I left my chip at work so I can't post any pictures tonight but my 361 has ben posted here many times (Sorry Guy's but Brockway is still ny fav va fav truck) I've been runnin loads 2 to 3 days a week this past month from JC NJ to Northampton PA about 170 mi round trip one trip a day and the old girl hasn't missed a beat! Not bad for a 74 Brock!! And that was last week when the temp's were toppin out @ 100 + and about 120 in the cab! I always new the truck was gonna make it, I just wasn't sure if I was!! LOL Super 250 Cummins 5X4 Spicer airmatic trans was haulin about 20 ton on 3 axels Heil body top speed @2100.. about 62 mph not good on the hills (I wish the people behind would use there other 4 fingers when they wave at me) but a real torque monster! she will hold ya at 1600 and hold on there for some time,before she starts to drop I guess thats the 927 Cubes, but I still would like to turn it up to 270 hp (I'm told there were 2 HP options on this motor 250 and 270 mine is the 250 motor)BULLHUSK PS .....

vision386 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Atta'boy Ernie! I sure love to hear about a "vintage" truck being DRIVEN like its supposed to be! a lot of your "pro-drivers" nowadays don't even know what a Brockway is,much less a 5X4! I sure like to find a Brockway road tractor to restore someday,always partial to the 361 series myself. There were a ton of Brockways in South Jersey when I was a kid,along with Macks ,Whites,Autocars I miss them days!..........................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

bullhusk Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 I guess your sneaking into PA under the cover of darkness with 20 ton on 3 axles?Ya in PA I can only load just over 15 ton but so far no prob. cause the only scale is the one on 78 in Jersey and I'm about 5 ton under my 70,000 gross and the load is just about water level so as not to be an eye catcher! It's usually the greedy ones that get caught!!BULLHUSK LOL Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32077-brockway-toughest-truck-in-the-world/#findComment-196211 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullhusk Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 That red one is a 360 very nice truck and and also the other red one and I think the blue one is as well! The blue one might have a 1693 Cat or a V12-71 if it is in fact a U-360BULLHUSK Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32077-brockway-toughest-truck-in-the-world/#findComment-196215 Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarnall Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Here is my father's 1962 257 with a continental gas. Was used by Smith's in New York, titled in New York. Apparently gas was cheaper to run up there. When they close the New York terminal it was haule to West Chester and sat outside to rust. I bought it just to save it, but my father took a liking to after after he got it running. We have more in it than it is worth and we haven't even do that much to it, but it runs well and doesn't look too bad. http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/gallery/image/13519-1962-brockway-257/My father also has a 1975 758. I am not very fond of that truck. It is off getting painted. I think I will like it better when it is not white.

Popular Post vision386 Posted July 28, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2013 We had a used 361 for a short time, the one in the middle,350 Cummins,10 speed (it had been Huskydrive originally),pretty good truck,allthough I only ever drove it a few times traded it in on an F-Model because we needed something with a sleeper on it. The wheelbase on this one was just too short.IIRC, they allowed 2500.00 trade against the F-Model?...wish I still had it now!.............Mark 5 Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.
