  1. That's a fine looking Pete parked behind the MH!
  2. It probably came without steer brakes, I've seen trucks as new as 1975 without factory installed brakes.
  3. They were used on ashtrays, among other things.
  4. On the older Macks, the manual steer trucks usually had 22" wheels and the power steer trucks had 20".
  5. I don't know if this has been brought up before, but Mack has a website with some pretty nice shirts, hats, die cast, etc. https://mackshop.com/retailstore/
  6. I've talked to guys at the truck shows who had a custom headliner made at an upholstery shop. Prolly lots of green pieces of paper.
  7. Great work! If that truck had a million miles on it, you can imagine the vibration that needle experienced. I've seen a lot of them broken off.
  8. I've never seen brakes hooked up without QR valves, I don't know what negatives there would be. I achieved anti-compounding by using a QR-1C valve (not very expensive, very easy to plumb).
  9. It's a real shame, those trucks were probably scrapped. I imagine they led hard lives.
  10. On the later trucks, it's called the tractor protection valve (Bendix TP-3). Maybe the older trucks it's just called a relay valve?
  11. 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).
  12. I have seen several questions about the beige interior paint over the years, but haven't seen anyone come up with a code number for it.
  13. If you hover your pointer over the web address of the auction in the top bar, right click and click on "copy". Then when you type your message on here, just right click and click on "paste".
  14. On the 673 motor it has a dowel so you can pull the pump without retiming. I don't know about the later engines.
  15. I don't know how the price of a Brockway compared with other trucks, I figured since they were hand-built they would cost more. The poem calls them cheap. Pretty good poem!
  16. Elevator bolts. We used them when we built roll-up trailer doors, they pull down almost flush with the surface (except Apitong is pretty hard, sounds like Matt is going the correct route).
  17. Since I got the Mack "done", I started tinkering around with the Brock. Check out this video, and then watch the "will it start" video after it.
  18. Really interesting article about the Powerliner. At the end they mention an experimental Hall-Scott 2181 c.i. gas engine--probably had to pull a gas tanker to keep it fed! https://www.curbsideclassic.com/blog/trucks-and-heavy-equipment/truck-history-1973-freightliner-powerliner-its-giant-1150-cubic-inch-19l-600-hp-cummins-kta-600-was-the-largest-diesel-in-production-highway-trucks/

    1959 H67T

    The s/n is 3071, unit number 160.
  20. 1959 H67T with turbo 673 and duplex, former Ralph Smith truck. The cab is rusted beyond repair, but the chassis looks good. I have no idea what condition the engine is in. The truck appears to be complete. The title is signed but not notarized so I don’t know how easy it will be to get transferred to your name. Located in central Ohio, I have a tractor to help load but it would not push this truck up steep ramps. $800 or best offer. I had this posted as an H67ST, but actually it's an H67T. I would say my memory ain't what it used to be, but it never was that good.
  21. 1961 H67T with 673 and duplex. The cab has a lot of rust-through but the cab frame is good and solid. This truck hasn’t been on the road for 20 years so it will need a complete restoration. The engine “ran when parked” in 2007. There were frame rail extensions welded to the back for a tag axle. The truck is complete, and I have a lot of extra parts that go with it. The guy who sold me the truck signed the back of the title but didn’t get it notarized so I don’t know how easy it will be to get transferred to your name. I also have a 1959 H67T with a bad cab but it has a 673T, 22” hubs, and the frame looks better on it so you could use the best parts from both trucks. Located in central Ohio, I have a tractor to help load but it would not push this truck up steep ramps. $1,500 firm.
  22. The guys at Rome are excellent, I got pivots, arms, blades, etc. from them. They have lots of NOS stuff at good prices.
  23. SOLD
  24. Time to get under there and grease those king pins!
