12V71 Brockway

[thissitesucks74]

You got a point Mr.Watts but this is what my dad told me and he's an old timer too.64 years old and hes retiring next year with his fat Teamsters pension.

[thissitesucks74]

@thissitesucks74 Besides,he refuses to own his own truck and drives a company truck.

[robertperkins2006]

Beautiful old truck runs and sounds great

[smiley19912]

Very nice, great old truck.

[TechMaven]

I love the Brockway and it having a "Dirty Dozen" makes it even better!!

[mackdetroit4life]

Boy, Seeing this truck brings back some memories! I remember when i was a kid seeing a Brockway with a v12 detroit pulling a dump trailer,grossing out on the scales at 140.000# and run the road at 70-75mph all day long. Boy, those were the days!!!

[flyingscrapyard]

Beautifully filmed, showing the things an enthusiast would want to see. Good sound synchronization. Good commentary with no music to ruin it. Excellent choice of subject. Well done.

[longroadpro]

@flyingscrapyard Thank you for appreciating all that I strive to achieve in these videos.

[MrJevonmartin]

if u look at the cab over mack and the brockway cabover they look a like

[104trucker]

@MrJevonmartin or the Hayes, nobody knows if they were the same manufacturer or what the story is.

[104trucker]

This is "Pristine". An unrestored 1970 Brockway U360TL. Lucia Lumber in Troy NY purchased this truck new.

[MrJevonmartin]

all that is a mack truck and brock was named it

[104trucker]

@MrJevonmartin No it was not. get your facts straight before you say things. ;)

[thissitesucks74]

Now that really is an old timer.He's double clutching.My father never uses the clutch when he's shifting.He said that just wears out a clutch that much faster.

[EdWatts]

@thissitesucks74

You wear out the clutch or you wear out the synchros/gears. I can change a clutch in a day or so, but rebuilding a transmission, with R & R, can take a week -- not to mention that the clutch job is a lot cheaper.

Take your pick. For what it's worth, I usually double-clutch. Yeah, I'm old...almost 60.

[dueltruck700]

beautiful truck!

[longroadpro]

I certainly hope so. So much depends on the future of marketing independent work like mine. Obviously, traveling is a hugh part of the expense involved with shooting the raw footage. With that cost having risen so dramatically, I really have to take a long hard look at where the return is going to come from.

Had I been wiser in my choice of parents, I would just do it for the pure enjoyment.

[dusenberg]

will longroadproductions make anymore truck videos?

[gullreefclub]

When that truck was built Brockway trucks were considered by many as the best truck money could buy especially on the East coast. The first truck I ever drove was 68 Brockway dump truck it had the same drive train set up as the one in this video. The Buzz-en Dozen and a 13 speed. After a year my boss offered his 5 year old Freight Shaker to me because he was getting a new one. I think I drove my new truck for about a week and asked for my Brockway back.

[longroadpro]

@gullreefclub

I was surprised just how quiet this truck was. You could tell it wanted to get out there and go.

[gullreefclub]

@longroadpro The dump truck I drove ran like a scalded dog. The Brockway I first drove was 20 years old and when I first got it looked a little sad and since I was a Kid I got ragged on by other drivers in their new shiny trucks. That all changed when I would pass them like they were standing still on going up a good grade

[longroadpro]

@gullreefclub

Reminds me of the song "Hot Rod Lincoln".

[jarl44]

I have chills . I love it when trucks were trucks

[truckindadd]

my dad had one of these but we used it to haul produce from Pompano Beach ,Fl to New York every week in a Day cab that was fun . NOT. I miss the truck but not the run up the east coast with it.

[jmac5058]

Is that a road ranger transmition in that?

[longroadpro]

@jmac5058 As I recall, that truck had a 13 speed RoadRanger.

[shadowr434]

@longroadpro I see two switches so Id say if it was a 13 speed it was most likely a 13 w/ overdrive.

[104trucker]

@shadowr434 RR RTO-12513 Very common in U360s

[chuckrl]

Brockway = One Beautiful Truck PERIOD! Brings back memories looking out the windshield over the long hood. The very first tractor that I drove was a 1957 Brockway single axle 2 speed with a Continental gas engine. It was a damn shame that Mack discontinued the production of this great hand made truck.

[Fireheart528]

Thumbs up if you want to buy a Brockway truck after seeing this video. Sweet ride!

[shawn68able]

truck and driver lookin VERY DAPPER !!

[moparguy66]

Gotta love the Buzzin' Dozen.

[trucker765]

so much has changed since 1998

[supertrucker94]

this brings back memories,, sitting in my dads 71 brockway, it had a cummins 903 with a 15 speed, he  work the truck for 16 years hauling a dump trailer and plowing snow,, just sold it 3 years ago to a good home, new owner is in the process of restoring the old girl ..

[Bdamm2048]

NICE!!!!!

[Dqalex]

Hands down my favorite Truck on YouTube. You also look like you enjoy it very much. it runs so well and you shift very well to. I would love to take it for a ride. My uncle had a Cab over 1965 Day Cab with a 230 cummings and a air shift 10spd. That was a nice truck too. I wish I could have gotten my hands on that Brockway before he got rid of it.

[lovetrain442]

She's a beautiful beast !!

[2000eclipseracer]

Dang not far from me . Does any body know were and when a classic rig show is in Ny ?for 2011. I wanna git into this as a hobby

[Brockway700]

@2000eclipseracer There's one at the Washington county fairgrounds every summer, in late july I believe. One of the first ones in the show season is in western mass

[macktheknife888]

That a beautiful truck. The trucks over here in europe have more power. Scania, m.a.n and volvo all go well over 600 hp factory tunned. m.a.n. V8 goes up to 680 hp. Volvo 16.1 litre staight 6 goes up to 700 hp. And the Scania V8 16.1 litre goes up to 730 hp, all these are facorty tunned. Just walk into a show room and buy one. But your red truck is better looking.

[shadowr434]

@macktheknife888 Ill sacrifice power to stay away from those butt ugly trucks you got in Europe.

[SeaDollarsBertram]

That's the quietest screamin jimmy I ever heard

[doltoy]

Beautiful Brockway. I'm thinking that 1970 was about the time that Mack bought out Brockway as that looks like a Mack steering wheel. "In its day it was one hell of a truck". It still is.

[Brockway700]

@doltoy Actually they were bought by mack in 1956 (if I remember correctly). It was long before the 300 series was produced at least

[origionalwinja]

its kind of funny to see a "gentleman" with a suit and tie driving this truck. LOL i pictured a hairy pot bellied dude with a beard and sleeveless flannel shirt driving. =)

[haustan123]

what a nice old truck, sweet music in my ear.

[GrayGhost8]

Sweet old tractor. 

[hububub46]

that truck was built in Cortland NY, now ...Brockway is long gone, but we still have the annual return of the brockways to their birth place...

[hububub46]

Looks more like Clifton Park area, but nice truck regardless

[K9Handler521]

Awesome

[june201955]

Back in the 50's my Pop owned a few Brockway's. The one's that he had were powered by gasoline engines.

[Xx69roadrunnerxX]

Excellent vid and beautiful truck!! It doesnt get much better than a Brockway with a Detroit Diesel 12V71 roaring under the hood!!

One thing though, has the sound of the engine been edited down so that its quiter?? That was pretty quit compared to the 12V71's im used to hearing.

[raidon33]

Exelent thanks for uploading this .......would have liked to see these brockways in australia

[NTC335]

萌え☆

[jnny3000]

[therabbittree]

[104trucker]

That is Peter Grimm

[rj2571]

Great video and a very beautiful truck!!!! I spent many days of my youth riding in the passenger seat of a V12 powered Brockway. This sure brought back some very wonderful memories. Thanks so much for sharing.

[nachos1990]
