57 bcr Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Those light blue trucks.are two different trucks. The Hendrickson would have a butterfly hood and a R model International style hood. The second truck has a flip hood and Fleetstar style cab.MikeSorry,Mike.Same truck! '71 H-Model Hendrickson.It does have the Fleetstar Cab.Earlier models did have the R series International (Comfo-Vision) cab on them.In '71 Hendrickson was building both styles.

Green Dash Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Mark.Yes, that is a '71 H-model Hendrickson with a 318DD/13 speed in it.Sorry folks,NOT the R model of the day!That truck is cat powered, I can see it from here. The dual stacks look good behind the Fleetstar cab. I couldn't tell you which months but Hendrickson's have won the TOTM or Runner-up honors a few times in Overdrive. They were all based in the Great Lakes region. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/12/#findComment-158705 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakebrake86 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 As rare as they are, their were two Hendricksons in my little corner of Arkansas. Both were dumps, both were 671 powered with ten speed roadrangers, and both had Fleetstar cabs. I believe they both had the flip over hoods, and the fenders stayed down if I remember correctly. My cousin owned one of them. It had a six foot canadian spread hendrickson bogie and a 17' aluminum bed. He beat the bed off of it in the mid 90's and scrapped it. The other one belonged to a local guy that hauled asphalt. He passed away some years ago, and the truck changed hands several times, ending up at the scrap dealer in town, but they were using it to move stuff around the yard as of a few months ago..

yarnall Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I've never seen one like that. They are very rare in Pa. There were 4 or 5 at the aths show in South Bend but all were R model International cars except.for a cabover. I had never seen a cabover Hendrickson before that. I'll have to dig up the pictures. Maybe you should start a New thread though. Thanks.
