Brockway was this a local builder? Or was this the chassis?[/quote]



Brockway was a builder of trucks located in Cortland NY, just south of Syracuse. There are still a bunch of Brockway fire trucks in the Central NY region, most are now in service as parade rigs.



Here's a link to the Brockway Museum's website, unfortunately most of the pages there seem to be OOS, but the history is pretty detailed.
