Here are a few of the Macks at the Western North Carolina Chapter show in Cherokee NC last weekend

If you Make your move on at Saturday afternoon evening and those scales should(??) be closed up.

Brocky

That Mack probably weighs about 12,000 lbs (???) so that intl would be about at its limit. check the data tag and tire ratings for allowable weights, then total your weights up. You might have to load it facing backwards to keep the weight down on the steering axle??

As an old outlaw I would load it up. dodge the scales, give myself extra stopping space, and bring her home.

An outfit in North Jersey used to have something similiar to dump bulk plastic pellets out of container trailers into a blower which blew them into pnuematic bulk trailers.

Probably were also used for dumping wood chips and similiar materials before the live floors and big hydraulic platforms were developed.

Please go to the ATHS site (aths.org) they currently have a topic going about titles and gives you the name and address of a company in Maine who can register it in Maine, where the registration is proof of ownership on older vehicles, then sell it back to you with the proper paperwork for Wisc to issue you at title.

That 157 Brockway is a rarity also. would like to see a 3/4 view so I can see the front as well. What year is it?? As it must be a combination of the 100 series cab with 200 series fenders?? A front view will tell he if it is a 100 or 200 series grille / radiator suround.

They look good here. Probably better than any others in your neighborhood.

A lot of the truck price falls in the catagory of "how bad the buyer wants it and how much the seller wants"

I have about 65 in my Diamond T and similiar ones sold recently go in the 40's although at Barrett Jackson Scotsdale 2 years ago one brought 100. When some one asks me if it is for sale I just say "it depends on how big their checkbook is", so far I have not heard any offers.

As Mike said, There are a lot of variables involved if you are selling. If you are looking for "declared value" collision insurance you will probably have to go to an appraiser who has the right paperwork for the insurance company requesting the appraisal. In Greenville SC it was a Corvette / Classic car dealer who only wanted pictures and a short verbal description of its rareity and who and how the restoration was done and he wrote it up for the 65 I have in it.

Hope all this helps

Do you have lots of time??? About 25 years ago my Aunt and Uncle booked a stateroom on a freight ship from the west coast to Oz.

No cruise ship, but good accomidations and food. No idea of the cost??

Brocky

Is the Wagon Wheel restraunt in Paradise still operating with the same food as 25 years ago???

You will have to find a tire man that services container chassis. And there are a lot of the one man / one truck tire service men out there, It is the big tire companys and chains who will not touch snap ring tires. OSHA scardicats. The majority of the containers are still running 10:00 X 20 snap ring tube type tires. Just be sure they are in a cage or mounted on the truck snap ring facing inside or another tire before inflating them.

The first one in grey primer was at Cortland. It is on an IH U-Haul chassis and has a in line six Cummins in it.

The second one is Tony Massone's from Palm Bay FL and is on a 3/4 ton Chevvy chassis. There is a topic aabout it on the Brockway site.

Mike

It was great meeting you and your Dad. Am glad you enjoyed the show. You missed getting this picture of a mirror back.

The final count was 154 Brockways on Main St plus the 9 displayed on the museum floor made a total of 163 registered.

YEP!!! Having those expensive electric ears stashed away in the medicine cabnet sure does help out in just mumbling something incohearant when the wife asks those loaded questions.

The auction is about 7-7:30 PM on friday night. It contains mostly Brockway parts, Various vender (Cummins,Detroit,Eaton,etc) shop manuals and literature, two years ago there was a complete truck, and last year a large 3x6 foot statue of a Huskie. Craig Morgan is in charge of it and I do not have his email addy. Try Stan Augustine at Saugustine@stny.rr.com and he should have some info as well as Craigs email.

You better have your Papa have a serious talk with your mother!! You can buy school clothes and paperwork on a Sunday or at night, But there is only one day for a 100th anniversary truck show. Heck have him tell her that he needs your assistance to unload the golf cart!!

Mike

I hope you can make it up. I am driving just a tad further.. the long side of 750-800 mile from below Greenviille SC.
