great video, I always loved brockways over macks, that's why I thought mack bought them out and put them out of business, also love my diamond reos, dodges, gmc, Chevy, Ford ,s etc, keep up the great work sir
what a moose. the big rubber/chicago wobblers really make the rig. sure hope to see one of these trucks in person some day! awesome collection of east coast gear man
Rich, between each rocker box and head there is a threaded hole going into the intake passage. This must be plugged when installing a turbo. Also check that the oil return for the turbo is open and draining above the level in the pan. They used to call that a smoke kit when adding a turbo to the 220 and I believe it made it a 262 hp.
Looks like she had been hauling Precast for USI before you got her. Pretty sweet 260 Brockway and I like that tight triple frame. Looks like they moved from Hatfield to Whatley,MA. Definitely a sweet rig
It didn't necessarily mean wedge brake. The king pin pivoted in the axle instead of the spindle. So if it wore into anything, it would be the axle itself. Not the greatest idea. I have my brockway 258 video that shows it.
If they just added a turbo and juiced up the pump, it also would have to have two small pipe plugs screwed into the head near the mounting surface of the rocker covers(all three heads) Non aspirated engines(Cummins) didn't require them. (they used to put them in the little envelopes that came with the injector fuel line plugs when you got Cummins Recon heads). Hopes this helps you, Bill
