Brocky

Spent 5 years in an ESSO station part time while in college..An experience you never forget,, I am sure the Gulf Station in the museum will be great...

Our Prayers are with you and your wife..

AGREE with Brian.. It would be a pleasure to meet Shorty at Cortland,, especially if he brought a Brockway with him!!

Welcocme from South Carolina.. AND we do NOT have those hot dog stands either

Thanks for the Barn location... She can just WAIT on me!! I do enough of it for her JUNK shops!!!!

It will work out as we are doing the Falls first before heading toward Ithaca and Cortland.

HELP!!!! Where is this place called the Barn???? Is there a lot of antiques // JUNK for my wife to look at in the building while I persue the back lot??? We will be in the upstate for the Brockway show in Cortland this August..

Thanks Brocky

Bobby

Yes it is!!

And here is the one which took the "Directors Award" at Macungie this year.. 1935 DT 211 owned by David Kellerman from up by Port Jervis NY. Will be next years dash plaque..

Dave

Hope you do not mind me stealing some of your thunder.. Here are some pictures of your new Diamond T I took at Springfield this year.

I know it will make a great addition to your fantastic museum.

Brocky

If the route Mike suggested does not work, Do you have any friends in either Vermont or Alabama??? If so PM me for details..There is Broadway Title in Birmingham AL but they are expensive..

Dave

Saw it and took pictures at Springfield MO.. Am surprised that he is selling it?? Thought he said he spent 15 years on the resto?? It is a great truck and will look good at the museum.

It was great meeting you at Macungie.. Please post a picture of the Diamond T when you get it.

Since it has set for any period of time you will have to go thru the whole brake system rebuilding or replacing everything from the master cylinder to the wheel cylinders. brake fluid draws moisture and corrodes everything as well as the rubbers disintergrate over time. and the steel lines rust from the inside. The extra time and expense WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE!!!

I got a rebuilt Hydro-vac for my Ford F-600 from BEPCO, Winston Salem NC 336-760-0740 or 800-735-1154 came FedEx in about 2 days.. Save the box and styrofoam for your core return.. I do NOT know if there is a way to add a dual master cylinder to this type of system. I have not done so on my F-600.

The control on the steering column MAY(??) be a hydraulic brake lock,in addition to the parking brake. A lot of fire trucks had them..I doubt if it is a trailer application valve as vacuum braked trailers were long gone by this era..

Your hand parking brake applies to the drive shaft right behind the tranny, some are drum and some are disc. First soak the linkage good with panther pi$$ and the see if you can adjust it up stronger if there is any lining on it.

If what you are describing as a "scissors lift" is one which lifts the whole body straight up then dumps it, SAVE IT as they are scarce.. They were used only by coal delivery trucks from the 20's to the 60's and a few roofing companys.

You have a good looking truck.. Keep the pictures coming!! You will find plenty of help on this board.

Brocky

Definately looks like a refuse truck cab.

Will say it is an L model Mack.. By the air cleaner possibily repowered?? But at lease vented with no side panels. We used to run our Brockway Gas jobs with the hood sides folded under that way in the summer.

Here is the response from the Just Old Trucks "What Am I" Expert

Paul

That is a very interesting Brockway.. Also looks like it had center point steering?? Wonder how he kept i diesel cool with that small radiator??

Vlad

Thanks for the pictures.. A heartfull memory for a lot of people. And a great experience for the owners of the fantastic vehicles.

Gotta slip in a couple of pictures of Brockways. These are by far the best Father and Son restorations I have ever seen.

GearHead

It was great to meet and visit with you. Glad you were able to get to see some of the sights. If you ever get into the Carolina's keep me posted and I will attempt to do Yardo's "Julie the Cruise Director" job down here. If you run into Geoff tell him I said Hi.

Brocky

Great Job and congrats on the museum piece

Either way I will get to see it as I am planning on doing the museum on Friday Morning

I knew I had not seen Much of them recently... Sorry to hear of another company going down the tubes.. There were several of their trailers parked behind the Keystone museum last fall on our way home from Lititiz

Chuck

Thanks for looking up the Brockway Picture.. It is a sharp unit.. Actually a Big Thank You for all the pictures from this show.

Brocky

Chuck

Do you have a picture of the Brockway behind the B-61 Mixer?? Looks to be painted the same as the mixer??
