Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
That is an odd configuration on that Hino with dual steer axles and single rear. The driver must out weigh the cargo :lol:
I have that Dodge picture somewhere. What the heck is that thing mixing and where does it need to go?? I doubt it's concrete because the mixer looks standard size to me, so not hauling any more weight than your every day mixers. Might have to do with the terrain it's used on. Very interesting anyway. It appears to have a Detroit V series by the dual stacks |

Heck yes. It's 7:46am, let's get started! :alky:
That streamline era brought about some wild beer trucks. They knew the value a truck played in brand recognition and advertising. A far cry from the mass of white rigs on the road today. Although beer trucks are one place you still see a good paint scheme all lettered up. I think this Diamond T is a beautiful truck. |
Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
That Diamond T is a gem. My Grandfather worked for Diamond T back in the 50s. It was in the mailroom. But it still was probably a cool job. :mm:

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
One more post with a Diamond T in it...:flagw:

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Here is a 1938 Seagrave on display in Nebraska City, NE. A very cool truck, I love the Spaceship siren on the drivers side.

My best friend in elementary school's (early-60s) dad was an excavating contractor. He pulled the low-boy with a Diamond-T COE. I remember he would have us go out, climb up to bleed the air out of the brakes in the evening. That truck is where I first heard the name and thought it was such a cool name.
Old fire apparatus is cool stuff. Talk about a custom truck. They are it! |
Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Interesting truck.
Sure is a different place for an Air Cleaner. |

A close up, I think the space ship is just a light, with siren below. They have a very nice FD museum there, open by chance, or Appt. Greg |

Looks like a buzz bomb.
Yeah Bill, strange. That truck is custom in many ways. How about the tandem singles? Nudder piktur. How about an experimental KW? |

I can't find anything wrong with it. If that truck was a meal it would be gourmet... or is it the best dang BBQ you ever had from a roadside stand? :cool:

The truck in the picture where I replied to the previous post is a Western Star. I believe it is Post White era, just a Western Star. I was diggin' on those White Western Stars back in the day they used the old White cab and were hand-built.
I find this International interesting Attachment 1751270 And, here is one hell of a custom-built Diamond T |

A West Coast Mack...cool!. I've warmed up to the R models more recently. When they were everywhere I could care less about them. I mean I like all trucks, but they were nothing special to me. I lve the dump bodies out that way. Low slung and long. 10x sexier than our big buckets. I want one. This West coast dump was at our Tr-State show last fall. Love it! Patina and all. Wouldn't change a thing on this old veteran! Appears to have been outfitted to work till not so long agao. Either that or this guy fixed himself up a hot rod lookin' truck
That big Diamond T belongs to the Keystone Truck & Tractor museum in Colonial Heights, VA. I want to get there soon. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=..._5YTX9DtxdeWeG |

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
I'm curious about your trailer bow haul too. How about the way the logs are chained. Is that common?

I've hauled a few wild loads in my time, but check this out for a wild road. I found this the other night:
