39 Baby Mack Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Couple more F models pics scanned from John Hoppes' collectionYou're half right Dave!#199 was a '68 400 series Brockway originally built with a 318 Detroit and a five speed Fuller.By the time this picture was taken it had been changed over to a 237 Maxidyne with a five speed Maxitorque.Was a better truck than when it was new!Ron 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
other dog Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 yep,out back waiting on a facelift.Hated to quit driving it,but that's when I bought my Freedom Superliner,it had heat in the winter and air in the summer,instead of the other way around in the blue F.It was was a little easier on my back,too.I see you got a load of mashed 4 wheelers there, I hauled plenty of them some years ago!

PeterMack Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Thought I could post one of John Fishers F-model, although he has since sold this truck and it is inIndiana now. I took this at a Northern IL ATHS show a couple years ago. The truck is Cummins powered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post other dog Posted April 20, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2013 The other fun experiences I remember with these things were cattle chutes and going through the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel and that was before there was a Ft. McHenry Tunnel (it's a little wider and there are four bores instead of just two!) Used to always make sure I had a cigarette lit before I entered it!If that wash't enough when they had to work on one of the bores they'd shut one down and then the traffic was head to head in the tunnel!Would really make your asshole pucker up let me tell you!RonI remember the old tunnel well, and going through it with 2 way traffic. Actually, you can still go that way, or you could last time I was up that way.I remember crossing the Annapolis Bay Bridge when there was only one bridge there, it was pretty narrow too.Here's a couple of F models I drove.Sorry about the crappy pictures! 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Superdog Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Or 141 Huyndais ?no,seriously there are 21 smashed Ford Escorts on that load.Usually I'd smash about 3 loads before I'd start hauling them off,so I could kinda "fit" the loads together for maxium payload,cause I just had a 40 footer.One week there were several Escorts so I saved a bunch back and made a full load of them.
