Rob Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Good looking truck for certain. Personally I always preferred the look of round headlamps in those but I'm really not much into this newer, more modern stuff.

I installed a pair of 75W LED capsules into one of my R models and it really brightened things up a lot. Try a pair of those, but they are annoying to oncoming traffic. Certainly didn't mean to offend, I just prefer the older, classic look of round headlamps. Don't' think I've ever seen rectangular style in a Brockway myself.

Rob Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I didn't realize those lights were a custom install and how my comment would be upsetting; thought they were original. Apologies rendered. Damn, I never was around Brockway, (except a single mixer) so didn't know. Ernie doing alright? Haven't talked with him in a while. Wonder how his V-12 R model is coming along. Got mine moving slowly but need to get the manifolds welded together relocating the turbochargers and bracing to where the standard R-700 hood will fit without gouging out the inner structure.

Must be out of business? See ya Don, Steve Steve we heard that the owner died and had no one to take it over . So it was put in a trust that 10 distant relatives ran it. Meanwhile the manager at Rochester was embezzling money and the buffalo manager found out and tried to buy it. The 10 members decided to auction all stuff off. Sad to see.

Vladislav Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Cool looking truck! I'm also a stock look liker and Brokway is not an exception. But I too like how that particular one looks. And on a side note I mentioned many times that Macks are scarce in Russia. But if you say Brokway nobody would probably even trust you such brand does exist!

Freightrain Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) I recall many "older" trucks getting square lights but I thought it was for an "updated look". My old round sealed beams due fine but I need my Perlux driving lights too. They don't blind oncoming traffic with the shutters on them. The new headlights drive me to stay home after dark. Just can't deal with being blinded. Edited April 1, 2018 by Freightrain Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

h67st Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 That hood looks even longer than a Superliner...I'll bet that's a great view looking out over it.
