Brockway Truck Models
A complete reference guide to every Brockway truck model — from the original 1912 Cortland-built trucks through the iconic Huskie, Huskiteer, and 700 Series. Hand-built in New York, Mack division 1956–1977. Overdrive Magazine’s “Most Rugged Truck in the World.” Production dates, specifications, and history for every Brockway we buy.
Brockway Motor Company built custom heavy-duty trucks in Cortland, New York from 1912 to 1977 — 65 years of hand-built American trucks. Founded by George Brockway in a town with carriage-building roots going back to 1851, Brockway became a Mack Trucks division in 1956 and was named “The Most Rugged Truck in the World” by Overdrive Magazine in 1968. The iconic Huskie mascot — a chrome sled dog atop the radiator — made Brockway one of the most recognizable and beloved truck brands in American history. Mack closed the Brockway plant in June 1977.
We buy every Brockway truck — Huskie, Huskiteer, 700 Series, and all earlier models. These are collector vehicles and we purchase all examples in any condition regardless of completeness or running status, all 50 states.
Huskie Era — 1958 to 1970
Classic / CollectorThe Brockway Huskie — the most iconic Brockway truck. Introduced 1958, instantly recognizable by the chrome sled dog mascot. All purchased.
Brockway Huskie — Standard Models
The Brockway Huskie was introduced in late 1957 for the 1958 model year — a completely new truck line featuring the chrome Huskie sled dog mascot atop the radiator that became the defining symbol of the Brockway brand. The Huskie name was a natural choice — Mack Trucks had the famous Bulldog, and Brockway created its own dog in response. Three years after introduction, the chrome Huskie was switched to a golden version in honor of Brockway’s 50th anniversary in 1962. Huskie trucks were hand-built to customer specification with the buyer’s choice of Cummins, Detroit Diesel, or Caterpillar engines paired with Spicer or Fuller transmissions and Rockwell or Eaton differentials. The butterfly hood design gave each side independent lift for exceptional engine access. Overdrive Magazine declared the Brockway “The Most Rugged Truck in the World” in May 1968 — a title the brand wore proudly.
Brockway Huskie with Huskidrive
Brockway Huskies equipped with the Huskidrive option — a tag axle or pusher axle configuration for additional weight-carrying capacity — were identifiable by a unique distinguishing feature: dual Huskie dog mascots mounted atop the grille rather than the standard single mascot. The dual Huskie configuration is one of the most recognizable and sought-after variants for Brockway collectors — a truck that literally wears its capability on its face. Huskidrive trucks were popular for heavy hauling, logging, and construction applications requiring maximum payload within legal axle weight limits. We purchase all Huskidrive-equipped trucks in any condition.
Golden Huskie — 50th Anniversary
In 1962 — marking the 50th anniversary of Brockway Motor Truck Company’s incorporation — Brockway switched the chrome Huskie mascot to a golden version as a commemorative change. The golden Huskie became the standard from that point forward, replacing the original chrome version on all new Brockway trucks. Trucks produced during the 1958–1962 transition with the original chrome Huskie are particularly prized by collectors. Both chrome and golden Huskie examples are actively sought by the Brockway enthusiast community. We purchase all anniversary-era Brockways in any condition.
700 Series — 1974 to 1977
Final GenerationBrockway’s last and most modern truck line — introduced 1974, produced until the plant’s closure in 1977. All purchased.
Brockway 700 Series
The Brockway 700 Series was introduced in 1974 as Brockway’s all-new final generation — replacing the earlier Huskie models with a more modern design. The 700 Series was available with the traditional Brockway butterfly hood (where each side lifts independently for engine access) as standard, with a fiberglass tilt hood available as an option — a significant modernization for the era. The Mack RS cab was used on some 700 Series configurations. Cummins, Detroit Diesel, and Caterpillar engine options continued. Fuller and Spicer transmissions paired with Rockwell and Eaton axles. The 700 Series was produced for only three years before Mack closed the Cortland plant in June 1977 — making it one of the shortest-production and rarest Brockway generations. Any surviving 700 Series is a significant find. Model designations include configurations such as the F761TL — as immortalized by a stunning orange 1975 F761TL powered by a 475 HP 8V92 Detroit Diesel that represented the pinnacle of what Brockway could build.
Huskiteer 500 Series — Cab Forward
1971–1977Brockway’s low-profile cab-forward refuse and urban vocational truck. All purchased.
Brockway Huskiteer 500 Series
The Brockway Huskiteer 500 Series debuted in 1971 as a low-profile cab-forward design specifically intended for refuse collection in tight urban environments — inner-city streets, narrow alleys, and confined residential areas where the full-size Huskie conventional was too large. The Huskiteer’s low cab-forward configuration provided exceptional maneuverability and driver visibility for stop-and-go refuse operations. Engine choices included Cummins and Detroit Diesel options from 185 HP to 270 HP. The Huskiteer was produced from 1971 until Brockway’s closure in 1977 — a six-year run that left relatively few units in existence. Any surviving Huskiteer is a rare and historically significant vocational truck. We purchase all Huskiteer examples in any condition.
Early Brockway & WWII Military
Vintage / MilitaryBrockway trucks from the founding era through World War II. Exceptional rarity and historical significance. All purchased.
Early Brockway Commercial Trucks
Brockway Motor Truck Company was incorporated in 1912 — the first true Brockway trucks appearing that same year with Renault-style hoods in three models from half-ton to 1¾-ton capacity. By 1914 more conventionally styled trucks appeared using four-cylinder Continental engines. Worm drive replaced chain drive from 1915 onward. During WWI (1917–1918), Brockway’s entire production was devoted to the military effort — building 587 Class B Liberty Trucks. Postwar Brockway produced a new range from 1-ton to 5-ton capacity. Through the 1930s and into WWII, Brockway built a full range of commercial trucks for delivery, freight, construction, and heavy hauling applications. Any surviving pre-war Brockway is of exceptional collector and historical value.
Brockway C-666 — WWII Military
During World War II, Brockway produced the C-666 series military trucks for the U.S. Army — heavy-duty trucks built to military specification for transport, logistics, and support operations. Brockway also landed a U.S. Navy heavy truck contract in 1962 during the postwar era. Like other American truck manufacturers of the era, Brockway’s entire production capacity was redirected to military needs during the war years. In 1955, Brockway added diesel vehicles to its commercial lineup for the first time. Any surviving Brockway C-666 WWII military truck is of extraordinary historical and collector significance. We purchase all examples in any condition.
Postwar Brockway — Pre-Huskie Era
After World War II, Brockway produced single and dual axle tractors and heavy-duty triaxle dump trucks across a broad range of models — twenty basic models were available in the 1950s covering a wide range of commercial applications. These postwar Brockways were built in Cortland before Mack’s 1956 acquisition and represent the company at its independent peak. In 1955 diesel engines were added to the lineup for the first time, joining the existing gasoline-powered models. The Hercules HXD 855 cubic inch inline-six gasoline engine — producing 202 HP at 2,150 RPM — was among the notable power options. Postwar pre-Huskie Brockways are uncommon survivors and actively sought by collectors. We purchase all in any condition.
About Brockway Motor Company
Brockway’s roots go back to 1851 when William Brockway began building carriages in Homer, New York. His son George took the business into the motorized era — first producing highwheeler trucks around 1910 before incorporating the Brockway Motor Truck Company in 1912 and moving production to nearby Cortland, New York, where it would remain for the company’s entire life. The first true Brockway trucks of 1912 were distinguished by Renault-style hoods and offered in three capacities. Through World War I, the Great Depression, World War II, and the postwar boom, Brockway built its reputation on quality hand-built trucks made to customer specification.
In August 1956 Mack Trucks purchased Brockway, making it an autonomous division. Brockway continued to operate independently under Mack’s ownership — building its own distinct trucks rather than being absorbed into Mack’s lineup. The 1958 Huskie launch marked the beginning of Brockway’s most celebrated era. Through the 1960s and into the early 1970s the company thrived. The energy crisis, economic difficulties, growing government mandates, and labor disputes ultimately brought production to an end. Mack attempted to sell the Brockway division but the deal collapsed at the last minute, and Mack closed the Cortland plant in June 1977 after 65 years of truck production.
The Huskie Mascot
No detail of Brockway history is more beloved than the Huskie mascot — a sled dog in harness mounted atop the radiator of every Brockway truck from 1958 onward. Mack Trucks had the famous Bulldog; Brockway needed its own dog. The Huskie was a natural choice for a truck brand built on strength, endurance, and the ability to pull heavy loads in tough conditions. The original chrome Huskie was replaced by a golden version in 1962 for the brand’s 50th anniversary. Trucks equipped with the Huskidrive tag axle option carried two Huskies on the grille — one of the most immediately recognizable visual identifiers in American truck history. Brockway Huskie mascots are among the most sought-after original truck emblems in the collector community.
Brockway in Popular Culture
Brockway achieved an unusual moment of popular culture recognition through the 1978 film “Convoy” — based on the C.W. McCall song. A Brockway truck appears in the film, ultimately flipped on its side after an encounter with the law. The film’s hero “Rubber Duck” drives a Mack RS700, and the Brockway’s fate in the scene was noted by Brockway enthusiasts as an inadvertent illustration of the company’s recent closure — the Brockway literally laid low while the Mack carried on. The scene has become a touchstone in Brockway collector lore.
Brockway Specifications — Custom Built
