Lot of the trucks from this video are still in the yard. The Brockway went to O HI OOOO with a substantial markup from the final auction price.

Thanks for the photos and videos. I’ve only been to this show once and really enjoyed it. I would have liked to go this year.  Maybe  ext year if my father ever gets his 758 back from the body shop. 
I wish we could get something like this going for Autocar.  There are a loT of Autocars out there but the show is very small.  Michael 

The lack of activity around the Autocar name plate when it comes to an annual show has always puzzled me. After all, there is no shortage of trucks or people interested in the brand and they certainly were more prevalent than Brockway. I guess the magic formula hasn't been figured out yet.

There were quite a few new trucks and many that hadn't made the show in years. A great turn out for sure.

I can give you the sights and the sounds of the show...but not the smell.

IH, LDC-405,  Produced 1950-52, then became RDC-405 from 53-56.

Are you sure?

Were those lights stock?

I believe so. I think this truck was one of the aluminum frame and cab setups.

Clearly. These wall street guys know how to play the game.

Is the deal really done yet? I though the DOJ had to clear purchases like this for the very reason you mentioned.

Gotta start importing from the exporters. 😆

Yes, just the other day I spotted 2 IH and 1 KW COE on the NYS Thruway. IN THE SAME DAY! 

That's 2020 for ya! 😆

Saw this in a Facebook group this past weekend. The cat is out of the bag.

Wow....leaves much up to speculation. I would say this project is pretty much dead now.

I never thought much of these truck as the often replaced a much tougher and better truck, the Autocar DC or DK. But as the years wear on they don't seem that bad compared to the ugly new junk.

This reminds me of the U.S.S. Miami fire in which a civilian worker that was out of vacation/sick time set a fire because he wanted to go home. He lit a bag of rags on fire in a state room and effectively destroyed a 1.56 billion dollar sub!

As of now....THE SHOW IS ON!

Thanks! It's hard to find time with a 2 year old running around the house! 😆

Let's start a Duplex thread. Might be awhile before it takes off. 😆

1964 Duplex with a 230 Cummins, 5x4 OD, Rockwell top drive axles. Former Former Onondaga County DOT truck # 22.

This is the best thread on the entire site.
