Hendrickson 44000 lab suspension was tough and one of the roughest riding suspensions in the industry
Our family trucking business had 2.
The 69, R model cab and removable hood side panels, regularly ran Elk Grove Village to Texas.
It drew alot of attention about anywhere it stopped past St Louis.
My Dad Was A Main Foreman At CTC CTTC Bihlman Indiana Trucking Bihlman Asphalt Paving. Mr Ralph Bihlman Was A Owner At Hendrickson. And Also My Grandpa Worked For Brown Bulk Michigan City Indiana And Drove A Hendrickson When Leonard Brown First Started
If you saw Ralph Bihlman waling around the yard at Calumet Trucking, you would think he was just one of the drivers or maybe a mechanic. I drove for them in the early 70s, you would never guess that Ralph was the 6th richest man in Indiana at the time.
My families company had 2 of these great tractors. The first on was a 1957 single axel that we had a air tag put on it. She lasted a million and a half miles on one rebuild. Our second one was a 1972 with 270 cummings ans a 13 speed fuller trans. It was a bare bone wit the siesta seat and air ride seat. When we sold her she had over 700,00on the speedo. in 1991. The company we sold her to ran her for years. Through out all that time we had 1 driver doing the driving. He worked for the company for 34 yrs and retiried at the age of 81 yrs old. What a great man !!
Man can't believe I forgot about this series. Glad to see all the new videos on it, I know what I'm doing for the next hour.
My dad had a 62’ long nose 220 Cummins 5 speed 4 speed auxiliary “20 speed” red with an 8 ft hood for a small 220; they look like the love child of an Autocar & an International.
Jacks chrome shop thank you thank you thank you I like Hendricksons in my career I never got to operate one I have driven on many of their suspensions when I was young I rode with my Dad a lot his employer had 6 new Hendricksons in 1975 with Cat engines
I drove for a guy back in the late 80s who owned a circus from Kentucky he had 4 Hendrickson trucks all were 290 cummins and 10spds the one that was turned up pulled his elephant trailer it had a brass elephant on the hood. I had fun learned lot those were some good ole trucks
Hendrickson's 'mutually beneficial' contract with International for the walking beam suspension was certainly not beneficial to the drivers of the truck. Rough
My dad drove them in the 50s and 60s in Chicago along with B model Macks. Both beautiful trucks.
I drove a lot of different Hendrickson trucks over the years. Starting at Indiana trucking in 1972 right after I got out of the army. 59 with a 220 and 5X4. Pulled flatbed and dump trailers. Went from there to Lessard bros. Dump trailers. We would go as far east as New York. They never saw Hendrickson trucks out there so every truck stop would cause a ton of folks wanting to know all about the Hendrickson. Almost all the Lessard trucks had Cat 1674 they had one with a 318.
My Dad Was A Foreman At CTC And Did Toys R Us Merrillville And Con Rail And Many Other Jobs He Had His Lassard Bros Winter Yellow Hat Forever And Is Buried With Him.. He Went To Dyer After Bihlman Then To Superior
Bettenhausen in Orland park or Tinley is still running an H model with a dump trailer, even saw the old girl pulling container freight by Amazon in Joliet. Thank you for bringing a somewhat obscure brand to light. I grew up in town with a H model pulling a lowboy for a local earthmoving company so I've always loved them
You know they were built in Lyons Illinois on 47th street after Chicago and before being manufactured by HUMME in Grand Rapids Michigan
I have seen that truck once and a while!
My uncle was Carl Hendrickson. They even had a small lake in Illinois named Tandem Lake.
Tough, but back breaking at best !
Some mighty nice rigs in this one. I've seen a few over the years. One was flat bed, one was dump truck, and last was for water well work.
Congrats on 30K! Good video.
That truck at 3:50 really stands out in a video full of cool trucks.
Good job on reaching 30k subs! This goes out to everyone at Jack's Chrome Shop
Thank you very much! :)
@@jackschromeshop8296 you're most welcome
Doing a great job with all these informative videos. Congratulations on hitting that 30k milestone!!!!
Hendricksons are THE BEST UNDERRATED TYPE OF TRUCK OUT THERE: Change my mind!
Old mack trucks were,like the b61 😁
Nobody is going to change your mind.
lol, I'll bite. Im going to have to go with Oshkosh. I operated a M984 (HEMTT wrecker) in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Those trucks will pull the gates of hell open.
Henderson walking beam is suppose to be the bee's knee's for off road type trucks I've been told. Driven a few straight trucks with it. Like it better than the Rayco type spring ride.
I love a Hendrickson suspension on a dump truck. I worked for a crane and rigging co. That had a 4 axle Hendricson Chassis with a 45 ton Pettibone hydraulic crane on it.
Drove one in the 80's and knew that cab reminded me of another truck
Yeah they used the 2070a fleet star cab after Chicago they were built in near west suburban Lyons Illinois on 47th street about a mile and a half west of Illinois 43 ( Harlem ) Avenue now they are part of Humme group Grand Rapids Michigan
When I started trucking in 87 I never got too operate one but my Dad got to drive them in his time
@@georgewilson1184 I started in 83 good times then not like now. You knew you had a good running truck when you mashed that fuel and it looked like black rope coming out of those pipes
David Yes I know I got to drive some new trucks and some real junks I rode with my dad there was a Saturday morning summer of 76 he took me with him early that day we took a air conditioner unit downtown Chicago and it was lifted via helicopter to the roof about 60 stories it went good we finished parked back at the truck yard got some food went home back to bed late afternoon my dad went to his weekend job another Hendrickson this one had a Detroit my mom dropped me off by a near by shopping center and I got to ride with him the rest of the night moving swinging meat loads from Chicago n north western R R to the New York Central R R South side Chicago my job all night checking lights tires cranking dolly legs help check door seal numbers we stoped at a hamburger place where all the drivers stop we finished about 4 AM them were the days the teacher in school asked what everyone did that was exciting over the week end Thanks for listening
@@georgewilson1184 I remember the first truck my dad let me drive L9000 Ford with a 8V92 and a 13 I was hooked from that day in i think 76 I had been practicing on Saturday while my dad worked the dock just pulling trailers in and out I guess it was good times
I like those big lollipop torn signals that Hendrickson turn signals I mean and I the 70s they were built on 47th street in west suburban Lyons Illinois she did not mention that
Congratulations on reaching 30k !!
Thanks so much, Steve! :)
I was “Like” number 666!
And Hendrickson built a HELL of a truck!
Please do GAZ, MAZ, KRAZ and URAL truck history.
Mifamilia tenia un hendriczon era muybueno motor cumins 290 caja 125 -13 eramuy bueno ayo 1973
There are some minor inaccuracies in this video (e.g., it’s pronounced “Mahg-noose”). I highly recommend the book “[H]UNDRED” for more details.
Wish I could find one of these Hendrickson rigs or an Autocar.
I remember many a truck with that suspension, was that the walking beam or was that another design
Now that you are doing some of the lesser known brands, how about Linn trucks, in business from 1916 to 1952?
What music do you guys use for the intro? its awesome
The Diesel Life by Bill Weaver :)
Genuinely curious here, not trying to sound mean. I’m wondering if it’s a local accent that makes Maddie end certain words at the end of sentences by drawing them out?
“Worm driveeen”
“Nineteen thirtieeees”
“Windshieeelds”
What locale is this from or is it just a personal thing? Anybody know?
Good ole Midwestern gal twang I guess? Lol.
Sounds Canadian to me
I always thought they were a Canadian truck
You should do HME incorporated
At the 3:10 mark-- that blue and white truck-- those were the old Chrysler Corp. colors, and paint scheme. But they always used Dodge trucks, so whats the story on this truck?????
What!!! Hendrickson made trucks?!?!
This narration is painful! But otherwise great video.
