Description
This photo is an excellent high quality 8” x 10” full color glossy new photo reproduction of a 1973 or later BROCKWAY Model 759 4x6 Conventional.As an extra bonus, I will include a 4-page magazine “New Products” reprint from 12/73 on the new 700 Series Brockway, which includes a magazine color photo of a Brockway very similar to the truck in this photo, and also 7 B&W photos of various new features of this model.
”SAMPLE” will not appear on your photo, it is only on the scanned image.
DESCRIPTION: The BROCKWAY 759 model had a 90” BBC with a high mounted cab to provide engine clearance for certain larger engines. The frames and many chassis components were based on the time-proven Brockway 360 Series, but offered an expanded choice of engines that included the Caterpillar 1694 and 1693 models, along with all Cummins N-Series from the NH230 through the NTA-400, and Detroit Diesel 6V-53, 6-71N, 8V-71N and the 12V-71N. After Mack bought Brockway in 1956, Brockway began using some modified Mack cabs on various new models. Introduced in 1973 were five new 700 Series Models using the Superior-built Mack R-Model cab. My original vintage photo has “MODEL 759 BROCKWAY MOTOR TRUCKS” printed on the bottom as shown in the scan.
BROCKWAY: Veteran New York carriage builder George Brockway built his first motor truck in 1912 as a high wheel delivery wagon. By 1914 Brockway was building conventional trucks with 4-cylinder Continental engines, a company that would remain their primary engine supplier into the 1960s when diesels became more prominent. By the late 1920s Brockway had become one of the nations largest independent truck manufacturers. In 1928 Brockway bought the Indiana Truck Corp. of Marion, IN to expand into the midwest. However by 1932 the Depression caused Brockway to sell the Indiana line. Brockway was heavy into military production in both WWI and WWII. In 1956 Brockway became a division of Mack Truck, and soon became the ‘Husky’ line. New designs in the 1960s often used Mack cabs. Despite a proud following of Brockway owners, after two years of financial loses, Mack closed the operation in 1977 after a wild cat strike complicated an orderly sale of the Brockway operation.
