1951 Brockway 260XW rescue - Part 1

Today we're diving into the ol' 1951 Brockway, time to find out what we've got, how bad it is, and what it's gonna' take to get'er goin' again! With any luck, we'll make some noise.

Taylor - out of the blue, another great video! Waiting for part two!

[@RustyRescues]

Thanks Scott! Will do my best, eleventy billion irons in the fire, as always! lol

@@RustyRescues My favorite part: "This was green before!" Your ADD shines through.

[@shaunolinger964]

No bets. I'm from the future, and I saw the title of your second video first, then went looking for this one. 😁😅

WOW!!!!!! BrockwaY!!! Looks to be in great shape! Will we see it at the National BrockwaY show in 23? You beat me to a BrockwaY video. I recently brought my 62 260 series in the shop, hoping to start working on it soon. When you pass by western Mass, stop in!

Hard saying, it's not as nice as it looks. The cab on it is all but shot, I'll cover more detail later on; it needs A LOT of work.

[@scatteredrustyprojects]

Curious on how the CLR worked. Have you made further progress since the green leaves fell off the trees?

[@scatteredrustyprojects]

@@RustyRescues well it looks a lot better and less work than the ones that are sunk in the ground. I'll agree about that day-job ordeal taking up too much time.

Good to see you put out a new video. You going to keep the Continental? Or, throw a diesel in it?

[@RustyRescues]

Undecided at this time. The Continental is kind of unique, but there's a lot of open ended questions on what's viable moving forward.

EvapoRust is another good option for you

Please invest in a camera pod or a headcamera in stead of fiddling around with one hand only... Wasting so much of your viewer's time or even skipping parts (10:02) is so annoying!
I presume you're using both hands while fumbling around with your loved one too?
