  2. Was at a repair shop the other day and was told that another shop in the Chicagoland area, will be selling/servicing the NEW Diamond T Trucks.I've seen an attempt at this in the late 90's.I've only seen a couple of these in the Truck Paper.I don't know if its a rumor or what. This one used an S-series IH cab. I guess we'll have to wait and see.Good luck in this economic and regulation(EPA) laden climate, Diamond T.Hope you make it.(If its true)! :thumb:

    THEY ARE IN PA, CALLED T- LINE,BY DIAMOND HEAVY VEHICLE SOLUTIONS LLC SINCE 1996

    I HAVE TALKED TO THEM ABOUT TAKING THE LINE ON, I JUST DO NOT LIKE THE INT CAB. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE BUILT A DIFFERENT CAB BUT WILL FIRST USE ALL STOCK CABS IN INVENTORY.

  3. I've be working on my B model for a few months now, working on the barre frame. The truck was originally a Mobile Oil tank truck with a tag axle, it was then sold to a wrecker company where 15" of the frame was cut and the truck was converted to a single axle wrecker, the wrecker body was then removed and the truck was used to pull trailers for the towing company. With all the different uses of the truck I now have many extra mounting holes in the frame rails. I would like to weld up the holes using a high tensile rod but am concerned with the heat actually weakening the frame. I have heard some say never to weld on a frame, while some have welded on frames for years. If the trucks used a mild steel frame I should be alright to weld on it ,but if the frame was heat treated the frame could be weakened by welding right? Any advice. Thanks

    WE CHANGE WHEELBASE SPECS ALL THE TIME AND WE NEVER WELD HOLES, WE FILL VACANT HOLES WITH CORRECT SIZE BOLT. BOLT TIME 2 MINUTES, WELD AND GRIND TIME ABOUT 15 MINUTES PER HOLE. YOU WILL WEAKEN THE FRAME DUE TO HEAT, WELDING AFTER FRAME AND SPLICE IS OKAY BY NTEA, BUT MUST BE DONE CORRECTLY.
