Rob Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 My 57 B-61 had a belt drive Page&Page axle but it was gone when I got the truck. The brackets were still there but everything else was gone. Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Popular Post Brocky Posted April 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2019 Here is an older picture taken at Dick Crispell's new shop on RT 79 east of Ithaca NY. At the time it was taken the orange 761 had a 12V71 which was later replaced with an 8V92T. This truck now resides in the Ed Edministon collection in Dubbo Queenslaqnd Australia. The blue 1948(?) 154(?) on the trailer still lives in the Cortland NY area, is at the Brockway Show each August, and is still used occasionally to bring home another project. 3 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32077-brockway-toughest-truck-in-the-world/page/15/#findComment-420015 Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrybarbon Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I see from a side view that the 1976 blue Brockway with the R model Mack cab and the Australian R model V 8 valueliner, seem very similar because the set back front axle/wheels appear to be about same position on the frame of both trucks. I can see that the one piece hood and guards of the V8 Valueliner would virtually fit onto the Brockway. Is it therefore possible that Aussie V8 Valueliner was based on the 1976 Brockway? And maybe the flat hood 6 cylinder Valueliner model was based on the Brockway? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32077-brockway-toughest-truck-in-the-world/page/15/#findComment-443675 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Could have some cross pollination happening. Certainly would have been economical to reuse the already engineered trucks specs from Brockway if they would fit the parameters of the Australian market.

harrybarbon Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 It would be very interesting to line up Dan Thomas's Aussie Valueliner to a R model cab Brockway and compare the alignment of the front axle and cabin!!! Did Brockway use the Mack frames?

Brocky Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) Harry, I believe that Brockway always used their own frames (????) especially as the majority were built for semi off road, severe service, duty.. It has always been claimed that the prototype 1978 Brockway became the American Mack Superliner. So it would not surprise me that Mack of Australia borrowed many of Brockway's developments. Especially for Outback Road Train work. I also do not believe that the Mack and Brockway design engineering departments worked together much until into the early 70's when Brockway started to use the Sheller Globe built Mack R model cab that Brockway introduced in 1974 or 5..
