My father drove this Provan brockway truck for $3.75 an hour in 1955 in order to save up enough money to buy his first backhoe (The backhoe cost $3,500 brand new!)

Here are my uncles Earl & Brud Allen with Brockway Salesman Jack Kellogg and their wives in front of the Brockway Factory in 1971. My mother was an Allen. Her father Ernie Allen (who I was named after) founded Allen Coal Company.

My Uncle Dave drove this 361 Brockway for Joe Perciaciolo Trucking in the 1970's.

Ernie-cool pics,i learned on same type backhoe my grandfather bought new and we used until 1988.It must be around a 58-60?ford bought out sherman backhoes around then(our was like an 800 series with heavy cast industrial front end)........Brian

A couple new photos from Edog, one of his Uncle Earl Allen next to a V12, this very tractor is among several V12's being restored. Widgie Lyons is posing next to a pretty new looking 359. I resized the third photo which is a classic, it was already posted.

Uncle Widgie's tractor was #64, here is a photo of the sister tractor #63 from Ernie's collection.
