1957[?] BROCKWAY PARTS

[JGRICE]

Hello! Currently restoring what I believe to be a 1957 Brockway model 128WX-20. Looking for just about anything/everything to help complete it, whether it be actual parts or any leads to get parts/junkyard finds.

Located in Massachusetts, searching mostly in the New England area/North East...but interested to see other parts if available anywhere else in the country.

Thanks!

It's always good the hear of another Brockway that has a chance at a new life. There is a very strong following for Brockways, and you will find a lot of helpful people once you get in touch with them. That FB place is where a lot of them hang out. You should plan right now to be in Homer NY the second Saturday in August for the 25th anniversary Brockway truck show. This event should be on every old truck fan's bucket list even if they don't own a Brockway. And if you do have a Brockway, there is no better place to be on that day.  If you'd care to share your serial number, we can probably nail down the year of your truck. It looks like it has potential. There is a lot of interchangeability between the different models. many parts from an 88, 146, 147, and 148 among others will fit your truck. Even your fuel tanks are the same used on some larger models. Any more pictures?

@steve s. Thanks for your response! I will be looking into fb groups and asking around there as well for some help as well. We actually have 2 Brockways, the green one is being used for parts on our first build. The serial number for the green truck is 57029. The first one we are really focusing on right now is a model 148WD-7. Serial number 54228. I wouldve posted that first but I actually just got the tag information on it last night.  It was used as an oil delivery truck as you can see the tank in the pictures.

According to my information your 128 is a 1960 and your 148 is a 1957. If you want to get the original build records, contact the Mack Trucks Historical Museum. Give them your serial numbers and a donation, and they will send you whatever they have on your trucks.   It looks like you are pretty serious about the 148. Are you planning to keep the flathead 6 for power? My guess is that as an oil truck it was probably built with a straight 5 speed and a slow rear axle. I have an older 148 myself, and the 427 flathead is an excellent engine, but it doesn't like hills at all. It has an overdrive transmission and a 2 speed rear, which make it fun to drive, but it is still geared for about 52 mph.
