OD the #19 tractor is either a Diamond REO or a very late 64 to 67 Diamond T

Mark it is always an honor to be involved in local history. I am friends with the township historian from where I was born and raised in upstate NY. As a result I have copies of many Brockway truck from the local trucking company. She has also sent me elementary school class picture for help in identifying some of the other kids.

Thanks I thought I remember seeing it a Syracuse, but have not seen it a Cortland for the last few years I have been there. Are you going to bring it down to Cortland next month??? I am sure it will create a big discussion as some of the old factory people are around.

mandt428 Are you asking if the gears can be turned over to make it an OD??? I know it was done in the 9 & 10 speed Roadrangers but I have never heard of it on a Mack..

Is that the truck owned by the factory to haul the wood cab pieces in??? Think it was at ATHS Syracuse 2003?

Vlad Do not see a Marmon?? That last white cabover is a Diamond REO..

OD Thanks for the pictures.. I have not been across 40/48 since the new road has been finished.. Was thru Harpers Ferry last year on the way to Lititz, A beautiful part of the country. I enjoy your pictures each week!! Keep up the good work. Thanks Brocky

The All Brockway show is August 8th and 9th, In Cortland NY. Friday Husky Drive, meet and greet, BBQ dinner, Auction, and Fireworks. Saturday Parade and display on Main St. Museum open both days.

Larry You are right about never knowing the real reason behind the "resignation".. And yes it has been an ongoing process which started almost 3 years ago.

Go east from the TA about 1/2 to 3/4 mile.. She has a grey building on the right, driveway between her and what used to be a Texaco convienence store/ fuel stop, then the light for a cross street, go in the driveway thru the pumps and park then come out on the cross street and use the light to make your left to go back to I-95. Used to be an old produce haulers hang out and she had a map on the wall of all the packing sheds in the area. Like I said it has been 5 to 7 years since I hauled containers out of the ports and used to stop there, and the way a lot of the old Mom and Pop places have disappeared it is hard to tell even though she had a good local trade.

Yesterday, July 21st 2014, Mr. Bill Johnson tendered his resignation as Executive Director. No information is available as to why. ATHS will now be looking for a person well versed in the operation of a non profit orginazition.

Is Mrs. B's restraunt about 3 blocks east of the TA still in business???It has been over 5 years since I have run Pt Everglades. there.. She always had good food and room to park 8-10 trucks behind the Texaco next door>>

GH Good to see you post on another topic.. Have seen your area on the news and have been worried that you might be in serious trouble.. Our prayers are that you stay safe.

Spent 5 years in an ESSO station part time while in college..An experience you never forget,, I am sure the Gulf Station in the museum will be great... Our Prayers are with you and your wife..

AGREE with Brian.. It would be a pleasure to meet Shorty at Cortland,, especially if he brought a Brockway with him!!

Welcocme from South Carolina.. AND we do NOT have those hot dog stands either

Thanks for the Barn location... She can just WAIT on me!! I do enough of it for her JUNK shops!!!! It will work out as we are doing the Falls first before heading toward Ithaca and Cortland.

HELP!!!! Where is this place called the Barn???? Is there a lot of antiques // JUNK for my wife to look at in the building while I persue the back lot??? We will be in the upstate for the Brockway show in Cortland this August.. Thanks Brocky

Bobby Yes it is!! Broccky

For Vlad and others.. This is my personal DT, 1949 model 201. complete with grand kids at Macungie 2012

and a couple more I had to resize

And here is the one which took the "Directors Award" at Macungie this year.. 1935 DT 211 owned by David Kellerman from up by Port Jervis NY. Will be next years dash plaque..

Dave Hope you do not mind me stealing some of your thunder.. Here are some pictures of your new Diamond T I took at Springfield this year. I know it will make a great addition to your fantastic museum. Brocky

If the route Mike suggested does not work, Do you have any friends in either Vermont or Alabama??? If so PM me for details..There is Broadway Title in Birmingham AL but they are expensive..

Dave Saw it and took pictures at Springfield MO.. Am surprised that he is selling it?? Thought he said he spent 15 years on the resto?? It is a great truck and will look good at the museum. Brocky
