57 bcr Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 is the cab like the old McCormick aka International ??Yes,the IH Comfo-Vision cab was used on everything from FWD's to Oshkosh's,Sicards,Clines,Diamond T's,you name it.There was a few variations,and they were not all just a bolt on replacement,as floor boards,cab back panels,door handles,vents,were different in some makes use of the cab.The years they were produced also shows the differences.That cab started in the early '50's on the IH L-series and went as late as '72 on the IH M-series.

57 bcr Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 I have a couple of the Higgins Hendricksons too... I was told by someone who called Higgins,that the newer Hendrickson was sold to George Young and painted black.So the last 2 pictures are actually the same truck. 1 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

57 bcr Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Ken,I have a picture somewhere of Hendrickson with a set-forward front axle (rare as the cabover).It kinda looks like a IH "Westcoaster",I'll have to dig that one up.Yes,they must have invented the set-back,or at least was the biggest user of the concept.

Milaca Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Nice pics of the Hendricksons everyone! Looks like they were one of the first with a "set back" front axle.Not so much a "set back" front axle but rather a "set forward grill"! These remind me of the International Harvester 2+2 articulating farm tractors from about 1978 to 1984. Lots of front overhang.

57 bcr Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 This one (which I had a shot of on the first page),is parked right next to my storage trailers.It has a non running 6-71,and a 10 speed in it.The cab is rotted really bad,but the damn doors shut like a new one! (go figure).Mirrors have thieved off of it(no biggie,same a R-series IH).Otherwise complete. The last year I remember seeing this truck on the road was 1986.That was the year I got out of the ARMY,and started hauling for Meyer Material Co. with my own truck.This truck was originally a Glen Meyer truck out of Palatine,Ill. 1 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!
