j hancock Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Yes it does. The little screamer originally was a town DPW truck. A later owner tried to use it as a tractor to haul pulling tractors and he found the truck's specification didn't match up to use. Next owner turned it back into a dump truck.

OHS eventually took over PIE in UK/EU.if anyone has an interest in the company or Iranian Macks I can post or pm the related threads.one of the photos in a thread about OHS is believed to be of Iranian registered Brockways of the organisation, however, they may be Turkish.any of the Brock guys know of these?BC Mack 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32077-brockway-toughest-truck-in-the-world/page/13/#findComment-320745 Share on other sites More sharing options...
