BROCKWAY B666 BRIDGE
ERECTION TRUCK
This Brockway B666 (6-ton, six-wheel, six-wheel drive) is a rare survivor of the
1166 manufactured from 1942. They left the factory in chassis/cab form and
had bridge erection bodies fitted by either the US Corps of Engineers or the
body manufacturers, Heil and Daybrook. This particular truck has a Daybrook
M-IIA truck body and hydraulic crane and was delivered in May 1944.
The lifting capacity of the crane/boom was 8000lb (3632kg), every ounce
of which was needed to handle the four steel treadways and spacer bars
that were normally carried along with two deflated pontoons and associated
equipment. Virtually identical trucks were also produced by Ward
LaFrance and White from 1944 and by FWD from 1945.
