Popular Post jdfordhd Posted July 14, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2014 I posted pics earlier of this Brockway that recently sold. Here is the same truck working a job for me. I owned a crane service here in Mid TN for 40 yrs, just sold all my cranes 9-04-13. McCord is selling out now. Elliott Cranes has sold as well.

Popular Post yarnall Posted July 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2014 This 361 is for sale near me. It has an 8V71 and a 13 speed(I think). It hasn't been run in 4 years but had not problems when it was last run. It has been off the road for 10 years. It has some rust. Worst in the fenders. He is asking $3500 for it. It is in boyertown pa. I am tempted but have spent my money on other junk.

Joe Ditchkus Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Dave looks good. First I have ever seen without vent windows. As Ernie said the Brockway Truck Site is best for answer. I am pretty sure Tom Millard or Steve S. will know. I will Email them and ask if they would post an answer. Tom M. has a nicely restored 155. Joe D.

oldspwr Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Hi guys... That is a 1954 147WL... I actually bid on that truck on eBay about 14 years ago. Here is a link that I posted over on the Brockway site last year. http://www.brockwaytrucks.org/messageboard/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4364At first look I would think its a 1955 or 1956 based on the 'B' on the grill guard but in the truck paper it was listed as a 1954. If you have any other questions, just let me know...As for the cab windows, it depended on the model. Some had them, some didn't.

Either myself or one of the other Husky nuts will add what you have said over there....Thanks Brian AGREE with Brian.. It would be a pleasure to meet Shorty at Cortland,, especially if he brought a Brockway with him!!Here he is..! William "Shorty" Crawford. The nickname must have stuck from bein' a 12 yr old workin' around the McCord shops, because he ain't short..! I had to get some parts in Nashville a couple days ago, stopped and visited with Shorty for a little while. I mentioned the show in Cortland he snapped "I been there.!". I said: "Really?" He said: "Yeah, I flew in to NY, got a cab to Cortland an' drove it (the 761) home from the factory when they got it built, didn' want nobody else in it.!". I took this pic of him standing by what's left of the Autocar that was supposed to get the Cat 3408. It wound up gettin' the 92 out of the Brockway. Shorty said the 3408 has never been cracked open. Also is a pic of one of the "Jimmys" that was assigned to all the "normal" hauling. Also worth noting, the 761 was yellow with black fenders from the factory. 7 Quote "If it ain't got a motor, I ain't interested.!!"

Think it was at ATHS Syracuse 2003?Yes that is what they told me at the auction. I even met the son of the driver who has some of the original pics of it. He said he will get me copies of how it originally looked. He said it was originally red with detailed pin-striping even on the wheels. Once he gets me copies of the photo I will post on here. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32077-brockway-toughest-truck-in-the-world/page/8/#findComment-254133 Share on other sites More sharing options...
