Looking for help finding information for my Brockway

[bbsfdl60]

I am looking for any information that might be out there on a 1929 Brockway Fire Truck from Jundale Pa Vol. Fire dept. I am unable to find any original photos of this piece. I am certain that the wind shield is not original . I would like to bring it as close to the day it rolled off the floor as possible., if anyone can help I would be grateful

There is a 1925 Brockway Fire Truck in the Museum in Cortland, NY.

Windshield may be original to Fire Body though. Surely we can come up with some pictures. Do you have serial numbers?

Cool truck! Its in great shape for being that vintage.

That must be a LaFrance number if you have it correct. One of our number will know.

that is on the Brockway plate on the firewall of the engine compartment..are there any other places I should look?

That sound to be the correct model and serial number. Mine is a 1932 model 92 serial 5147. Your truck seems to be a Brockway-Indiana as mine, The windshield might be correct, but those signal light are not. And are those sealed beams? If so, not correct either. But still a beautiful truck.

What are sealed beams, and the two small warning lights must have been put on shortly after, very old wiring. All this time I thought the windshield was an add on . but I have a call into the preservation assoc. hopefully between the members here and the assoc. I might get a glimpse as to what it looked like off the line.

Sealed beams are the type of headlamps. On my truck, behind the headlights glass is a little light bulb while on yours the headlights looks like one unit. On the winshield, might be a fire department add on, because I'm remembering now my truck has Murphy fasteners around the dash and the seat as to fit like canvas cover, and the windshield would in the way to fasten them up. Here is a link for the fasteners, http://www.modeltford.com/item/MUR2.aspx. Who is the builder of your fire engine body? Mine was Buffalo Fire Appliances.

I dont know , still looking for information..

Talked to the Mack Museum.... the gentleman explained that Brockway did not build fire trucks... they built the chassis and sent it to a fire truck builder.. is there anyplace on the truck that would tell me who the maker is?

It might even be possible that the body was fabricated by the fire company, if not then you might have to do some searching over the entire truck to find a tag or something that says who made it.

Usually the body builder's name is on the pump control panel that tells how many gallons per minute at what engine speed.
