I drove a Brockway, 1974 model, 761 .... It had a 270 Cummins with a 9507 Fuller. We tree length logs down in Mississippi. It was great fun for a young man.....
My father was a owner operator for 40yrs....ive be a class 7-8 mechanic for 30yrs...i also build 1/25 scale truck models.....i enjoy these vids....thank you...Matty
My Grandfather and his brother owned many Brockway trucks . One of the wrecks of those trucks my grandfather turned into a pick-up that he called the Huskie Pup. The company he and his brother inherited from their father Ernest Allen Sr. was named Allen Coal Company. My older Brother has 99% -100% of the records to all the Brockway trucks the family owned when the company was going well. My grandfather's nephew Ernie Lyons is the current owner of the beloved Huskie Pup. My older brother and I grew up riding in the one our father drove which was a V-12 which had the #72 on the front bumper.
Grew up in McDowell & Wyoming co. WV. A lot of Brockways had Detroits in them. You're right Macks replaced them but lots of IH Paystar 5000s and Ford 9000s too. Bluestone Coal had those beast off road Autocars, those were impressive as hell.
Thank you for another great video I enjoy them and I love the history of trucks keep up the great work.. And I'm wondering would you do a video on Peterbilts 377.
I drove a little of everything as a kid, anxious to be behind the wheel. I had my own share of trucks .... as a beginner, I wasn't too harsh on running gear. I drove macks, auto car, FWD, and all non descrip trucks that had yet to make a name. I started steady in a pete kit on a mack frame and it was at the least, only a shadow of a truck, but we hauled just as much. I owned the international, then a mack, and finally a pete. I was in love and thought that god stopped right there. But time went on and so did I an so back to work for the other guy crawled in to a KW and then is when I knew god did love me. I put a million and an half on that truck alone as a long haul, local haul, an hard haul. If it was moved with a truck then I did too, an if we thought it could I gave it a try. Listening to this trucks story makes me wish I had driven one. I have a idea for a truck cab never tried before and think it would be a hit at least in some corner of the world. I sure wish I had one today to play with
Brockway let you chose your driveline, where Mack tended to push their driveline. If you've ever drove a Mack, their a weird beast with wide spaced gear ratio. Brockway let you choose from every engine, transmission, suspension, drive axles to what you wanted. My only complaint was the cabs were not made for tall people.
Didn't Brockway buy cabs from Mack for the 400 (Mack F) & 600 series (Mack R)? The development costs associated with a new cab design were just too high. Brockway was on the way out at the time anyway.

There was a lot of Brockway trucks here in Eastern Kentucky hauling coal back in the day. Until the DM and RD Mack’s took it over

Drove a '73 Brockway my mixer my employer used to have. It had power and every two weeks it would snap the front diff yoke in two.
Love the Brockway but my Mack comes first what was first Brock superliner or Mack Super liner.

How about Hendrickson?
Definitely coming. Thank you for requesting!
@@jackschromeshop8296 cool thanks!
It wouldn't make sense designing the Superliner To Be A Brockway if they had been 'planning on shutting it down'. 🤔
