9 years later my grandfather is looking at it. It’s for sale

My dad had a twin screw mid 50's Brockway. Green, hot and nasty. He pulled a 40 ft. flatbed or a 30 ft. tanker with it. She was a beaut.

I often rode with my dad while he was working hauling petroleum products for Henock Oil Co in the Clifton, NJ.

Awesome truck 👍

I'm a 48 year veteran long haul driver and have driven these old trucks. One thing that always baffled me was the fact that they often had a convoluted shift pattern. I got pretty good shifting them, but always wondered why they were designed that way. Anybody know?

In those times they probably didn't put diesels in very many trucks.

Gas powered.

Most folks who never heard of a Brockway never heard of a Henway, either. "What's a Henway?" somebody asked. "Usually at least five pounds less than a turkey."

What you haven't put spring brakes on it yet, they should be a drop in fit. Several friends have done that to their 40's and 50's brake systems, though one is still vacuum. You need enough brake for our long hills. Have fun

Hi Bill. Nicely done!

lovely truck

That is the strangest most confusing shift pattern I`ve ever seen, most likely not synchronized either. I bet it`s a nightmare to drive. Beautiful though.

Beautiful big rig 🤩 It looks like it was a Hook and Ladder rig for a fire engine ,👍👍👍

my dad had a48 and i got to drive it way back when !

Outstanding classic!

Beautifully 😍 Done Sir...

$19,000 for the convertible conversion. Very nicely done but even I’ll have to pass.

Nice vehicle. Honest restoration is always best.

This just proves that the gents in the North do have thing's in common with us here in the South. We all love big trucks😎

Brockway also owned Crown Motorcoach of Los Angeles which built quality buses and fire apparatus. The name implied top quality.

Great truck but, We want to hear it run...... Ya know?

So glad you have it licensed and running rather than it being stuck in a museum never to run again. Such an awesome piece of American history. Back when you could live in a small town and have a job to go to after you left high school. NAFTA has since ended most of that and destroyed hundreds of small towns forever.

i build wooden truck model replicas so i love your videos thanks for the inspiration

Fantastic truck excellent work.Regards to Cortland fromm Greece

What a treat, never heard of this manufacturer before today. That grille is a work of art! Thanks for sharing!

Very nice old truck my daddy drove a Brockway cabover thank you

Never heard of these it's a nice truck

Wow! That's a gorgeous looking truck (dare I say it looks "friendly"?) Thanks for all the hard work, time and money you've given to this classic. I hope you still have it. 👍💕

This to me looks much more modern than 1948. Such a nice truck.

Showroom quality! Beautiful specimen of a unique rig.

That’s really a beautiful truck and nice peace of history

Beautiful truck. Glad it's been saved all these years.

Trucks don't need to run 100 mph like they do now!.This get removed and no doubt censored anything negative it NOT ALLOWED😡

Just art. Beautiful truck. Thanks

This is/ was my family's business 😁 I saw the trailers still driving around in the 80's and 90's with the faded name..

I have been trucking for 40 years ,My first truck I drove was a 61 brockway Texaco tank hauler ...

Heard the name, now I get to see it. Beautiful

Thanks, nice overview & History.....interestingly I finally got my first truck, a 2007:GMC CANYON LE/ 2WD LOADED, in 2007... now enjoy trucks a lot more , all kinds.

I'd love to drive it.

I've been to the factory (in 1976).

Beautiful truck, excellent video presentation.

Very nice video and Merry Christmas. Thumbs up liked.

Thanks for showin'...! One of the first trucks I drove was a Brockway and this brought back fond memories....

Beautiful truck, with some real character ....

Great looking content. Assume you did a great deal of your own coding.

Beautiful truck

She reminds me of that old yellow 1947 Brockway tow truck. At the old Union 76 truckstop State Line, PA. That was late 90's.

I didn’t see any black lines in the road. Lol. Sounds great 👍🏻

Nice! Back in the days of iron men and wooden trucks! Once in a while I drove a 1951 Brockway with 262 overhead valve Continental, 5 speed RoadRanger with electric over air two speed axle. I worked for a guy that used it as a wrecker. Even in the 80's, there weren't many local trucks that could run with it. It's still around...
