    Seems like the coventionals had metal tread plate front fenders. Does that sound right?

    I like thinking about old trucks. I may be wrong about the front fenders. I drove a 1979 IH paystar and it had treadplate fenders and may have had that on my mind when I was thinking of a Brockway

    I've never worked on a Brockway or seen one in person for that matter (why did I skip the annual convention?) but since I live in Central NY they're something that were made in the area

    Do you ever look at Hanks trucks pictures? There are some Brockway pictures on there.

    Do you plan on becoming a driver? All this truck talk has to make you think about it.

    I thought about getting my CDL to drive dump but I'm getting a degree in Wildlife right now with thoughts of working in a zoo so I prolly won't end up being a trucker, maybe just get an old Brockway to show off on the weekends

    I seen one for sale locally over X-Mas break, had a 7 speed and a Detroit 8V92 and the original mudflaps were sitting in the cab so they didn't get dirty doing farm work, but I had no money to get it and it's gonna be a few years before I do get money, just hope I can find one with what I want in it
