Welcome to the Largest
Brockway Information Site! |

Welcome to the Antique Brockway Fire Truck
Restoration Website. The following site contains restoration
information, and Brockway Truck History. Our Brockway featured all
over this website is a piece of Franklinville history. Fortunately,
we pulled it out of the woods before if rotted away totally. Here
you will find a few more details about the truck including pictures,
resources, history and more!
This truck was purchased used by the
Franklinville Fire Company in Gloucester County, NJ in 1944 and was
decommissioned in the 1950's.
