Just found this on the tractorbynet forums. The guy is from Weare NH, and says he has over 120 trucks in his families collection that they have accum. since the 70s. He also said he has been in the Double Clutch mag. This is the only Brockway i saw from the few pictures. First thing I noticed were the 2 dogs, then the very faint 3 holes in the hood under the Brockway script. It's convincing for me! :shock: It very well could be the black one shown below!

On a side note.... the 3 holes look a little too close to the bottom of the script......

I know of at least one other 761 Huskidrive. Taken at Cortland last year. Huskidrive badge looks to be in the same spot as the other two.

Jeff,
Where did you find the picture of the black one? I seem to think I saw another pic taken in what looked like the same spot that showed a whole group of 700 series Huskidrives.

Here's another 700 series Huskidrive.
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2072

And I found the black truck in a pic of the week post from a while ago. Wish I could remember where I saw that group picture, I'm almost certain it had a 700 series huskidrive or two in it.

That's the pic, and that's the same black Huskidrive. I was sure there was another one in that pic, but I guess not.

Russo's last Brockway purchase was in 1972. So the 300 series was the only trucks they had. 358's and 359's.

got some info and a pic of that truck today, the people arent keen on letting anyone in to look around, and they said the trucks will just sit there, they would sell them, but they do not want to let them go.

I was there about 2 weeks ago. Didnt have my camera. He has quite a collection, mostly Macks. I counted 3 Brockways, the 761 and 2 154s. He is a real nice guy, let us look around for hours. You could spend a day, he has some pieces from Dick Kemps collection. You just have to wrap your head around the fact the he is a collector, just like Kemp was. He doesnt want to part with anything. The 761 might have a Huskidrive, it was his father's truck. It was restored a while ago. Cummins with a 15 speed, at some point Mack rears on camelback were added.
