2stacksuperdog Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 They sold their Brockways in "96,that's when this one went South.I thought a i saw a few up in Torrington at their yard where all the B's, DM800's and Superliners and everything else they had over the years is sitting.

Green Dash Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Love those IH pickups.There's a member on the Brockway site that's rebuilding a Colprovia 360 with a V12. IIRC the truck was also owned by O&G?? Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakebrake86 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Those are nice finds. My first pickup was almost an old IH just like that. A '73 model with a 6 cyl and a 3 speed in the floor. Couldn't make a deal so ended up with a '98 Ford Ranger, aka "danger ranger" instead. 1 Quote Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it's good and as you've said, this truck has a good shape. Quote Heavy Hauling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you close to the 358 Brockway? I'm just curious what the serial number is. The (2) earliest 358's we have on record are serial numbers 64048 and 64315. You mention the 200 series dash, so is the speedometer in the middle of the dash or over the steering column?Thanks,Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 My first pickup was a 1972 1210 Binder, 345/4 spd. Township road truck, beat to death as typical. $150 at auction. Drove it for about a year and sold it for a few bucks more(after 3 clutches....long story). It had no inner fenders, not much floorboards and drank gas like there was a hole in the tank. I was only 17 at the time.I know a fellow in Florida that woulda scooped that General up. He is member of ATHS. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Freightrain Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Hey, I got the fellow from ATHS that is interested in the General. Can there be a connection made, he has interest in the rest of the truck. What engine? Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
