  1. Very nice. Always cool to see trucks that have been kept in the family.
  2. I wonder what the rest of the lettering is on the shuttter guard. Maybe Shady Tree Garage or ...
  3. I went from a TRD 72 10 speed direct to a TRD 720 9 speed OD. Not sure what axle ratio the 720 came out of but the speedo was slow by about 8 MPH (verified by GPS) with my rear ratio of 4.28. I swapped the speedo gears out of the 72 and that corrected the speedo. The TRD 720 has that screwy shift pattern with 3rd and 4th at the seat and 5th at the dash. I noticed in the service manual they talk about an extra "pivot pin" in the OD transmission to make the shift pattern the same as the 10 spd direct. Maybe the shift mechanism has been changed somewhere along the line in our OD transmissions. Very cool truck by the way. I'll be anxious to hear how it drives.
  4. We have a newly built scale near the Prince William County, VA landfill just off Rt 234. Mostly the state troopers (now and then the county) pull the trucks over and bring them to the scale for weigt and inspection. They are equal opportunity, I have seen everything from refuse haulers to pickups with a cube of bricks. Their favorites seen to be the F 550s loaded down pulling a trailed piece of equipment.
  5. Kyle, Neat truck. It is always nice to have a wrecker around.
  6. I tried this before and it didn't seem to make it. I had several Diamond T's and replaced the last one with the Mack B-61. This is the only Diamont T item I have left over.
  7. I used it in an antique Cadillac with a flathead V-8 for about 7 or 8 years and10K miles of driving. I never had a problem with it and it cured the boiling that occurred after turning the engine off. The two things they recommend is to be certain all the water is out of the cooling system and also to use a 0 pressure cap. I have also talked to others that have used it in cars but not anyone in a truck.
  8. Very nices. I'd say it is ready for any show.
  9. OD, So sorry for the loss of your dad. It is always hard to deal with loved ones passing on but the memories will keep you going.
  10. In spite of current state of affairs we can always be proud of our folks and the way they brought us up and they are some cute pups.
  11. Welcome. Great looking truck that is coming right along.

  17. After all the hard work and a new set of "dog flaps" keep it and enjoy. Not many folks have a pizza getter as nice as that.
  18. Great pictures, very thought provoking. Thanks for sharing.
  19. Thanks for the great video. I am really sorry I couldn't make it.
  20. It's cool the way it is, really tells a story.
