I got my license in a 318 Detroit with the sweetest set of straight pipes I ever heard, three years after I left that job I heard the truck coming up Adams street in Peoria Il, New owner same pipes.
great sound ! Russia copied the engines Detroit 4-71 and 6-71. I rename them as Maz-200 and Maz-204, they have the same sound. Here in Cuba there are still Detroit engines of the 50's installed in trucks of those years working every day!
My grandfather had a trucking company, and had all Detroit Diesels. His terminal was in a location where houses grew up around it. We lived 2 houses down. I still remember hearing that sound as all the trucks came back every late afternoon.
Truth of the matter is to get the Best sound out of a 8V71 natural aspiration you need mufflers like twin Riker's. You get the sound from the exhaust and can hear the wine of the motor to make the Best Detroit symphony ever. Nice video, Beautiful Brockway
I used to break down and hook up our 40 ton shertzer detachable when I was 12 my old man taught me and the first thing he said and I"m 61 now is, whenever you hook this or unhook it stand on the lowbed if it drops it doesn"t cut your foot off, I suggest you do the same.
I live 35 miles from Cortland NY where the old Brockway building was they have a big Brockway show and parade set-up in the village,a great visual event. Some old guys called the Brockways ,the "Cortland Vibraters".
8 71 and 8v92 I like BEST to drive. Very cool old TRUCKS. Old in so many ways have better looks and character,it's like older woman,their beautiful lovers as the song says. Keep on truckin.
Even though Brockway closed in 77, those trucks kept rolling, I can remember seeing DeFazio Trucking running stubby nose Brockways like the one on the trailer into the mid / late 80s
DeFazio had a huge amount of those Brocks Re-Cabed in Lancaster PA at J Thomas LTD. He was an ex Brockway higher up , who was doing it the mid 80's. Toured the plant sometime in the 83, 84 range.......It was full of cabs, w/the interiors painted in that Brockway green.........
I can attribute part of my hearing loss to many trips from WNY to NYC driving a 1971 8V-71 Brockway with gvw's up to 90K (which replaced the old Cummins 250 Brockways.) Made a lot of noise in the city but didn't really put out in the country (old Detroit joke about city girls). It was still better than the extra tractor driven occasionally, a 1959 6-71 Crackerbox with a 2 speed tag axle. NYC was at least twice as far away. They each contributed to a slice of heaven, a 1973 Model 123 KW with a 350 Cummins opened up to 400 and authority reaching out and covering over 25 eastern states. Alas they are still fond memories.
How much more power did the 8v71 detroit have compared to the 250 Cummins....? I believe it was the older smaller block than the 855....probably the NH 743 block? With a turbo?
I never packed a thing, hell, I didn't even know I was taking a trip until I halfway to NYC riding shotgun with you and those ol trucks! There's a world of knowledge and hard work that go into driving and maintaining these ol trucks, that sorry to say, is no longer needed. Along with the onset of the automatic transmission, and an incredible amount of skills needed to operate trucks safely were removed from the truck driver portfolio. Two people in 2 separate truck accidents were killed on I - 70 near my small Illinois town this weekend, and could have been avoided altogether if people had been paying closer attention. You couldn't talk or txt and drive these ol trucks! I guarantee!
fil1329 The NHC-250 is a 14.0L (855 CI) and the 220 is 743 CI.The 250 Small Cam makes 240 HP and the Military used them a lot in the 5 Ton Trucks.I have a M813 that's running 330 HP and 995 Pounds of Torque being modified,and the 250 with 240 HP made only 728 Pounds of Torque.The 8V-71 was rated at 318 HP with 800 Pounds of Torque.
Boy thats a really nice rig u got there bro... m first ride in a truck was a 69 brockway tow truck. Been in luv with trucks sence, hey can u post a pic of the one u just pick up when yur done with it please. Thanks for the video takes me back to the good old days.👍👍
Man, I must have watched this at least 30 times! I love that 361, such a beautiful example of my favorite model of truck. (I took the liberty of making her picture my profile picture :) Brockways forever!)
Nothing better than a Detroit in a Brockway. Drove a couple tri-axle dumps for this guy,, We had around 25 Brockways, most were Detroits with a couple 425 Cats in the trailer dumps.
the black one is a 361 and they are awesome work horses, it is such a shame that some of thesestrucks aren't being used when they have so much life left in them.
Don't roast me but I never really knew how those old flatbeds worked. But, good to see that people are saving pieces of history like I try to do. Kudos
Maynard Reed I know the new owner of the blue truck, if you’re interested I could get you in touch with him and he may be able to get you in touch with the property owner
There's a way the air brakes whistle on these older trucks that brings back of when I was a little boy. I wonder why they don't make that noise anymore?
God what nice trucks. I regularly see a Brockway working here in the Glens Falls area of NY. There's an old Autocar too that I see once in a while. Would like to find who owns them so I could get a better look
Michael Bacon They are very closely related, (by marriage, LOL). They were separate companies, But in later years Brockway was struggling, and Mack bought them out. The Dog you see on the Brockways is a Husky. I’m pretty sure that predates the merger. But the last Brockways that were made had Mack R model cabs with the squarish Brockway hood. Interesting though, I never see any Brockways out here on the West Coast I don’t know why they never were popular out here. They’re just primarily known as an East Coast rig. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brockway_Motor_Company?wprov=sfti1
We don't have them that loud in the states anymore either. You have to be an owner operator to suit your engine up that way. But American models are still louder than European models.
For the first clip imagine your in the forest playing hide and seek and decide to hide in one of the scrap cars then this Brockway is barreling up to you at high speed 💀
Jeffrey Bingham ya can’t go wrong, like real estate… They ain’t making any more of them! 😉 don’t know where you’re located, but you won’t find many west of the Mississippi best bet is Pennsylvania New York area

Man that black tractor is so clean, and everything is done the old school way on it, one sweet wagon.
The restored Brockway coming to help a relative in need...Love it!!!
The sound of these engines just make YOU wanna drive!!! Put some weight on the trailer and let them DOGS do the talkin'!!!😎💪
Orlando England your welcome
I know there's nothing like them! miss those days!
Clinton Makela me too
great sound ! Russia copied the engines Detroit 4-71 and 6-71. I rename them as Maz-200 and Maz-204, they have the same sound. Here in Cuba there are still Detroit engines of the 50's installed in trucks of those years working every day!
Caterpillar Cummins and old mack engines will blow the doors off of those detroits who cares !
Brockways are one of my all time favorites and so are Detroit Diesels
A match made in mechanical heaven
had to scrape mine cause noone would pay me even close to scrape price yeah its sad!
@Brentelec wow lol hit em hard
Brings back memories of the 70’s lots of Brockway chore trucks in my neck of the woods
boy u got that right my brother! 👍
"It Sounds as good as it looks" Great video. Love these old trucks!!! Thanks for shareing this!!! Keep safe and well. Cheers Grant : )
DETROIT: you'll go deaf, but you'll be a badass while you do it.
Bose headsets.
My 1973 r700 Mac had a V8 Detroit in it the whole neighborhood knew I was coming one minute before I even arrived !
My grandfather had a trucking company, and had all Detroit Diesels. His terminal was in a location where houses grew up around it. We lived 2 houses down. I still remember hearing that sound as all the trucks came back every late afternoon.
Slam the door on your thumb, get mad & float them gears.
Truth of the matter is to get the Best sound out of a 8V71 natural aspiration you need mufflers like twin Riker's. You get the sound from the exhaust and can hear the wine of the motor to make the Best Detroit symphony ever. Nice video, Beautiful Brockway
What a real truck sounds like
That’s sounds identical to the goblin truck on maximum overdrive. Pretty cool.🚚🚚
Yes sir, the Detroit 2 stroke has been overlayed on many movie trucks, it was used in Convoy, maximum overdrive and others
Hope to be able to drive one of those 2 stroke Detroit's one day like 12v71. Can't get over the sound
I used to break down and hook up our 40 ton shertzer detachable when I was 12 my old man taught me and the first thing he said and I"m 61 now is, whenever you hook this or unhook it stand on the lowbed if it drops it doesn"t cut your foot off, I suggest you do the same.
yeah, I noticed him sticking his foot under it for moment there. Made me cringe.

Pure class. Good job guys. Wish I was part of the process.
That's one bad ass truck!!!!!!

That’s about as long as the superliners hood mack stole the designs from them lol
A Brockway on a low boy, hopefully on its way to a good home, to be loved and appreciated. Great video!!!!!!
Pretty cool old trucks.
"Roll Truck Roll" that's a sweet truck! Keep her sweet and singing that black coal! Epic Truck...The Brockway. One of a kind!
That sound always reminds me of Greyhound busses and fire trucks.
Great video! Love the oldies still purring 👍
Boy thats a really nice rig u got there bro... m first ride in a truck was a 69 brockway tow truck. Been in luv with trucks sence, hey can u post a pic of the one u just pick up when yur done with it please. Thanks for the video takes me back to the good old days.👍👍

Right on!
What a sound. Thanks
I LOVE THE OLD SCHOOL DETROIT
Shoutout from TAT Express out of Hutchins, TX
Nothing better than a Detroit in a Brockway. Drove a couple tri-axle dumps for this guy,, We had around 25 Brockways, most were Detroits with a couple 425 Cats in the trailer dumps.
Loved those high cab Brocks. that one probably was a 318
I use to deliver corrugated boxes to this wharehouse up in Cortland NY, in the late 90's Turnrd out to be the old Brockway factory.
@@donaldbartram6315 they still do a yearly gathering
I know,, when I lived in Ct I always wanted to go but never made it.. Now I'm in Fl. probably never will.
Nothing like a V-8 Detroit but you need to wind it to the top of the governor and ear plugs are mandatory if you’re running straight pipes
Yep, they pair up best with a 13 speed. They don’t like being lugged down below 1700. 🤣🎵❤️
The black truck is awesome, love the style
NOTHING sounds as good as Detroit 2 stroke.
Rixx Roxxk Goblin Truck had a 318 V8 Detroit. They sound pretty much the same
No shit your from my neck of the woods ! Beautiful trucks thanks for sharing! 👍
Great job on the video👍🏻
Brockway, for those who enjoy the simpler things in life
the black one is a 361 and they are awesome work horses, it is such a shame that some of thesestrucks aren't being used when they have so much life left in them.
Is it a project what a find ! Your so lucky to be able to play with that stuff
My friend has one just like that black horse with a 12V71.
A Detroit in a Brockway......don't get much more 'merican than that !
put it full screen and turn up the speakers. you just don't hear that anymore.
@@patrickyoung2117 the v series Detroits are coming back??????
Truth be told, I am getting, hopped all over,
By a rabbit, dad, sitting on my hip and taking care of himself.
@@brandonplaisted8194 no, they “pollute” too much🙄 like one factory smokestack doesn’t pollute 100X that everyday all day
@@deborahchesser7375 agreed there not fast as much as dd 60 was but the two strokes make up for it with torque.
Don't roast me but I never really knew how those old flatbeds worked. But, good to see that people are saving pieces of history like I try to do. Kudos
Neat recovery rig.
Nice truck, she sounds good
Gorgeous rigs. A 361 model and a 359.
That old truck looks like something from maximum overdrive
Or mad max
Just so you know the Western Star has a 8v71.
Real "Road Warriors"
I love the sound of the old diesel truck
yep gota love the sound of the old 2 stroke detroits
I know where that place is, every time I drive by I wish I could go on the property and look around. I love all that old equipment there.
Maynard Reed I know the new owner of the blue truck, if you’re interested I could get you in touch with him and he may be able to get you in touch with the property owner
Nothing better than a 2 stoke diesel. Which the 12v71 is the king of.
Mack bought out Brockway and dissolved it. Volvo bought out Mack, and discontinued their flagship the Titan. Ironic!
That sound of the Detroit Diesel reminds me of the Green Goblin in Maximum Overdrive.
Exactly, the sound was from an 8v92
Damn I love that sound!!
There's a way the air brakes whistle on these older trucks that brings back of when I was a little boy. I wonder why they don't make that noise anymore?
modern brake chambers
Thanks for the video!
Thats a black beauty right there.
Drove a Brock in 70’s called it a brockasore ass had Hendrickson suspension,great truck.
what a site pair of detroits.brockways to. ear plugs packt in detroits sing the best music thanx 4 da view,
Regular diesels: Please keep rpm around 2500, i'm delicate.
Detroits: HIT IT.
Drive it like you’re mad at it! They like it ;)
Great video
Brockway with a Detroit Pure Americana Baby💕💕💕
I miss hearing that sound on the highways
Detroit diesel, the most efficient way to turn fuel into noise.
Now powerstroke has that title
Wow, did you just make that up? What a clever saying!
Had a 8 71 in GMC 9500 dump truck I love it
I have an 8v71 in a Bison
Detroit Diesel, música para mis oídos...
Certainly do not make them like this anymore. I saw a beautifully restored Brockway at a local gas station. You don't see many anymore.
The only thing better than an Old Brockway Tractor is ANOTHER Old Brockway Tractor.
YES YES YES BAD ASS DUDE DAMN NOTHING SOUNDS BETTER THAN A 2 STROKE DIESEL
God what nice trucks. I regularly see a Brockway working here in the Glens Falls area of NY. There's an old Autocar too that I see once in a while. Would like to find who owns them so I could get a better look
Music to the ears
Sweet, sweet, sweet!
The Green Goblin is proud
If that sound doesn’t turn you on then you’re probably a rump ranger.
Be great to actually see the trailer hydraulics close up during the lifting process!
Bab like storm in favour of the bulldog
I see where mack got the idea for the super liner though
What truck did you pull it with?
Listen to that Detroit scream
What's the motor in the recovering truck? It sounds great also!
Peter H both trucks have Detroit Diesel 8V71 in them
She is so pretty 😍
First I've ever heard of a Brockway. I thought I saw the Mack bulldog on it. Is it a Mack product?
Michael Bacon They are very closely related, (by marriage, LOL). They were separate companies, But in later years Brockway was struggling, and Mack bought them out. The Dog you see on the Brockways is a Husky. I’m pretty sure that predates the merger. But the last Brockways that were made had Mack R model cabs with the squarish Brockway hood.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brockway_Motor_Company?wprov=sfti1
nice
The trk ran wouldnt it run down the road???? Love the detroits sound if i had the money i would put a small one in a pickup
tractorboy31
I know someone who did, I will post a link.
4-53T and the 6V53 are small enough for a pickup the 4cyl displaces 1100 cu in
Красавчик!👍
Is that another brockway that’s needs saving to the left at 0:32?
NYC misses it's Detroit's.....
It’s how a truck should sound mean
I’m in the U.K. we just don’t have stuff like this
We don't have them that loud in the states anymore either. You have to be an owner operator to suit your engine up that way. But American models are still louder than European models.
For the first clip imagine your in the forest playing hide and seek and decide to hide in one of the scrap cars then this Brockway is barreling up to you at high speed 💀
“The Detroit 2-stroke is the most efficient engine for turning diesel fuel into smoke and noise.”
What’s your point?
Is that David Bestys Truck? Looks just like his
David Bowser it sure is
2 time diesel
How much do you want for it?
My god a 12v71 in fast-forward sounds like a r/c car!
What is the truck that you pull with?
Leo Osborne it is a 1973 Brockway ,they where built in Cortland NY
Should kept making these like the sound use to hear them all the time Not anymore
Is that the brockway I see parked of rt9 in Coldspring?
Tom Coppa Yes this is the truck that’s parked there
That is so cool u saw the truck setting there... and the guy got back to u and said yea! I luv cool people out there still in the world 😀
Is the blue one a 6v71?
Both truck have 8V71n in them
what kind of detroit is in it?
a 8v92? or a 12v?
djay4487 deved both those trucks have 8V71 in them
Looking for a Brockway project, any thoughts?
Jeffrey Bingham ya can’t go wrong, like real estate… They ain’t making any more of them! 😉 don’t know where you’re located, but you won’t find many west of the Mississippi best bet is Pennsylvania New York area
Mr where do you live
