Nice trucks that you almost never see on the east coast.

Someone posted earlier that Hendrickson was building fire apparatus. That is partially correct; they were a big player in the fire apparatus chassis business, but as far as I know they never built the entire truck.

Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

My cousin Eddie Hodges was a broker for Elmhurst Chicago Stone Co.. As a kid, he had BD model Hendrickson's both diesel and gas jobs back in the 1960's. Then in the 1970's, he had the H models with the 190 Cummis with the 5 and 4 transmissions. They also had the H models with 6x6 conversions, that sat up higher than a normal 6x6. Meyer material, as well as John Aue Trucking, also had Hendrickson mixers. Mohr Redi Mix out of Oak Park still runs a couple of 1960 BD's hauling concrete .My cousin also had a couple of Hendrickson Bd's pulling semi dumps. I learned how to drive truck on the H models, going with My dad.
