I'd love to have one of those older non-tilt COE's. They are just so unique.

Would the "Convoy" truck have had a Detroit originally?
Rubberduck Truck - YouTube
Suppossedly, this replica truck has a few parts from the movie trucks. All were wrecked during the movie, or after they went back in service for the operator who leased them to the movie.
The trailer is suppossedly the movie original, that was gutted inside to make it lighter, and the truck faster.

Great thread!
My father had about 8 Macks at one time. Mostly R Model dump or plow trucks. We still have an older U model single axle dump. However I would love to find an old B81 tandem dump for him. He always said his B81 was the best truck he ever drove.

I used to work for a guy that owned an excavating company with a fleet of B-81's. He also said they were the best dump truck ever built.

I understand this is an old post but I would like to know the whereabouts and some info on that Brockway. It has my attention more than other 761s because this one jas 2 dogs on the shell! That would mean it has a rare Huskidrive drivetrain, if it was original.

I don't think John Deere 55 checks in here anymore, but I just came across this thread. I was at his place a few years ago and he let me poke around unsupervised for 2 to 3 hours..... I really appreciated that ! He even had a couple trucks once owned by a company called Palazzi Construction, which brought back some great memories for me since my father worked there nearly twenty years. I used to ride my bike to jobsites that were close enough and marvel at all the equipment moving. J D 55 has some very interesting trucks there, including this offset cab L model, which I have never seen before. Some pics from my visit.
J D 55, if you ever check in here, THANKS for letting me poke around !
