Detroit Diesel Brockway Recovery

[@rusttrail3]

Man that black tractor is so clean, and everything is done the old school way on it, one sweet wagon.

[@kermitwardell4995]

I got my license in a 318 Detroit with the sweetest set of straight pipes I ever heard, three years after I left that job I heard the truck coming up Adams street in Peoria Il, New owner same pipes.

[@brianburns7211]

My grandfather had a trucking company, and had all Detroit Diesels. His terminal was in a location where houses grew up around it. We lived 2 houses down. I still remember hearing that sound as all the trucks came back every late afternoon.

[@estebanrazo1746]

great sound ! Russia copied the engines Detroit 4-71 and 6-71. I rename them as Maz-200 and Maz-204, they have the same sound. Here in Cuba there are still Detroit engines of the 50's installed in trucks of those years working every day!

I used to break down and hook up our 40 ton shertzer detachable when I was 12 my old man taught me and the first thing he said and I"m 61 now is, whenever you hook this or unhook it stand on the lowbed if it drops it doesn"t cut your foot off, I suggest you do the same.

yeah, I noticed him sticking his foot under it for moment there. Made me cringe.

[@ChickennGritss]

Truth of the matter is to get the Best sound out of a 8V71 natural aspiration you need mufflers like twin Riker's. You get the sound from the exhaust and can hear the wine of the motor to make the Best Detroit symphony ever. Nice video, Beautiful Brockway

[@camaro2002rs]

Hope to be able to drive one of those 2 stroke Detroit's one day like 12v71. Can't get over the sound

[@rickycarter1142]

That’s sounds identical to the goblin truck on maximum overdrive. Pretty cool.🚚🚚

[@TheRoadhammer379]

Yes sir, the Detroit 2 stroke has been overlayed on many movie trucks, it was used in Convoy, maximum overdrive and others

[@georgesabol459]

A Brockway on a low boy, hopefully on its way to a good home, to be loved and appreciated. Great video!!!!!!

That sound always reminds me of Greyhound busses and fire trucks.

[@buildmor]

Even though Brockway closed in 77, those trucks kept rolling, I can remember seeing DeFazio Trucking running stubby nose Brockways like the one on the trailer into the mid / late 80s

[@wilburshuman]

DeFazio had a huge amount of those Brocks Re-Cabed in Lancaster PA at J Thomas LTD. He was an ex Brockway higher up , who was doing it the mid 80's. Toured the plant sometime in the 83, 84 range.......It was full of cabs, w/the interiors painted in that Brockway green.........

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

Great job on the video👍🏻

[@rasalas2x]

I can attribute part of my hearing loss to many trips from WNY to NYC driving a 1971 8V-71 Brockway with gvw's up to 90K (which replaced the old Cummins 250 Brockways.) Made a lot of noise in the city but didn't really put out in the country (old Detroit joke about city girls). It was still better than the extra tractor driven occasionally, a 1959 6-71 Crackerbox with a 2 speed tag axle. NYC was at least twice as far away. They each contributed to a slice of heaven, a 1973 Model 123 KW with a 350 Cummins opened up to 400 and authority reaching out and covering over 25 eastern states. Alas they are still fond memories.

[@Uber100]

Thank you for sharing your memories. My generation has a lot to learn from yours.

[@fil1329]

How much more power did the 8v71 detroit have compared to the 250 Cummins....? I believe it was the older smaller block than the 855....probably the NH 743 block? With a turbo?

[@demonphreak7533]

I never packed a thing, hell, I didn't even know I was taking a trip until I halfway to NYC riding shotgun with you and those ol trucks! There's a world of knowledge and hard work that go into driving and maintaining these ol trucks, that sorry to say, is no longer needed. Along with the onset of the automatic transmission, and an incredible amount of skills needed to operate trucks safely were removed from the truck driver portfolio. Two people in 2 separate truck accidents were killed on I - 70 near my small Illinois town this weekend, and could have been avoided altogether if people had been paying closer attention. You couldn't talk or txt and drive these ol trucks! I guarantee!

[@Slim_Slid]

fil1329 The NHC-250 is a 14.0L (855 CI) and the 220 is 743 CI.The 250 Small Cam makes 240 HP and the Military used them a lot in the 5 Ton Trucks.I have a M813 that's running 330 HP and 995 Pounds of Torque being modified,and the 250 with 240 HP made only 728 Pounds of Torque.The 8V-71 was rated at 318 HP with 800 Pounds of Torque.

[@ernestpassaro9663]

That’s about as long as the superliners hood mack stole the designs from them lol

[@rixxroxxk1620]

[@mattt198654321]

There's a way the air brakes whistle on these older trucks that brings back of when I was a little boy. I wonder why they don't make that noise anymore?

[@Retired88M]

Nothing like a V-8 Detroit but you need to wind it to the top of the governor and ear plugs are mandatory if you’re running straight pipes

Yep, they pair up best with a 13 speed. They don’t like being lugged down below 1700. 🤣🎵❤️

[@MisterMikeTexas]

First I've ever heard of a Brockway. I thought I saw the Mack bulldog on it. Is it a Mack product?

[@buildmor]

Michael Bacon They are very closely related, (by marriage, LOL). They were separate companies, But in later years Brockway was struggling, and Mack bought them out. The Dog you see on the Brockways is a Husky. I’m pretty sure that predates the merger. But the last Brockways that were made had Mack R model cabs with the squarish Brockway hood. Interesting though, I never see any Brockways out here on the West Coast I don’t know why they never were popular out here. They’re just primarily known as an East Coast rig. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brockway_Motor_Company?wprov=sfti1
