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
![]() 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

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Cool little yard engine. I wonder how much weight they have on that thing. Lots I'm sure

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Heck yes. It's 7:46am, let's get started!
![]() 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.

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.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
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
![]() 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

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
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?
