I present to you all two more truck models I have, a Brockway 758 rear loader
garbage truck and a Brockway 758 tractor truck. But before I tell you about the
models themselves I will first talk about Brockway 700 series trucks. Brockway
introduced the 700 series in 1975 with models: 758, 759, 760, 761, 762 and 776.
The most notable thing about these trucks are the Mack styled cab (Mack bought
Brockway in 1956) which gave the trucks a strikingly similar appearance to a
R model Mack and I think because of that these trucks were under appreciated
even though they were still good looking trucks. I've always had a special
place in my heart for Brockways and always will. But anyways Brockway was dissolved
by Mack trucks in 1977 because of worker strikes so not many 700 series Brockways
were built. Now for the part you all have been waiting for... I will talk about
the Lego Brockways. The garbage truck has a working winch for dumpsters a working
compactor and a working ejector, the design of the compactor is not mine I got
inspiration from a Lego garbage truck on YouTube. And the tractor truck is a
short wheelbase truck with a roof mounted air conditioner. There's nothing
really special about these trucks but I figured someone might think there cool.
Thank you for reading!

In case any of you are curious about the Mack R model cab and the Brockway 700
series cab, I have attached some brochure photos.
