Wow, small world, this is only a town away from me, I'll keep an eye out for this one.

Great collection of pics Tim, great to see so many old workhorses still in action. Only problem is I can't decide which is my favorite(if that's even a problem, lol) I love the early B-series Mack's and I love the Dodge Bison's, haven't seen one of those since I was a kid. Also been quite fond of Brockaway's as well...

I guess I go for the less known companies or the underdog. Brockways would be your local hero. We had a Mack plant in Hagerstown,MD that shut down and the main plant in Macungie,PA is not that far. Macks were so common place growing up that I took them for granted. They were always touted up,I figured mostly due to the mascot Bulldog icon. But,Mack really was a great company that built a full spectrum of trucks. I only knew them as common fleet trucks. When I went west and saw the long frame long hauler Peterbuilts and KWs I really caught the bug. Learning the history is really fascinating to me. I gotta say,I love the B Macks as much as the next guy.

Hey Powerdriver,foresight is right. And that's something that the average driver lacks out there (talkin' 4-wheelers). I guess you have to figure on dumb moves. I know I do just driving my 4-wheeler.

Thanks. Yea, that thing was a beast. That company was the third largest towing company in the US (out of business now) and we used that one for large recovery operations only (no actual road towing.) If I remember right, it had a 318 Detroit diesel with a 10 speed Fuller Road Ranger trans.
A couple more pics of it before it was painted at a wrecker show in Orlando, FL....

and one with a different bumper (the bumper could be filled with water for counter-balance) at another show....
