Used to work for his neighbor and had the opportunity to walk both locations 10 years ago when everything was still there and talk with Bill, absolutely epic! Sad most of it’s gone
Like #39. Wow, that 51 Chevy 3800, i've never seen a tandem one before. Made my heart skip a beat for being a tandem. That ol' mack c-609st makes me think if Kenworth got the idea for the Kenworth SAR model with the short sloped hood...from Mack.
I sure wish there was a old piece of ground that could be used to park them up high and dry... I and my brother both were owner operators and we found a old mack setting off in the weeds.... so we took a pressure washer, and lots of soap to it. Took a whole three days to knock the moss and other off of it but it did come clean... oddly the old thermodin was not locked up so with just a bit of coaxing got it started... torches got the wheels freed up and so drove it to our barn. I and my boys spent about a week on paste wax and buffing it till it shined and so with some black paint on some of the framework, made it look ready to go to work. I had the title as it was in the glove box an I knew that fellow who did use to own it... he had past on and so it had sat probably close to thirty years.... lots of fellows wanted to buy it off of us but we drove it to a museum for heavy equipment. it was a B52 and not too heavy equipped so it was grabbed up where they would put it in the parade many a year. As it was setting in the pucker brush, it really looked like junk and then comes out a peacock!
All Pretty far gone. I think back to the Men who used those trucks, how tough they had to be and likely proud of how well they did their job. Drivers nowadays have no idea how difficult it used to be. Now I’m Not saying that the guys dragging that stupid tow behind plow with a single operator have it easy or anything.
There’s not much I wouldn’t give for that property and the rigs on it, fields of gold right there.
Every truck has a story to tell, these are & were a big part of American history. Bittersweet for sure!

Bet he had great stories.
I enjoy the video a lot!!
So sad too see all these trucks. I hope a few were saved. Keep up the great work thanks
Thanks for the memories 👍
Nice to see N.Y. communities buying N.Y. built Brocks.

Great vid................................ 👍👍👍
Those last 2 Brockways you showed look quite restorable ..
They sure did. Hope the made it to a good home.
@@Dailydieseldose315 me too . They deserve to be restored..
That was quite the collection. Cool video👍🏻
They only made the c model 3 years very very rare
Good job thank you 👍👍👍
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this collection from a local highway, sad to hear it’s gone
I remember those!!!! Talked to his daughter. She was tough! Could only look at select trucks. Not exactly a good saleswoman. Think most got scrapped.
When Truck were Truck and Men were Men Thank you
The little Diamond Reo tanker I would guess to be around a 1970, model C-101.
It appeared rust free, straight and complete also.
Does that brockway run looking for parts for a 1958 autocar
Thank you. Maybe better sell it on the auction, that go it to scrap.

I've wanted to go there so many times!!
All the old tired iron that made a lot of money for their owners until they cost more to fix than what they were worth
I drove a c model back in 75 it had a 711 turbo with a triplex and was great to drive
Hopefully some of these were saved to be restored or parted out ..
Great video
Several of those can be restored
It’s sad to see them rust away 😢
Quite a collection it's such a shame that it was left to the elements to rot
Makes you wonder why they were parked.
That heavy equipment graveyard with the Michigan shovel where was that located and can public come in and buy something or just get it
The Brockway most likely still had a wooden cab frame. Used to ride with my dad in a 65 pulling a 50 ton cowboy.
Do you still have the red Detroit powered Mack?
No, my buddy sold it shortly after buying it.
The first Brockway said Blue Ox equipped. What is Blue Ox?
An exhaust brake made by the Williams Co. Supposed to be an alternative to the Jake brake, but they never caught on.
@@greenmtnman7714 Thank you.
i remember seeing those in old overdrive magazines, butt jake brakes are the king of the road
See any purple "Big Al" engines?
Nope.
Are the ones with X's scrap or keep? I can't tell lol
Originally they were to keep but the years rolled on and the plans changed.
Desde Costa Rica que buenos camiones ,me gustaría estar biendolos,los felicito,
