General Ike Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Here's a true oddball for our Misc.Trucks thread,pretty fancy late-model Hendrickson,never seen one in person as "dolled up" as this one,no Mack,but not a bad looking truck in my opinion.............................................MarkI do , looks like an International s series cab. I've owned a couple of them. Am I close?Continental Compac fire apparatus used that cab as well. Cab was great, the conversion to fire apparatus was junk... 2 Quote Ed Smith1957 B85F 1242 "The General Ike" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCDrum Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Ex-Waretown, NJ tanker. Can't say I've even seen a restored Construcktor before. On a side note, White Bash is in New Jersey this year.The White is cool. A rare bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pulls a dump trailer and lowbed.This truck was immaculate, the driver has a lot of pride 2 Quote BryanMy Photo Albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RFCDrum Posted June 29, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2014 I have to take this out empty for a couple of runs before I put a load on this beast. Driving it around the yard a little bit. 270 Cummins, 7 speed Spicer(6 in the stick, air flipper on dash for deep reduction 1st, two positions for reverse in the box), 65 rears on six rod, Bristol Donald body.

RFCDrum Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 It's a beauty Paul they switch between the Autocar and this to keep the mileage down. Sometimes we use both if busy with deliveries. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCDrum Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Paystar in front of my driveway. Redoing the drainage and putting in curbs and sidewalks. Nice guys but a little rough on their equipment. Rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 2stacksuperdog Posted June 29, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2014 Was up in Mass today and saw this cracker box.Then was going down a street and saw these two. I hear the guy bought them new and NEVER used them. I'd love to get both to put behind our tractors. Throw Richards canvas's on them and they'd be awesome. 9 Quote Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ditchkus Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 RFCDrum Are you sure it is not a Fuller TO955ALL trans. in the Diamond Reo'S? I had them in my Autocars with 290 Cummins and Paystar 5000 with 270 Cummins. With deep reduction on dash or floor it sounds like a Fuller.If low low on stick is down to right and then over to left and up a little it is a Fuller TO955ALL. Spicer 6+1 had the high gear on stick. Either one are good off road trans., but I liked the Fuller for its very deep reduction and .65 overdrive.I had a few drivers that could not get used to putting it in low low.The ones I had you could not shift out of deep reduction moving you had to stop truck3 reverses and 3 low gears. Thanks for the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCDrum Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Well Joe I can tell you the pattern is very wonky. Straight six in the stick and the two reverse gears are over to the left and one is up and the lower reverse is over a notch to left and up again. When you think it's in neutral it's in gear. 1st is over all the way to the left and down with second to the right and down. I'm dying to drive it but it's a bear. You gotta drive it like a Mack six speed low hole with the Jake. They didn't even know what the deep reduction was for on the dash I figured that out 5 minutes in the truck moving it around the yard. I will take a pic tomorrow morning of the dash and pattern. I have to borrow the Autocar to bring a load of mulch to my own job as I had some legal issues with my International on Friday. As far as I know it's a Spicer but will know for sure tomorrow. This truck here I use to ride in as a kid had the straight seven speed Spicer with a high low reverse air valve flipper on the stick with a 270 Cummins. and Eaton top loaders.

RFCDrum Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 That is a very beefy FoMoCo.This truck was a beast. Lenny bought it from Frank and Steve Little out of Newfoundland NJ later on he bought his Superliner tandem with a Summit body on her which is still running out in Sparta nj I believe.
