Whiskymack Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I came across this on the internet. Does anyone know about this one? It looks like it has a few extra inches in the hood when compared with a standard 700 model. I know that the Detroit Dozen 771 models had to be stretched a bit to get the motor to fit but I thought they used the standard hood with the slack taken up by an extension to the cowl. Is this a factory hood or has someone else made this hood? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAD DOG Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Don't know if it's a factory hood but it does look good with an extra long hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmackattack Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Looks like a standard rs700l hood to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ditchkus Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 The truck is located in the Mid Valley Industrial Park Olyphant,Penna near Scranton,Pa.. The name on door is the same as the building where it is parked. Dempsey Industrial Laundry. It is a large operation. I did not see it parked outside in awhile. Joe D.

Maddog13407 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 yea someone knew what they were up to painting that one black with the cow catcher on the front... kinda odd to have such a specific truck at an Industrial Laundry facility. and I thought Dan Bruno sold off one of his and it went to Canada??

Chuck P Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Maybe it's an illusion but that does look long to me.Could be combination of the short-fender with battery box as opposed to the Western "step" makes it look longer.

This looks much longer than on the standard RS700 hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
convoyduel Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 That's a standard RS/RL7 hood on a later eastern model chassis with a sleeper from a Western Star. Yes, one of the originals was sold to a pair of collectors in eastern Canada. We still have the other. All/any others are just fan replicas.

It is modeled after the truck from Convoy. It is owned by Dempsey Uniform and Linen Supply in Jessup, Pennsylvania. It is commonly used in the Scranton St. Patrick's Day Parade.
