fifth wheel Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 This picture is at the Rutland VT truck show about 20 years ago. Not very clear picture on here but truck appears to be all Brockway except hood and fenders. The chassis would have to be a 360/760 if a conversion. Need to find more about this truck.FW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enck762 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) 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?Brianp.s. until i have more time to look at pic, i am guessing mackway. there is some strange things going on this truck Edited January 29, 2013 by Enck762 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakebrake86 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Looks like Brockway five spoke front hubs... Sweet looking truck, though! Quote Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 You could give a call to Don Dorr at Dorr Oil in Manchester, VT and find out about it. He might still have it.It looks like an additional grille insert is between the hood and the Brockway part of the grille.(802) 362-1950Jim Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

fifth wheel Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 The truck has a Brockway cab but the cowl is R Mack, front axle, rockwell rears, tanks, battery boxes, and wheelbase are typical of Brockway. Definitely more Brockway than Mack, will do more investigating.FW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarnall Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I looked at this truck in Dorr's lot in about 1999. I thought it was an R model with a Brockway grill and emblems, but now see some of the other pieces on it. I have some pictures I can scan if I find them. Dorr had several trucks at the ATHS show in Mass last year. What is the difference between the regular R model cab and the cab used on 700 series Brockways?

Enck762 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) 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.
