tippatone Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I wanted a nice starter tandem dump for a reasonable price....what is the word on Brockway? Parts easy to find? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenGiant2 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Not easy to get good stuff left. Last ones were made in 77. 1 Quote We the unwilling, Lead by the unqualified, are doing the impossible, for the ungrateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Brockway specific items such as sheetmetal, trim or details can sometimes be a big pain.Engine parts for DD, Cummins or CAT are all pretty available. Prices may suck, but available. Same with transmission and suspension. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullhusk Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 ,Oh wow thanks....where they good trucksYou gotta drive one in a snow storm, an then u will know y the state and counties used them for plowing! I drove my 361 tandem dump M/T in a snow storm last year and that truck tracked and held the road like a summer day! A well balanced truck, not like the Autocars that were nose heavy when u went into a turn and the truck kept going straight Bullhusk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brocky Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 tippatoneNo they were not, Autocar was started in the 1910's and were made in Ardmore PA and were bought out by White in 1953 and the name/badge now belongs to Volvo.Brockway started as a wagon maker in Cortland NY in 1865, First prototype truck in 1910 and formally made a seperate corporation in 1912, Bought out by Mack in 1956, closed due to labor dispute in 1977. Have a museum in Cortland open all year and have a big gathering, parade, and show the second weekend of August with anywhere from 120 to 160 Brockways attending. 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How far is Cortland from NYC....I would like to go to the museum and parade this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I have the one in my avitar, have not done anything about restoring it. Was born and raised on them.Cortland is halfway between Binghamton and Syracuse on I-81, probably 5-6 hours from the GW Bridge.. let you figure how long it take you to get there. 2 choices: I-80 to Pocono to I-380 to Scranton and up I-81 or take I-87 to Harriman and up NY 17 to Bingo and I-81.Their website is brockwaytrucks.org 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
