Popular Post 57 bcr Posted January 21, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2013 OK guys,heres for the Hendrickson lovers out there.These won't be just Chicago Hendricksons (although they were built just outside, in Lyons),but Hendricksons in general. We're going to start off with a '48 Hendrickson that used the old K-model IH cab. This one was the pride and joy of the late Gene "Buck" Buchanan whom we just lost a week ago today.This was an old Crystal Lake Trucking truck.I believe it has a 175 or 180hp CUMMINS in it.Originally a 5 X 3,the auxillary was missing when he got it,so it was just a straight 5 speed.The truck was sold to Dan Pegram of Lincoln,Il.,who now carries the torch as "Mr. Hendrickson" in the antique truck world.Dan has the largest collection of restored Hendricksons,I know of. 4 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

james j neiweem Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I remember those Crystal Lake and Dundee Hendrickson tandem tractor dumps from the early 60's. I never took a liking to them because there were so many Celli Macks around.I did like the black and yellow Dundee colors. Two of the sharpest dump tractors I ever saw from that time were a red and black Diamond-T 921RB and a red and black Mack B-61for OK trucking. I think they must have been brand new at the time. Later on OK was a freight company using Mack F's and Louiville fords as I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work with 1 of the nephews from Crystal Lake.He doesn't talk too much about the "good old days"!. I didn't notice much more than the MACK's either,growing up! Do you remember Sunrise from Crystal Lake at all,or Terra Cotta? Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

james j neiweem Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 BCR All of the Crystal Lake Hendricksons that I saw as a kid were red tractors with huge red trailers.The trailers sat higher than the Dundee trailers. Maybee the Crystal Lake tractors were more heavily speced or had taller rubber. All were Cummins power except for one Harnishfegger. There was another company in the area that had dundee colors but were B-61 macks. I notice that there still is a Dundee sand and gravel up in Wisconsin.

yarnall Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Great thread. Definitely not something you would se in Pennsylvania. The green one with the sleeper is really neat. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee S & G is related.Meyer bought the old Dundee S & G in the '70's.Great thread. Definitely not something you would se in Pennsylvania. The green one with the sleeper is really neat. MikeGlad you like 'em,Mike. They were second only to MACK in Chicago & the midwest area for years.They were definetly a custom-built truck.If you could dream it,they would build it.They had a service department that unmatched (from what I was told by oldtimers).There was the service manager,Oscar,they say was there to make sure your truck (no matter the make) was modified to your liking.You could watch your truck being built on the assembly line,too.

Popular Post yarnall Posted January 23, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2013 These are the only Hendrickson pictures I have. They are from the ATHS show in South Bend in 2011. I didn't write down any information, but I think they were all owned by the same guy. This is the only cabover Hendrickson I have ever seen.

MikeATHS Convention 2011 South Bend IN 075.JPGATHS Convention 2011 South Bend IN 076.JPGYou're right,Mike,all the Hendricksons in your pictures are owned by Dan Pegram.The cabover was resurrected by Buck Buchanan then later sold to Dan.As I stated in the first post,Dan recentley added Buck's '48 to his collection too.The cabover was extremely rare.That model used Peterbilt doors on it! The first generation Hendrickson cabovers used a modified IH CO-190-220 cab(originally a Diamond T cab)! 1 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

Milaca Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 h3_hendrickson_h1.jpg Here's one of their factory trucks.It appears that they used an International Fleetstar cab at this time, also used on IH pickups from 1969 to 1975. I would guess that Hendrickson would have began using the IH S-series/F-series cab in 1978 or 1979. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarnall Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Wow. Never saw anything like that before. That is the Emeryville cab: IH rdf405 I believe, on those 2 cabover above. I figured you knew who owned the trucks in my pictures. Apparently I have seen a flip hood Hendrickson since there is one in the picture.
