Pic of the Week

With the recent interest in "Overdrive" magazine, I found this "Tractor of the Month" picture in the '71 May issue. Check out the story for the details!

Here is a pic of a mid 50's Brockway that was owned by J.R. Butler Trucking on Dunmore, PA. This pic was given to me by Dave Lewis of LA Lewis Moving. Dave noted that he rode in both trucks as a boy.

Here is another two for one deal!!! I had the 155W sitting outside the garage on Saturday for a few hours. My Dad was going to run and grab some coffee's and decided the take the truck. While getting ready to leave, a guy pulls in the driveway and mentions that he had a few Brockways of his own. Two hours later, the guy stopped back and dropped off some pictures...

Here is a pic of the cab over Ted mentioned in the "For Sale" section. I figured it would make a good pic of the week :) It's a 1970 K459TL-72866 with a 318 Detroit...

Here is the info from the add: "Turbocharged V8 10 Speed, Dual reduction, new batteries, antique ready for road service 175 gal in tanks. Located in Bucks County PA. Runs great. Detroit Diesel V8 5 +2 Mack Duplex"

- 500 gpm PTO pump
- Cummins 290 cid 6-cylinder w/blower
- 7-speed manual transmission

- Exterior paint like new
- Interior excellent condition with original Brockway mats.

There was only one bid for $20k and it didn't meet the reserve.
