DailyDiesel Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 From what I remember the truck came from Arizona but really did all its work on the East Coast back in the day. Kyle has an idea who it belonged to at one point but I forgot what he said. Maybe we will cross paths at the Brockway show and I can find out.

Enck762 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I think Kyle told me it was on an indian reservation in Florida for most of it's life and was a teal color offered on 55 chevy's. I am going by memory and have burned alot of brain cells over the years so could be off a little........Brian p.s.he did purchase it in Arizona. I have some pics of it being picked up there i can post later 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32077-brockway-toughest-truck-in-the-world/page/4/#findComment-197221 Share on other sites More sharing options...
