Located in the Heart of Cortland NY. the Brockway Truck Company first manufactured horse drawn carriages and buggies but as time wore on they moved into the horseless carriage business. Trucks! In 1956 Brockway Trucks became a division of Mack Trucks.  

Brockway would specialize in building quality trucks from 1912 to their end in May of 1977.

This 1948 Brockway 152W was built in the early part of the model year as shown by the Wood Cab Frame. later versions that same year changed over and incorporated a steel frame cab construction.

With a wood frame. the sheet metal was stamped out. then actually nailed to the framing to create the finished look. This style of construction was common in the early years of vehicle production. and also helped some of the early drivers come up with nick-names for this well loved brand. such as "The Cortland Shaker. "    The Wood Cab was by Robinsons Wood Shop (who is still here in town. and in business) and the sheet metal was by Champion. who has since ceased operations.

Equipped with the stout Continental 46B Engine. the 427 cubic inch Six Cylinder Monster will pull a house off the foundation. but top speed is about 42 miles per hour. It has a 5 Speed Manual Transmission and an 2 speed rear axle.

I want to extend a very warm thank you to Tom Millard for getting the history of my truck to me. as most often happens to antique vehicles. the history is lost and their identity with them.

Tom informed me that "Your truck" was originally a long wheelbase single axle gas or fuel tank delivery unit!  It was originally owned by Suttcliffe Oil in Scranton Pennsylvania!

Later in life. it went to Kaminski construction in Pittston Pennsylvania. It was never registered for the road as it was a site truck on their property. Dom Zacanino bought it.   While owned by Dom Z. this tractor was sent to Fruehauf to have the frame shortened and a new Simplex 5th wheel installed on the rails.

The Continental Gas 46b motor was rebuilt by DG Nichols in Scranton Pennsylvania. In 1992 Dom entered "Miss Rachel" in a "BIG RIG" show and she won in it's class. The next year. "Miss Rachel" as she was known was featured on the show paque for the next years show and is on the dash now.
