Brocky

I have been told that this Superliner design was the one big thing Mack kept as they closed Brockway. The Brockway operation closed in the winter of 76-77 with the final Iranian units assembled by management in Miami the late spring / early summer of 1977. I believe that the design / engineering departments of both companies started working closer together in about 74-75 with the introduction of the Brockway 700 series using the basic Sheller Globe Mack R model cab which had a different cowl for the Brockway butterfly hoods??? Maybe even earlier when Brockway started using the Mack F model cab for their cabovers?? Mack of Australia also used the Brockway designed "Huskiteer" 500 series cab after Brockway closed..I always stand to be corrected..😨

Tom, Thanks for all the pictures of your Florida trip.. The picture of the ice handling equipment reminds me that if any of you are able to get to the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mtn Lake NY, they have a big display of the ice harvesting from frozen lakes to ice down the milk trains coming out of the St Lawrence River valley en route to NYC. They also have a Linn truck with log bunkers in the forestry section. You and the redhead need to come up to Cortland NY for the Brockway weekend and visit all the beautiful upstate.

Paul There is a sugar mill along the A1 in the Mackay / Sarnia QLD area which has a mini mill in front of it, open to the public, which shows the whole operation, plus some antique harvesting equipment in the yard. There are some pictures of it here: http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/84264/Down-Under-Trip?PageIndex=7 scroll down towards the bottom of the page

The man who bought my Brockways has a similar Pitts trailer.. PM/Email and I can send you his contact info to talk to him.

Yes, He drives that green R model dump truck all over!! Participated in the ATHS Route 66 convoy several years ago and also been to a couple of the ATHS west coast shows.. I Had a good visit with him at a truck wash on RT I-78 before Macungie one day.

I think Hippy is right on the scarifier..

Happy New Year to all!! And some rain for our Aussie friends.

The actual name(S) of the designer(s) of the Brockway Superliner are probably gone by now, BUT go over to the brockwaytrucks.com website and maybe someone can answer your question.

Swish, Thanks for posting that video.. Some one spent a lot of time building that set up..

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all the BMTpeople from sunny mid 50's South Carolina..

Vlad, Very Interesting!!! Thank you for taking the time to look up, and take pictures, of this rare truck..

I have thrown some iron pulling tankers North of Syracuse NY to the St Lawrence River Valley.. Mostly to get from the big road into the distributors yard and back out, especially at night.. Learned to put an "S" curve in the discharge hose so you could move the drives out of the ice pockets when you were only half unloaded!!! And not to spin a wheel with singles on the outside!!!

I would say it is the only kerosene (??) powered tail light??

Here is the same truck as it sat on tony's back lot in August of 2015

I think the Red Headed corespondent from Florida my be keeping top priority on his time???

Welcome Back!!!! I always look forward to the scenic routes your travel agent sends you on..

J Mack, Try Bub Warren at Diamond T rubber, 806-374-3056, lilyellowbus37@gmail.com in Amarillo TX. He has been stocking a lot of stuff other than DT. If you have one good piece for a pattern, he can make anything.

What a HOSS!!!!!! There are not many 8 tire per axle trailers here in the States??? Seems to be an Aussie thing..

Daily Diesel had several on his website a while ago..

Very Nice!!!! Something to defineatly hang on the wall..

Did they still have the R model cab simulator??? Took a half hour to get the grandchildren out of it!!! I have heard that there is Andretti money behind this facility. Definitely a good half day tour.

Vlad Quite an amazing show!!! Thank you for taking the time to post these pictures.. I would not have believed that there were that many Macks in Europe..

Jim, Thanks again for all your great photography skills and taking the time to share the pictures with us.

Are your "elite" women elected or appointed??? If elected I presume they have no chance of being reelected in a very expensive election???.. If appointed the same goes for the elected official who appointed them!!
