Brocky

The above sounds good. Do not know what your horseback dates are, BUT the Brockway weekend in Cortland NY is the second weekend of August..

Buying big parts, engines , cabs, and the like up here either in the States or Canada sounds like it might be a nightmare in exporting???? Especially if you buy in Canada then come thru the States to get to your exporting container.. And what does Australia let you import????  I have driven across both Canada and Alaska a couple of times and still recommend renting a small/midsized motor home (caravan).. 

I still have a house phone!!! I am not married to my cell!!! An older style flip phone.. It is usually on the kitchen counter or in the truck cup holder.. With my bad ears I can put the house phone on speaker and hear it OK.. Especially the voice mail part..

Just like the Yellow Pages in the phone book... I can never find what I am looking for!!

DCW: I can drive anything as long as I  and/or the Truck DO NOT get paid..

DAs Geoff says above check you home state laws.. If you can find the PR / desk bound officer for your "Diesel Cops" they will take the time to look up the law a LOT BETTER than the local DMV.. We even has one come to our chapter meeting, lay out the basics and answered a lot of questions.

Here in N.C.  you get a letter thats lets you know that your D.O.T. phys.  is due..  then after it expires, you have 90 day's to get it done before they pull your C.D.L....  Because I don't drive for a living anymore, I was able to sign a doctors note/form/ whatever it is,,, and still have my Class 'A',  without a D.O.T. card in my wallet..  Of course if I get back in the Saddle, I will have to get my D.O.T. card..   Jojo

JoJo I have the same here in SC..  You just can NOT operate a vehicle if either you or the vehicle generates ANY revenue..

TJC: I know exactly what you mean!! Sit at kitchen, eat breakfast, and watch the news,, Then go in on this damn puter to check emails and truck sites..  Suddenly it is NOON and I have not done anything productive???

Will it be salvageable??? the right front corner looks BAD taking that tree out..

Larry, You are right.. Maybe Springfield MO??? As I did NOT make Auburn or Ft Wayne.. I knew about the Studebaker but not the Sightliner or other makes..

Our prayers are with you and your family.. Besides the change of diet, quit smoking if you did, and gentle regular exercise, did the Doc's say anything about a rotor rooter job or other major surgery????

Thanks for the pictures..

With the length of that boom out back, that Oshkosh needs more weight up front if they pick up anything Heavy...

Thanks Paul... Did they have any older Macks????

The man, my age, that rents my pasture land said his son has a friend who runs a local slaughter house and he has been selling a lot of his beef cut and wrapped.

$300 Grand???? What and what kind of weight is he going to haul on a Tri-Axle rollback??? Especially enough revenue to make the payments.

DCW

Thank you for researching this truck.. This is an interesting configuration!!! Especially for North Carolina.. Both Quebec Canada and Australia use or have used the twin steering set up extensively. Now all I have to do is figure out how to post your info on the Australian truck forum the picture came from!!!

It must have been right around 1968, you can find several photos of that nose style on the web. When you look for 1967 Brockways, you don't see many (possibly these were built in '67 but maybe titled as '68 models).

I think you a close!!! That is about when I would guess..

I had a delivery to our plant in Luray VA one day and there must have been 50 Model T's going to a meet at the Luray Caverns facility. They were strung out all the way from US 11 south of New Market to Luray.

Matt: It worked for me.. When I clicked on your link a got a small white box in the lower left corner.. clicked on it and you video opened fine..  Thanks!!

I do not know what engine RPM your spreader needs to work properly?? With enough low gears in the tranny (quad or tri plex) you should be able to do your spreading work without abusing the engine so it should(???) last a long time. Especially if you truck the material to be spread to the yard or field rather than having the spreader chase a long way for it..
