    Let's put it this way, The owner / builder has done a lot of creative engineering and body work to build this truck..Here are the spec boards displayed with it at Alice Springs. In the original I can blow up the print to be able to read them better. I hope the posted pictures you can do the same??

    Paul, Do NOT quote me but I THINK it is about 50/50 maybe 70/30 in favor of loaner trucks??? Hopefully someone will have a better answer.. Maybe some year you and the Princess can make it up to the Macungie show.

    Very Good Doug!!! Will you be open the Friday AM of Macungie weekend??

    Harry All of the above plus it is an American thing due to our congested traffic and minor fender benders. Much the same as your "Roo Bars" are an Aussie thing.

    Thanks Jim, just part of my job as chapter newsletter editor.. Hope to see you at Watts tent at Macungie.. Do not know the history of the black R model.. Owned by the show host, he was so busy I did not get to visit with him. New to his fleet with Farm Plates on it??

    White Motor combined Diamond T and REO creating the name Diamond REO on May 1, 1967 and ended production at the REO plant in Lansing MI in mid 1975. I am not sure of the exact years but the Osterman Company of Carlisle PA built the Diamond REO Giant from about 1979 to the mid 90's. The word Giant was added after a court discussion with Volvo. The Deutz air cooled was factory installed engine until the late 80,s when it would no longer meet US emissions limits. When Osteman went out of business some of the Osterman people continued in Harrisburg as the T-Line trucks of today.

    I never knew Ford made a narrow cab steel hauler.. Must have a roof top escape hatch with the crane unit behind the cab???
  14. Brocky
    The bigger question is>>> Does Volvo even care??????

    Add some speakers and audio tape of a big machine gun and maybe the town council will listen to your words of wisdom!!

    Here is an older picture taken at Dick Crispell's new shop on RT 79 east of Ithaca NY. At the time it was taken the orange 761 had a 12V71 which was later replaced with an 8V92T. This truck now resides in the Ed Edministon collection in Dubbo Queenslaqnd Australia. The blue 1948(?) 154(?) on the trailer still lives in the Cortland NY area, is at the Brockway Show each August, and is still used occasionally to bring home another project.

    In June of 1967 I took my NYS class 1 drivers road test on a 1953 Brockway 154.. Flat head Continental, 5 speed and air 2 speed. Started at City Hall in the heart of downtown Syracuse!!

    The only problem with SS before you are 65 is expensive health insurance!! Give your Red Headed correspondent a big HUG from me for the bike week pics.
