Brocky

$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.

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..

Mech: you are correct on the Viet Nam era name.. Living and running out of North East PA in the 70's I ran the "Trail" a couple times a week.. It was the village of Milford PA that objected to all the truck traffic. The village of Milford did NOT want a bypass in the 60's, afraid they would lose their precious tourist traffic trade, then bitched when they got all the truck traffic when I-84 was opened across NY..

Glad you enjoyed the show.. Hope to see you at Colfax this week

Thanks in advance

Paul, That warped picture does not help, BUT I will guess a late 50's to mid 60's model 257???? It is a 200 series and i do not know exactly when the 300 series with the big square grille was introduced..

When you mentioned Roll Up trailer doors I knew exactly the bolts you were talking about..

Beautiful day at Cherokee, not sure how many trucks, maybe 75 or more. 

Any Guesstimate on the split between antique and working?????

OK!! I follow what you are doing... My mind had the flat washer on top..

box truck carriage bolts fine (they are inside not exposed to elements.) that flat bed I would go the route of floor decking bolts  1/4 in  which have the 3/4- 1 in flathead  and flat washers / nylon nuts. few more $$ but well worth it ( my thoughts )

Will you need to countersink them to prevent snags????

Dean, I am NOT going to make Cherokee..But will be in Colfax the next weekend..

Great Fleet!!! They ALL look like they could go right to work ASAP!!

Yes on the A model.. I cannot remember which windshield to E model had.. That postimage is free...

Big R;; I only have a desk top, no phone or laptop, But I got around the picture limit by using postimage.com to post pictures.. There have been some other topics discussing using outside picture sites.. Maybe someone smarter than I can help you, especially with a laptop or phone????

The turbos on the day cab F models was back of the cab and they would be cherry red at night pulling Fancy Gap!!!

As D-Day said check all your wire connections from the battery to the starter and the small wires that lead to the ignition switch and starter switch and back to the engagement solenoid on the starter.. With not even a click means a loose or broken wire somewhere???

Carolina and Overnight both had a bunch of the F models..

Sound more like a loose or broken wire between the starter switch and the starter solenoid????
