vision386 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Was looking through some old trucking magazines this morning,came across some pictures of this 360 series Brockway,with a pretty nice hood ornament! they sure don't make em' like this anymore! Re-reading some of these old articles,OVERDRIVE was really good to both Mack and Brockway,calling the new (then) 360 "the most rugged truck in the world" of course seeing a good looking woman with a truck is'nt "politically correct" anymore,but i thought you guys might get a kick out of seeing some "old school" pictures.....................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

Joe Ditchkus Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 The Model on the Brockway was Joyce Mandel. She became somewhat of a XXX Movie Star. This according to post on Brockway Site. The bolt probably came from the one that holds back of fender on. Front is hinged for a swingout fender. Probably not as important as first part of my post. Joe D.
