bullhusk

Ya see thats the thing that pissed me off.... He should have called the guy before me first an told him how the deal was changing, an if he backed off he should have gone down the list of callers as he said he would do. I'm about 3 hours driving time away, so it was no big deal. How did he show up sooner? theres guys out there that live for these kind of deals, just to say I won the truck not bought the truck!!! So I guess I've said enough on this post an I thank you guys for your honest opinions, just another day in the game of life BULLHUSK

Yes Rob, I'm sure thats what happened in my case, some back door guy came in an "busted out" the deal. An ya know the buyer told the seller not to tell anyone his name...... An It's funny how that "fate" thing works sometimes??

Mark, Diamond Ready Mix in Staten Island NY has a few of them an they are powered by a Cummins L10 I don't know the hp but they get the job done!!! He also has about 4 nice 759 Brockways with 10 yd mixers on them that he bought new in the 70's

Speedy, It was the seller who set the rules, he requested that the first couple of callers would have the first shot an that I could not come look at it untill the first caller did, so basically the seller changed the rules during the game!! An thats what pissed me off, because basically he told us we couldn't come to see it, but of course there's always someone comming in the back door an we all know what I'm talkin about BULLHUSK PS an like Lmack. said we already set up a meeting for Monday with a price with the 5th wheel included. so the deal was made if the first guy backed out! thats what pissed me off, I even asked him if he wanted me to send him a dep. if the first guy couldn't make it on Sunday, he said no not necessary

OK guys honestly! Tell me how you would feel if this happened to you, Yesterday morning (Saturday)@ about 9am I go on line to Truck paper.com so I see this Brockway 761 V8 Detroit nice shape tandem double frame $3,000 So I call this guy an I talk to him for a good 1/2 hour or so about the truck,He's a house mover I tell him I just bought a 66 with a 100,000 lb oscillating 5th wheel thats like new an asked if he would be interested in making a deal with his truck an $$$ so we talk about it a little more an come up with a price for the 5th wheel an cash. OK now I was the 2nd person to call about the truck,so the first guy is gona call him back an look at the truck sunday (today) if he doesn't call him he(the seller) will call me on Sunday so he can give me directions to his place so I can come up on Monday with a trailer an cash an take the truck. OK now in the meantime someone post's the truck on the Brockway web site, now the whole world knows about the truck. Now heres were I want to bite a Huck Bolt off the fram of my truck the seller caller calls me back on Sat. night an tells me the truck has been sold, So I said well OK I guess the guy who was comming on Sunday came today?? No he said a guy came an looked at it about an hour ago an made me a cash offer i couldn't refuse. Well I guess I don't have to tell you what happened then@#$!@&^%*&^$%%^()_+&%# Now I will tell you guys on this web site if you ever deal with me on anything, WHO EVER COMES FIRST WILL HAVE THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL PERIOD so what do you think should I have been pissed?

Hay guys the 5th wheel is a Holland an on the plate it's marked HOLLAND HEAVY DUTY I also got two numbers off of it L79183J K21578 Pictures would have came tonight but JR said he can't trasfer the pic's from my phone to computer, if that makes any sense? Anyway he said to bring my digital camera to the garage on Monday an that would be easier for him to do. Maybe if I get A chance tomorrow I'll take a ride down to Jersey City an take some I know.... Iknow.... It's very frustrating on my end also!!! Mark I have the Colonial Mixer from First Gear! also try 3000toys.com Ernie PS the serial # of the Brockway is N260LOM-65095 (vintage 1966)

Devino drove over the Brockway today!! 1966 N260L, She's an old Navy tandem tractor with 36,000 mi on her. I took it for a spin with his dealer plate still on. Well all the gears in the 4X3 trans work!! the 270 Cummins sounds real good also. It does not have the orig. bumper & is missing the grill guard, but other then that she's all there! A little rust over the windshield but no dents or rust under the doors. The weird thing about this tractor?? It's got a really heavy 5th wheel,looks like it has two inch pins an has a big two inch nut under the plate that makes it have ability to rock from side to side, I've seen something similar on the big Army Tractors, but not with this side to side deal. Have any of you guys ever seen one before?? I will be taking it off an maybe try an sell it (it looks brand new) BULLHUSK

I always carry a pair of throw away coveralls (Tyvek) an I always had a piece of 3X6 corragated cardboard folded behind my pass. seat (creeper) it saved my back an ass many times. You guys always come up with some helpful info on this site !!!! great stuff keep it coming !!! BULLHUSK

Well then thats a good thing, but if it were to go the other way?....Then maybe my theory??????

The only thing that worries me ?? What if Mack starts out selling Volvo BIG TIME, will Volvo do to Mack what Mack did to Brockway??? History sometimes repeats itself. I hope I'm wrong but it wouldn't take much for Volvo to pull the Bulldog off the hood an change the grill with ther famous / with the V just like they did to Autocar. It started out White then Volvo White GMC, then White an GMC vanished into thin air!!!! Then came A-car they started out by putting Volvo under the door, then they started with the grill..... then all of a sudden!!! Autocar? any body see Autocar??? hello Autocar are you out there????? Again I hope I am dead wrong on this one!! but we must keep a close eye on Volvo, an if we see the above start happening? Then we know the end is near. BULLHUSK PS I know Autocar is being built by someone else, only in a C.O. what A shame

Happy Birthday Mark !!!! Ernie

WOW now thats a lot of weight for a Super-Single !!
