    Just found the whole news clip has been posted on the brockwaytrucks.org site. I think Tom Millard's post and discussion is on the forum about a year or two ago.

    Joe is right. Before the days of Spring Lock brakes there were a lot of runaway truck accidents in the citys of northern PA and Central NY. Long Steep down hill into town and no where to go at the bottom!! Usually an intersection with a turn in it.. Blow one brake diaphram and NO AIR!!! or transiants getting the brakes hot.. Aurora Street hill (96B?) coming into Ithaca NY even had a sorta leveled railroad crossing by Morse Chain which created a ski jump effect.

    Larry Most of the inside parking is for like "Brass Era" and other high dollar rare vehicles. ATHS has offered it for about the last 4 years or so since they have gone to larger venues.

    Mark Try placing this question on the ATHS forum.. There should be a bunch of trucks / campers coming East for the York show..

    It was at the Vintage Trucks of FL show on March 6-7. Did not catch the owners name, but it Purrs like a kitten and he took it on the 20 mile round trip parade with no problems. I think it is the first one I have seen with Budd wheels.. Would that have been factory stock???

    Might work with some products, BUT cleaning and possible contaminations would be a nightmare!!!

    Paul The anti freeze does that. The block heater warms the engine so that combustion by pressure will occur without the block absorbing all the heat generated..And to some extent warms the oil so the starter motor can turn the engine faster

    Paul LI and Paul OZ I still cannot understand the reasoning behind these people?? Even today (in Ferguson MO) they loot / burn / destroy their OWN living areas / neighborhoods..

    I think(??) that the race riots of the mid / late 60's was the down fall of the open cabs. TOO MUCH $H*T thrown on the drivers enroute to an event!!!!

    Green Dash I believe on that 45 miles of PA on 90, CF just used a regular tractor with a big ballast block in place of the 5th wheel and a pintle hitch to drag the kite trailers back and forth.
  22. Brocky
    Yes Mark I definately remember those. One of the nicknames was "suicide doubles".. PA did not allow doubles so this made them into a truck trailer which was legal. They basically ran between York PA and Akron OH. As said above it was a long wheelbase single axle with a long slide on the 5th wheel and the lead pup had folding landing gear. The lead pup was dedicated to break bulk freight between the 2 terminals and the rear would be any long haul pup.
  23. Brocky
    Mark In the early 70's CF had some of those Freightliner 4X4's running between Buffalo and Boston pulling twin 28 ft pups on the NY Thruway and Mass Pike back when the NYT regulations said that doubles had to have 2 driving axles.. UPS and everybody else was pulling 2 40 or 45 footers with twin screw tractors.
