  1. Tom Thanks for the pictures.. Have never been thru that bridge / tunell combo .. Are you off next week?? You and your family Have a Merry Christmas and a safe New Year. Brocky
  2. I think this is the same truck on the street at the 100th anniversary show in Hendersonville in 2010
  3. Tom That binder with the long body is one of those built like a roll off with a chain bar floor to pick up the big piles/bales of cotton that the farmers compress in the field to be taken to the gin.
  4. Or the zip 84623 can go right after the word Utah
  5. Dave Looks Good.. Another clean up job for you.. Did you find out anything more on the Hiboy deal?? Was there a reserve on it?? How much??
  6. Mike Winn-Dixie in the Greenville SC area has closed up. Thinking they were originally out of Florida and do not know if they are still around south of here.. Last trucks the ran here were Brigadeeres with 6V71 or 6V92's in them.
  7. If you are going to pull a period correct loboy/dropdeck with a farm tractor on it, how about a J I Case farm dealer look with their butter cream yellow cab and Flambeau Red fenders and tanks??
  8. Makes my mouth water and the pocket book itch!! BUT no way to get it home reansonable.
  9. Dave Lookin' Good!!! Will have to get back up by your place again in the near future..
  10. Boosted All it says is southwest of Olympia.. The owners name is Roy Friis, ex ATHS chapter president. Serial # ED1S 3753 Brocky
  11. My Jan/Feb issue of Vintage truck magazine arrived yesterday.. A good article on a 43 ex-Navy Mack ED 1 1/12 ton boom truck from Washington state is in it. Available at Tractor Supply, can possibly pull up on their website.
  12. Her Bags??? More likely Mikes!!!!
  13. They were at Winchester VA this last Sept..
  14. Jim Try to schedule being in Cortland NY the second w/e of August.. A great show and museum..
  15. The cowcatcher grille guard may have been an extra cost option, but I think Ron might be right, If you bought a grille guard it came with the letters on it..
  16. The letters on the Brockway cowcatchers were very common. Almost think they were a factory option.. I know Ithacs Delivery had ID on theirs. There was some discussion about this on the Brockway site a while back and Tom Millard had looked into some one reproducing them. Maybe Joe D. can help shed some light on the subject..
  17. Tom How old is the Google picture???? The white truck in the right rear might be a DT or DR???
  18. Ken Sterling Hornoi of Regina Sask CA has one mounted on the back of a 1949 REO flatbed which he brings to a lot of the ATHS National shows and fires up. Probably will be at York?? I think that video Tom just posted may be Sterling's engine.
  19. Tiger Here is a link to a few pictures of the one Chad is building for his Brockway.. Steel frame with wood floor. http://www.brockwaytrucks.org/messageboard/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4737
  20. When I first got a radio in the 70's I stood 6 ft 4 in tall and weighed about 180 lb. One of the mechanics gave me "Broomstick" After another 50 lbs of beer "Dun Lop" over the belt buckle and a job change I became just Brocky. For the last 10-15 years have only used the radio in bad weather conditions.
  21. Mackdaddy I am sorry, I did not take any pictures of it.. Ivan Hosted the Heart of Dixie chapter show at his garage. He had it parked inside with all the front sheet metal and radiator off, the big old V-12 out in the open for everyone to see. He was doing body work on the back of the cab. and the door still said Taunton and Galt CA in mailbox stick on letters. Ivan's email addy is: dixielandtoys@bellsouth.net if they want to contact him.. maybe he has some progress pictures?
  22. Like Mike said, LUCAS oil stabilizer.. I run it in everything including the lawn mower.
  23. Ivan Taunton of Snead AL has one in his shop right now in the process of restoration.
  24. To expand on what Joe D said. AT built the Browns, but I believe that one of the Brown engineers came from Corbitt and a few of the the first Browns may have been rebuilt rebuilt Corbitts, thus the close look alike. Here is a Brown and a Corbitt side by side
  25. Mike Thanks for the pictures.. Am planning on stopping there again when ATHS is in Des Moines. 2017 Joe D. I stopped there on the way to Yakima. If I remember correctly the Brockway was one of the first trucks Father Bill Moon bought and/or restored.
