a show, a good time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smorse54 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 There really wasn't a matched pair of B-73 Macks, I clicked the add it button twice. And I think the brown 761 is a 760 cause it has a forward position front axle. A few more pics: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenGiant2 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 that 761 russo truck is kick ass, i saw that truck up on ransom road at the paint shop. just awesome.
