My dad was a big fan of Detroit Diesels. From the 238 to the 318s. The best way to drive them was to start every day by shutting the door on your hand every morning, then you were good and passed off all day and drove like you were mad at it.
There's actually a fair amount of truth to that. Oil pressure in these was pretty low unless you are thrashing them. The angrier you drove, the longer they lated.
I think it's all how you Drive it & how meticulous you are when it comes to general maintenance....My Dad's long nose 75 Brockway with the V12 pulled a dump trailer (60 cubic yards) every day for 14 years without any major trouble at all.....(NYC)
@@mattt198654321 I would have to respectfully disagree with you... Maybe some , especially if the person driving it was not the actual owner , that would be true....
My dad was a "bed bug" for Von Der Aye Van Lines back in the early 70's. He drove a 1972 Brockway single screw with a 318 Detroit, and a 10 speed tranny. Fully loaded, that 318 would pull the highest hills in downtown San Francisco, and purr like a cougar cub!
Brockway Motor Trucks became a div. of Mack trucks in 1956. Cortland, N.Y. was the home of Brockway(Huskie town).The F model Mack cab was used and offered diesels from CAT, Cummins and Detroit Diesel. The quad stacks were implemented to try to quiet down the sound in the city, bouncing off of the buildings.Maybe if it would have been turboed might have been quieter.
fine truck ,,great to hear the v 12 popping out her fine tune , it must be one of the best ways to burn a drop of diesel ,to hear an engine sound like this detroit diesel V 12 , thank you guys for the wounderful video , greetings from ireland
Now what it needs is a low boy with a D-9 on it Jake breaking down snowshoe at at least 2100 rpm’s one or two gears down right around daybreak. You’d probably hear it 10 miles away
They were their Own entity. They bought parts from Mack to build their Trucks in Upstate NY. (Like KW & Peter built buying engines from CAT, Detroit and Cummins. And Transmissions From Rockwell, Spicer, Eaton) to complete their "Trucks"/Gliders, Stick Chassis.
They were a Truck brand made in Cortland NY up until 1977. There is a big show on the 2nd Saturday in August in Cortland. Paul hopes to have this truck there.
They where an old brand Mack bought them about the same time they bought Hayes of Canada. Early 70s I think. The Brockway Cabs where a F700 for the Cabovers and an R model cab for the long nose they shut down in 76 or 77.
I sure do not miss that error!! I will never understand why anyone want to buy some junk like that, all of that noise just the tractor, picture it pulling a loaded trailer NOISEY!!!!!!!!!!!! than sitting over the steering tire! horrible ride!!! i been driving for 34yrs im sure glad those days are over with!!!!!!!!!!!

No Power Steering Either !

Saving a piece of Brockway history!!! Good stuff! 🥰 Sounds sweet and those 4 pipes...I just can’t get over it! 😳

A Brockway with quad stacks & 2 air breathers, and a Detroit! DAMN!! that is a truck waiting to get driven hard!
Gmoney not to mention a tag axle.
And they were back in the day

Detroit Diesels sing some sweet music and roar on the road. Like the wheels too. And it hardly smokes like most Detroits do. Lots of life left in her.
The history behind this particular truck is both interesting and somber….
Fun fact this truck hauled the I beams a stuff to the world trade center.
Now that's a kick ass Brockway . Nice truck.
When we built this truck at AJ Ross Logistics in Keasbey, NJ is was one of a kind then. Bob Davis was the driver. Built it in the mid 80’s.
I don't even know what say
Its unbelievable love it
That is one bad ass Brockway.
Use to drive one called it brockasoreass!
They just hammered your back down the road, right?
Nice oldschool truck !
Ole piece of history there
What an old sweetheart!
They came with a 12V71 from the factory Michigan trains
You boys can't get that Manhattan Beach down there to New Mexico for me look for Bruce Johnston
Hey this truck was on Daily Diesel Dose
🚛👍 I've never heard of a Brockway make. Wow.
Very very cool cabover.
Now what it needs is a low boy with a D-9 on it Jake breaking down snowshoe at at least 2100 rpm’s one or two gears down right around daybreak.
You’d probably hear it 10 miles away
Wow .never seen a truck with 4 stacks. That's just manly , lol
Were they bought out by mack? I always loved the style of an old Brockway.

I don't know which is better: "How the fuck do I do this?" or the fact that you kind of sounded like Butt-Head when you said it
Please tell you two mutts are gonna do more with that COE than make noise ???
I've never seen four stacks on a truck it looks pretty cool
AKA "Cop Callers" climbing the back of the Bunk.
Two are Air Intake Feeders. Two Are Exhaust.
@@len-zeplin480 that's not true you can see the intake with the black hood on it those other two are piped in as stacks smart guy
@@ronaldmorrison6013 That's EXACTLY What I Said & Meant. I drove enough of them over the Years. Glad you figured it out though.
@@len-zeplin480 there are four actual stacks bro, and the aircleaner bro.
What a Fkn find👍
That's one BadAss Truck
Isnt that the custom built brockway that was meant to be a prime mover
So y’all are the ones that own “The Beast”
Love that sound
Is Brockway the brand of this truck or some kinda company that put the v12 in them?

That Brockway is built like a MACK TRUCK
get that boy to work!
Did he say the air pressure was at 150?
That cabover loox like a Mack.
Mack bought out Brockway the cab it a F-600 cab, only thing Brockway here is the Husky emblem and name.
I sure do not miss that error!! I will never understand why anyone want to buy some junk like that, all of that noise just the tractor, picture it pulling a loaded trailer NOISEY!!!!!!!!!!!! than sitting over the steering tire! horrible ride!!! i been driving for 34yrs im sure glad those days are over with!!!!!!!!!!!
You need fuel contact John sabatino Rome New York the duck knows where he's at
Same Truck as a MACK F700.
Brockway built their own trucks but they used Mack cabs just a different grill on the cabover and different hood on the conventional
Pretty much
Cool as hell, but I wouldn't want to spend 11 hours a day in it.
I used to drive a later model truck with a buzzing dozen in it a Ford coe, it was great at the time but I don't miss it at all.
There's a girl made to do some work! Nice!
ua-cam.com/video/CeoeIuv1Fjc/v-deo.html here is the truck recently
Buzzen dozen
Go back to twin stacks and let her scream!
Fy
What an awesome truck!
