My 1st truck was a 39 diamond t 201 with a manly hand crank boom had a Hercules  flathead 6 retrofitted Eaton 2 speed axle Clark 4speed crash box. The ole man  built  a cable control for the 2speed with an old hand brake handle sticking out of the. Floor! Bought it from him for 50bucks,when he sold his salvage yard.I ended up giving  it back to him and he traded it for a 20 ton Braden winch for a wrecker he was building.the guy who has the35 d t has a couple  other dt's.in  lemmings,. The darn thing keeps changing my h's to l's but you know what I mean! He must collect them.one  Is a beautiful 49 road tractor.

My diamond t had two hoods!

The best riding  cabover.iv'e ever driven was an 85ml600 mack single axle spring ride ,much better than new air ride internationals. Strangely spec'd truck 300 6 speed with lo hole.probably used as a mini wheeler dump.Down here in gator country you are allowed 44000  on an axle group.therefore you can haul 73280 on at tandem trailer and a single axle tractor.I pulled a 50 aluminum drop deck used as a hotshot.the mack had little air bags. On the cab.

    Some of you  May have seen the beautiful 

Red  b75 for sale in Washington state the radiater looks similar to the tanker in question. Kinda bizarre I'd rather have that mack than any 100k street rod I can think of! And I dig street rods!

Not an expert  on the frames but Mr Hancock made it all clear! Now I know why  mack and Broadway shared cabs for so many years.international,Hendrickson,diamond t(my list truck) and I think Hayes and federal shared cabs too. I could be wrong but I think Marmon had its own unique sheet metal.fascinating!

Robert can relate to that! I'm 6'/2" myself but was 165 the last time I drove a b model and 26yrs old! Im72 now and180 .would b nice to find b model with the l j cab but they're rare and high buck also a lot more b model cab parts around.yeah I know it's hobert the darn thing keeps changing my h to r why does it do that?

Could be Maddog probably a straight job hopefully not a dump(hard use !) No mention of a wet line however so maybe not. If so holes should still exist to move spring hangers back to short w/b. Then get a short rear driveshaft . Add a fifth wheel and u  have a road "horse". I'd prefer that but a Long w/b would work too.I'm just looking for a "toy" to make pretty and drive  around the 

Strange such a relatively long wheelbase tk would have a concave cab were generally optioned to accommodate a long trailer before deregulation.

No doubt! Drove a b61 711 13 sp triplex  80mph on 95 in 1971 between ft laud and Jupiter would be under the jail today  and deservedly so on bias ply tires!  Was a tandem dump ex road tractor single screw with a tag axle when we're building the city of Margate.  Am in week I wachee now. Will try to call u tonite. Oh and rookie my a__ _ _ !   3 million miles .
