    I was in Bear Creek AL delivering a load of scarp copper. The fourth plane was still in the air and everybody was worried about it heading for the nuclear power generating plants on the Tennessee river near Florence AL.

    Back in the 70's the man I worked for had a 2 gear dohicky that we hung on the wheel to increase the torque by hand. I have also used the cheater pipe and jumped up and down on it!!!

    Looking great!!!! Are you putting the bull bar back on the front??? Do you hang plastic sheets up or pull it outside to paint to keep the over spray out of the garage????

    I think what you have is a slow oil return from the overhead??? Try pulling the valve covers and make sure the oil return holes are not clogged with sludge..

    You are right!!! I see the other booms up in the trees now.. I was only looking at the one behind the Ford..

    Blackdog, That looks like an interesting Yard!! I see a 57 to 60 big Ford and a crane behind the mixer..

    You MIGHT be small enough to fit in it???? At 6'4" and 240 I have to put my foot on the clutch before I shut the door!!!

    Actually the Diamond T name came from Charles Tilt's father who owned a shoe factory. The diamond stood for quality and the T for the name Tilt.

    Your $90 was a lot better than my$9000+ as my 26 year old compressor died.. Parts unobtainable!! Plus refrigerant 3 generations old.. Thank you EPA!!!

    Just got an email back from Jeff.. He does not recognize the truck.. But it is entirely possible that it is a NASA vehicle.. He said he did not spend much time in Houston because he was mainly at Kennedy Space Center and Edwards AFB.

    YES!! Tom Warren and his son Bub of Amarillo TX did the 3 year frame off restoration. Finished in 2009. It now has some scratches, especially in the bed as being the chapter show coordinator it gets loaded with tables, chairs, tent, and misc handouts so I do not have to drag the out of my trailer.

    Geoff, You are entirely correct, Up until White bought them out!!! Diamond T had the Murty Bros design the low cab forward tilt cab city tractor and International liked it so much they bought the rights to it from DT. But then had DT do a "Two Story Falcon" job on it and it became the Emeryville.. Here is a picture of the prototype with Diamond T badges taken at the Diamond T plant.. The glass brick windows are the same as in many DT factory and sales information.

    Found them!!! Thanks..

    I get the same question at shows with my 1949 Diamond T 201 pick up.. Who made Diamond T??? Thus a long history lesson of how Charles Tilt started in 1905 up thru White's merger of DT and REO in 1967. A few have heard of Diamond REOs so that helps.

    The late Leroy Gurganus, a Diamond T historian, from Jasper AL told me it was Chicago Cab, or a very similar name, who stamped all the cab parts. He did NOT say if IH assembled their own?? But Diamond T did assemble their own stamped pieces. Thus the DT and IH cabs are not totally interchangeable due to different cab mounts. I does not surprise me that Chicago cab did assemble the cabs used on Dart, Hendrickson, and the many others who used it.

    I was born in 1945, in 1948 my mother was elected the township clerk with her office in the corner of our living room. The highway super was in and out all the time. By 1950 I was the "Mascot" for the highway dept. Always riding in their trucks and later operating them. From there on my life was always in the trucking industry.

    Did I miss something?? I see no pictures??? With some pictures of the brackets and switch boxes Colt mentions above maybe Jeff can help identify it use???
  24. Brocky
    Yes!! The name Super Duty replaced Big Job in 1958 to the new line of engines 401,477, and 534 designed for truck use..

    For the last picture Geoff posted you can pop off the rubber cover, and with NO AIR PRESSURE in the system, Pop out the snap ring behind the rubber cover and pull the plunger and spring out. Then clean all the parts and barrel good with WD=40 or similar. I have done this along side the road to get back under motion!!!!!
