This was shot near Troy,NY about 12 years ago for my series on ATHS members. The owner had an important meeting after the video shoot. He was not wearing a suit and tie for my benefit.

Boy, Seeing this truck brings back some memories! I remember when i was a kid seeing a Brockway with a v12 detroit pulling a dump trailer,grossing out on the scales at 140.000# and run the road at 70-75mph all day long. Boy, those were the days!!!

Neat video and beautiful restoration. I logged a million miles in the great Northwest in the 80’s and early 90’s and I never saw one single Brockway on the road out here. 70’s Mack’s were a rarity and usually underpowered and undergeared for the region. I have since driven a few and really appreciate how tough they are.

Brockway = One Beautiful Truck PERIOD! Brings back memories looking out the windshield over the long hood. The very first tractor that I drove was a 1957 Brockway single axle 2 speed with a Continental gas engine. It was a damn shame that Mack discontinued the production of this great hand made truck.

Brockway was one of the first trucks I drove when I started driving at 19. I alternated between a 5spd Mack semi, a 13spd ten wheeler milk tanker (with no Jake and only a 238hp engine) and a Brockway w/a Mack cab and a 270 Cat with a 13sp (no jake). I got educated real fast, LOL! Love those old trucks...rode many a mile w/ my dad...I guess it was just in my blood as I drove 31yrs before retiring. God Bless, Jeff :)

Hands down my favorite Truck on KZfaq. You also look like you enjoy it very much. it runs so well and you shift very well to. I would love to take it for a ride. My uncle had a Cab over 1965 Day Cab with a 230 cummings and a air shift 10spd. That was a nice truck too. I wish I could have gotten my hands on that Brockway before he got rid of it.

When that truck was built Brockway trucks were considered by many as the best truck money could buy especially on the East coast. The first truck I ever drove was 68 Brockway dump truck it had the same drive train set up as the one in this video. The Buzz-en Dozen and a 13 speed. After a year my boss offered his 5 year old Freight Shaker to me because he was getting a new one. I think I drove my new truck for about a week and asked for my Brockway back.

Awesome, Been a trucker for 22 years, is she like a Super 10? Never had the pleasure of driving a Brockway, drove an Old 5 speed Biscayne Mack, she tore up the highway, did NOT like hills though, but, on a straight away..75 MPH. Great old tractor, NICE!!

@richs3284 8 жыл бұрын

+Apocyl Doomer A Mack 12 speed transmission is like a Road Ranger Super 10. He has a Road Ranger 13 speed transmission. The shift pattern is selector down, splitter in direct, 1-2-3-4, selector up and back to first, 5-direct, mover splitter to OD for 5-over, 6-direct, 6-over, 7-direct, 7-over, 8-direct, 8-over. Now you can drive a 13 speed like a 10 speed if you want, selector down, splitter in direct 1-2-3-4, selector up 5-6-7-8 then 8-0ver. On newer Road Ranger 13 speeds they put the selector and splitter on the top of the knob making a three position switch, but they drove the same way. The next transmission Road Ranger came out with was the 16 speed, which you split both bottom and top gears. Most people drive 16 speeds like it was a 13 speed. By the way, I spent 25 years driving trucks both over the road and local work. I've driven Mack 5 speeds, 6 speeds, 8, speeds, 12 speeds, 16 speed, 5 x 2, 5 x 3. Spicer 7 speed, 16 speed which does not have the same shift pattern as a Road Ranger 16. Road Ranger 8 speed, 9 speed, 10 speed, 13 speed, 15 speed and 16 speed. With all of these new trucks with Automatic transmission, this will soon become a lost art, knowing when you can skip gears. Ah the good old days of driving.

@hoost3056 6 жыл бұрын

K. R. V. 12V71s were rated 475 hp naturally aspirated. The 318 was a naturally aspirated 8V71. 6-71s were usually 238 hp N/A with small injectors. Think of a 12V71 as two 6-71s sharing a common crank and crankcase.

The 12V-71 used 2 6-71 heads, and I think 2 6V-71 blocks. ( not sure) The crank is either purpose-built, or it might be 2 connected V6 cranks. The 16V-71 is definitely 2 8V-71 blocks. That means 2 cylinders hit at the same time. (pretty sure!)

@petermalanchuk8210 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, June201955, Thanks for the post. I remember the gas powered Brockways very well. They had Continental gasoline engines in them. One man who lived up our street around 1964, I was 11 years old, he drove a circa 1960 gas powered Brockway, red cab, long hood, single axle pulling a trailer for a bulldozer for Zara Construction Corp., Zara was quite big at the time, I believe they're still around. I think that truck he parked in front of his house had a Continental model S-6749 gasoline engine, with 749 CID, 254 HP, and 585 ft. lb. of torque.
