Pic of the Week

I went back through the archives today and found this great pic of a 258 sleeper cab. It is lettered up as JMB produce. I sure would be nice to find a decent integral sleeper cab to restore!

A few years ago I bought a 146W parts truck that was originally owned by Primo Marianelli. The truck was a straight job with a box and its my understanding that Primo hauled mainly grocery and sugar with it. I had used the truck as pic of the week several years ago. This past summer one of his relatives, Justin Vannucci, did a Google search of Primo and sure enough it took him right to Huskidrive.com. Justin emailed me several times and asked if he could come look at the truck.

Here is another great pic from the John Lewis moving van collection. This Brockway appears to be an earlier 30's before the stylized sheetmetal was designed.

A few months ago I received an email from John Lewis regarding the Huskidrive website. He asked if I was interested in a handful of Brockway moving van photos he had. John was kind enough to make actual copies of the pics and mail them to me. So here is one from his collection...

Yesterday we went on a local cruise for a benefit and about 40 or so trucks, tractors and dumps showed up. The Marushock Brothers brought there collection of Brockway's which included this 1970 N361TLY. I believe the truck originally started off as a tractor for Coca Cola. I'm not sure what happened to the truck after Coke was done with it, but it eventually wound up being purchased by the Moscow Volunteer Fire Company (only a few miles from my house). Moscow refurbished the truck and put it into service as a tanker truck.
