Could that be the same woodgrain stick on panels that Brockway used on their dashboards? You could match the sheet and reskin, cut around the dog, it seems pretty intact there, and splice the new in around the dog. Use the casting resin to build up depending how the splice came out.

Hopefully an original bumper will turn up for you, good job bringing her back.

I spotted this rascal hiding behind Gerhart's back in 2007.

It's part of the Tackaberry Collection now, don't know if it was back in 2007.

How about a 671,nice sized engine for a B .

Nice B-model, however you repower it, Jessecam.

Located in the Dutchess County area of NY, $400. Each

Can't help to notice the set of Carolina pups in the backround, when and where was the show?

Ernie, will this beauty be in Cortland in the near future?

The Matlack Photo has to rank among the greatest in my opinion, speaking of Downingtown, any Chemical Leaman B-model photos?

Could be an ex Overnite or Smith's Transfer tractor.

Albany Mack has been out of that building since about 1984, when they moved the operation over to Renssalaer to the former Brockway Factory Branch. When they outgrew that location, they moved to Menands NY to the former Southworth Caterpillar building, making major improvements there. Along with Fastenal, there is a large tin knocker shop in the old building, which has been there for a while.

The Brockway sign pictured, is on the origional Factory Branch just up the street on Broadway in Albany, not sure what year Brockway moved to Renssalaer. There is still a Brockway sign painted on the rear of the Renssalaer building.

Thanks for the information guys!

It's a pretty small photograph, but it doesn't appear to be all bent up, just paint fade and surface rust.

In the latest Wheels Of Time (Jan/Feb) on page 60 in the classified section, the H-67 appears to be a former Ralph G Smith Inc tractor, for sale in SC. I can't make out the full number, but it ends in 3.

Some of the first photos that I posted on Hank's Forum were scans that I made from my company's newsletter/magazine, the very next day they were removed, so I realized then, it was a no-no.

I've posted pictures from Dave Faust and Gary Morton on the Brockway Site, I asked and was granted permission to do it by them, it was that simple.

One of my pictures was good enough to make The Bulldog Magazine, as long as they gave me credit for the photo, it was OK with me.

never heard of any problem with them. Doug Fetterly has run one behind a 237 in his integral cab B61 for years. long as you keep your air tank clean and drained, i think youd be ok. kinda like a Roadranger

His is blocked off in high range, he runs it like a five speed, been that way for a while.

This picture is at the Rutland VT truck show about 20 years ago. Not very clear picture on here but truck appears to be all Brockway except hood and fenders. The chassis would have to be a 360/760 if a conversion. Need to find more about this truck.

Been told by someone who has seen it and photographed it, that it is a 360 Brockway with the cab and hood from a R700 Mack.

Don't ever remember Acme having any stores in upstate NY, so it's a wonder how this B-model got relocated here...

Although they were based in Philly, they had a lot of stores in Jersey. When I was a kid I used to help my dad unload these old Macks at his store in Nixon, NJ. All of the merchandise was stacked loose on pallets and had to be unloaded by hand with roller conveyors (remember those). You couldn't do that now, it would take too long.

Botticello of Manchester runs these trucks,among others.

Looks like you lifted two of my photos off the Brockway site...

Pawel,

Along with that Marmon, that company Nenni from Fishkill NY, also sold a 700 series Brockway with a V12 Detriot down that way, be on the lookout for that one......

I was hoping you'd be able to work your puking into more than one thread.

Is that U model an ex-Mason Dixon? They had the red wheels and bumpers and a big logo on the door.

Here are a couple links Fredrickson photos

Alex,

You should post the Brockway picture on the Brockway Message Board, they would love it.

Schwerman tank lines in Upstate Ny had a bunch of B61's with air starters and 10 speed roadrangers from the factory. Doug Fetterly i think said he had a chance to buy a few b models with factory roadrangers down twards NYC one time but passed at the time and he thinks they got scrapped. The 'ghost' B model t shirt is a ghost picture of a Schwerman truck. its also pictured in a few of the Mack books, pretty nice trucks, were a cream color and had dark maroon colored fenders i think and straight pipes with the extra signal lights in the bolt holes in the bumper where the angle iron for the cow catchers would have been.

Schwerman colors were black cab with red stripe, and a stripped bumper from early on, to B-models, to Whites, to first batch of R-models. In the mid seventies, probably around the time of the first batch of 300 engines they changed the color to the white roof and top of hood. After that, I believe they changed to all white. Schwerman also goes by the name Tank Star.

Was that IHC origionally an ARCO gasoline (Atlantic Richfield) tractor? Sure looks like the ones that pulled out of the Port of Rensselaer years ago. Nice job.

Here is the schedule....
