Popular Post h67st Posted July 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2022 Well, perhaps against my better judgment I'm adding another truck to the stable. This truck doesn't have much rust and it's very complete so I couldn't pass it up. I'm assuming it's a 361TL, can any of you Brockway guys verify that? It's got a Cummins with compression release so possibly a 250. I probably won't do much with it until I get my Mack finished. 7 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70095-1970-brockway/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
VALS327 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Better judgment is over rated. Enjoy the truck. Looking forward to more updates on your Mack. Take care, Don 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70095-1970-brockway/#findComment-502822 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Yes it looks like a 361.. Send the whole serial number to Tom Millard (Oldspwr) and he can tell you more about it.. The Mack Museum used to have all the build sheets on Brockways.. 2 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70095-1970-brockway/#findComment-502823 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjc transport Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 sweet looking brockway. i ran one just like that back in the mid 80's as a lowboy tractor. only issue was the cab was rotted out and ready to fall off it, and it had tiny rears. 350 cummins and a 13 speed.

Brocky Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 There should be a serial number plate on the right 1/3 of the dash.. The first letter will identify the engine, the next 3 digits is the model number, the next 2 letters identifies purpose and drive axles, then the 5 digit serial number.. Email me thru here and I can send you Tom Millard's (Oldspwr) email address. 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70095-1970-brockway/#findComment-504461 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post h67st Posted August 8, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2022 I started looking things over to see if it will run and found the intake pipe missing a clamp, allowed rain water to go into the turbo. Fortunately the shaft still spins free, but I want to pull the housing off to see what is lurking inside. A great example of something simple like a clamp causing bigger problems. The engine tag says it's a 335. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70095-1970-brockway/#findComment-505628 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Looks like it has had water sitting in it for some time, with any luck the the water didn't go much further Paul 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70095-1970-brockway/#findComment-505747 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post h67st Posted October 16, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2023 Since I got the Mack "done", I started tinkering around with the Brock. Check out this video, and then watch the "will it start" video after it. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70095-1970-brockway/#findComment-540436 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBWhite Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Hard to believe that truck is the same year as my IH Transtar.

D-Day Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I was lucky enough to see the Mack finished and it is excellent I think I have an Extra turbo for that 335 if you need one, dam things are getting hard to find fast 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70095-1970-brockway/#findComment-540453 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmackpaul Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 It should run with out the turbo, block off the oil lines and it should run It will be smokey umder load but should idle pretty much the same as if it was turbocharged, the motor wont be making any boost at idle and stuff all boost until it gets some revs and load Enjoyed the video Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70095-1970-brockway/#findComment-540616 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Paul, there is another video of it firing up for first time. It has the usual cummins cold start white smoke, but sounded good. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

mrsmackpaul Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I tracked that down Yes I am suitably impressed and quite jealous of this truck, jealous is the right word but I would like to own it Very very impressed with it Paul 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70095-1970-brockway/#findComment-540644 Share on other sites More sharing options...
h67st Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 Got some bad news on the truck...I pulled it into the shop today to do some work on it, and I made the mistake of looking at the frame rails. I'll probably end up splicing in some new rear sections since the truck has already been stretched. I can't tear it down yet; we will be moving at some point because they are "industrializing" our area and we bought property a little farther out. We have to build a house and shop so that will take a while, I don't want to tear down the truck until we move.

mechohaulic Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 now the big question and challenge :: what gets built first ==house or garage ??? understanding mate makes the decision so much easier; not many of those around based on experience, LOL brockway always had a nice style truck (before the mack cab ) 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70095-1970-brockway/#findComment-544431 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Bugger me, that's a bit of a issue Is it double railed or jist fatigued A lot of people build a shed first in Australia and fit a couple of baus out like a house to live in while the house is built They call these a shouse, half shed half house But I guess what ever you come up with will be fine Paul 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70095-1970-brockway/#findComment-544437 Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did that when we built this house, ended up living in the barn for 4 years! A shouse sounds like slang for an outhouse.

We have to build a house and shop so that will take a while, I don't want to tear down the truck until we move. That frame failure is a hallmark of the Hendrickson RT walking beam suspension. For whatever reason the stresses that suspension puts on the frame rails cause the lower flange to separate from the web along the radius of the bend between the two suspension mounts. I have seen it on many Hendrickson RT trucks. In fact my 1974 White Road Boss has the same deal going on. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70095-1970-brockway/#findComment-544618 Share on other sites More sharing options...
