David Flynn sent us this photo of his very nifty 1976 Brockway 761L 5-7 yard dump truck. The Forest Green with black fenders paint combination was typical Brockway, especially for Upstate New York villages. Red, cast six-spoke rims were somewhat common, and David notes he like them better than if he had painted them green. The cab is from an Alloy Forms Mack DM800. The fenders, plow hoist, and body are scratchbuilt from sheet plastic. The frame, wheels, and plow lights are from Wiking. The brass grille is from a tandem steel wheel roller. David built the model around 1992.
