My dad was a "bed bug" for Von Der Aye Van Lines back in the early 70's. He drove a 1972 Brockway single screw with a 318 Detroit, and a 10 speed tranny. Fully loaded, that 318 would pull the highest hills in downtown San Francisco, and purr like a cougar cub!

Brockway Motor Trucks became a div. of Mack trucks in 1956. Cortland, N.Y. was the home of Brockway(Huskie town).The F model Mack cab was used and offered diesels from CAT, Cummins and Detroit Diesel. The quad stacks were implemented to try to quiet down the sound in the city, bouncing off of the buildings.Maybe if it would have been turboed might have been quieter.

My dad was a big fan of Detroit Diesels. From the 238 to the 318s. The best way to drive them was to start every day by shutting the door on your hand every morning, then you were good and passed off all day and drove like you were mad at it.

There's actually a fair amount of truth to that. Oil pressure in these was pretty low unless you are thrashing them. The angrier you drove, the longer they lated.

I think it's all how you Drive it & how meticulous you are when it comes to general maintenance....My Dad's long nose 75 Brockway with the V12 pulled a dump trailer (60 cubic yards) every day for 14 years without any major trouble at all.....(NYC)

They where an old brand Mack bought them about the same time they bought Hayes of Canada. Early 70s I think. The Brockway Cabs where a F700 for the Cabovers and an R model cab for the long nose they shut down in 76 or 77.
