    I would NOT paint it!!! Today the original Patina is actually more valuable.. Buff and Clear coat or linseed oil?? As for the tires, if it has been stored inside and not weather checked bad they might be OK for a hobby truck?? Just add a flatbed and go truck showing!!!!

    Day and Night wrecker service out of Solvay (Syracuse) NY had their black and white paint scheme which had the whole truck divided in quarters and painted alternating squares.

    And on I-78 at exit 13 was Johnny's, which I think is now a Pilot, and a mile east of it was Louise's.. I remember when Louise's expanded / remodeled they built the new diner around the old one and then threw the old one out the windows and never shut down or missed a meal..

    Weasel you are a bit younger than me. Our school had contract buses with adult drivers, some of them women,farm girls.. Our fleet was mid 50's R and S model IH's with a couple of Brockways thrown in.

    You may have to go west to find 24" Budd wheels.. They used Budds long before they were common in the East.. Walter and Oshkosh snow plows had 12 and 14 X 24 tires on 10 hole Budd wheels (some offset to track in single rears) in the 50's and 60's in upstate NY.

    In the mid 50's I vaguely remember our township, Town of Caroline, Brooktondale, Tompkins County NY, Having an early 50's Duplex single axle dump truck. No idea if it was 4X4???? At that time they were running Advance Design Chevy's with Coleman 4X4, then in 1956 the town added a F-800 Ford with Marmon Herrington 4X4.

    Try BEPCO Inc, 2475 South Stratford Rd, Winston Salem NC 27103 336-760-0740 1-800-735-1154 outside NC. I got a rebuild from them for my F-600.

    The 5.9 Cummins would also be a good choice.. Here is a link to Tom Millard's conversion in his 1955 Brockway 154. :: http://www.brockwaytrucks.org/messageboard/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4952 He also told me he got 13 MPG bobtailing from Scranton PA to the ATHS Lexington KY show and back.

    Get in touch with Mike Harbison in Iowa.. He is a wealth of knowledge and has about 150 Macks, in various conditions, parked in his back yard.
