Ol2Stroker Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Snagged this old junk yesterday. Sitting at least 10 years it took me most of the day yesterday to get it running and moving. Hopefully have it home this weekend.

h67st Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Yeah, it doesn't look all rusted out like a lot of the steel cab trucks! Good find. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55083-1973-brockway-359-dump/#findComment-411593 Share on other sites More sharing options...

1977vega Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I saw that in CL, what did you end paying for it? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55083-1973-brockway-359-dump/#findComment-411674 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ol2Stroker Posted December 20, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) Here are a few pictures from the CL add. Accurately shows condition. Once I saw it I cut a deal and then figured a day and time to go back and pay, get title and hopefully move it. Not sure if you can tell from the pics but she was pretty buried in that yard. Obviously no intention of moving or using it any time soon. Probably took me and my buddy about an hour to clean out all the shit in front of the truck so we could move it out of the yard. Brought the support rig down on Monday and got the old girl fired up and out of the yard. It's in their private drive waiting until I can get a lowboy there.

Ol2Stroker Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 Plan is to make road worthy and haul locally.

Red Horse Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Looks like-at least judging by the gear shift a 10 speed RR? Wonder if this thing started life as a tractor?

Ol2Stroker Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 Rt915 was originally a twin stick air shift. Don't think they hooked up the low. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55083-1973-brockway-359-dump/#findComment-411990 Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Since you have two 359's now, it is officially a collection! Mine is a 1969 Brockway E359T (671 and a RT-910). 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

m16ty Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 In that second video, was that a cold start? Looks cold outside, if it started that well cold, I'd say it's a good one. Haven't seen one of those manual backup alarms in years.
