  1. Could you imagine how few kids the age of your grandson have any idea what some of the vehicles you have are. Let alone how they're supposed to be used. So many of us on here were that boy at some point.
  2. Funny part to me, I have a buddy that looked a lot like that around 25 years ago. Took me a little while to realize what OD did there. Didn't realize it was a vintage picture of you photoshopped on someone else. Can you picture the chicken smoke'n away while OD was do'n that ?
  3. Tell ya what, after see'n the "Bob" pictures photoshopped it makes ya wonder .
  4. No reason you couldn't just use an R12 for a relay valve.
  5. So you're saying that doesn't only apply in online dating ???? who knew
  6. If that one's a relay, it should have three lines hooked to it. One constant supply, one to delivery (should be to quick release before air chamber(s) and one to signal air to it (from shuttle valve or foot brake)
  7. The Royale was from when that oil guy briefly owned the company (after White) Would have been around 1974 to 1975 . Same time as The Raider was produced. Just a fun little factoid ..... during the time of the Diamond T 921 and 931 they were under the leadership of Zenon Hansen. Same guy that was in charge of our beloved Macks during the Maxidyne / R Model era . Some believe he saved Mack at that point. (maybe he did) Wish he had a grandkid to have saved it from Volvo.
  8. That one picture doesn't look like any valve I've ever encountered . But then again , age wise compared to the truck.... the truck has quite a few years on me. Sure has my curiosity go'n though.
  9. Just a wild guess, truck didn't have an exhaust brake at some point ? (I know little about those old ones, except they did exist)
  10. 7578 side post screw in posts
  11. It was the right thing to do OtherDog. learn by doing .
  12. That little guy there looks like an old shuttle valve (maybe)
  13. That couldn't be from sanders or something like that.... could it ?
  14. I think someone captured this image at a dressing room ....
  15. I had an old friend. He had a 1959 Diamond T dump truck he bought new. He was still using it in the early '90s to plow snow. That truck had one of those mufflers on it. Funny how some things stick in your memory.
  16. Those first two are funny...... like use some vulgarity to describe how funny 😂
  17. Wasn't that a Hopkins muffler ?
  18. Yeah..... and I wanna date with Jane Seymour too .
  19. He wasn't too worried about it, they already sold them any info it could have gathered.
  20. You get a little exercise lugging them around it sounds like....then the clothes hanger part.
  21. 🤔 looks like a muffler in the front of that truck. Must be some tanker of some sort ? Don't remember ever seeing anyone restore something like that. Look'n great though 😍
  22. Coming to an intersection close to home a guy was blocking traffic. I noticed it was a guy I know, and something was wrong. Turned out his kid used the Dodge pickup and ran it really low on gas.... so it was out of gas. It had that rotating knob shifter. Without it running there was no getting it out of park to even push it out of the way. I had never known that, or if there is some way to do it. All I could think was " God.... what a dumb set up"
