  1. "they" hired the same shooter used to nick trumps ear. bet no one would say check ballistics for similarities ! this "sniper" got away . same as in dallas in '63 . some one took the fall .
  2. not sure on any of the above. only remembrance I have dealing with an H is when it was being towed!! I was in the H = wrecker stopped ==I with H didn't. duplex; main in gear aux NOT. don't recall it being an H ==60/61 or63.
  3. Don't know for sure BUT looking in a mirror :: I think I'd rather have that body!! LOL looks in better shape than mine !!
  4. check the topic E9 primer loosing prime. think someone posted a part number.
  5. it's not about being small enough to fit in it based on todays body malfunctions ; more about couldn't bend enough to fit. have to enter my Mojave jeep and her Subaru backwards to get in . then hope the legs follow,
  6. possibly what's throwing me off (besides the long day/ Yukon Jack ) is the picture posted!! I remember the intake manifold having an air cyl 1 in +- dia with line going to injection pump ; not the picture posted .
  7. I know some of the story ' trying to be nice. LOL have to admit the T is just a nice looking unit for what ever size, drove the '59Diamond T wrecker for Mack with gas engine , had the best time. pick up to larger; the T had style.
  8. "stopped leaking when I set the brakes" == why a puff limiter ??
  9. that wouldn't be a valve NORMALLY associated with parking brake system / should be a regulator valve , question is = what system ?? suggestion would be to trace lines best possible, or what valve / switch do you move to make a difference in valve leak.
  10. the Mack Jr is/was nice but personal preference would be a Diamond T pickup .. thanks for the photo
  11. the most important part is :: NOT the outward appearance but the person inside. why You lucky = = = = person !!AND she drives a trike .. what dreams are made of !!
  12. my2nd marriage is close to 20 plus yrs AND I KNOW there are issues there !!!LOL anyone want to exchange !!!
  13. so to simplify things ;; what YOUR saying is ""I'm second from right next to that beautiful lady on right
  14. that case a 'POSSIBLE air can leak ??? keep in mind this unit has a number of challenges == old mixed with new !! 65yr old marries a 20 yr old !!!
  15. went back to square one (2020) , it's a B with 300 engine, that regulator valve could have been installed in a number of systems.
  16. now start from left and go to right and let us old folk know who is who. LOL sorry been a real long day of grinding/welding
  17. best suggestion is to trace the lines as far as possible . the valve can be used in a number of configuration systems.#6 aeroquipt to a 1/2 - 5/8 plastic can be ???
  18. Even the name deserved respect ::DIAMOND T , then and now. what a beautiful piece of history.
  19. amazingly beautiful and a workhorse besides !! THANK YOU
  20. should I dare ask whether " jumping off cliffs into tiny rock pool " is based on hear say or experience !!! LOL
  21. lucky for them the wheelbase was long enough to fit a decent third axle. moved many battery boxes from side by side to one on top of another to fit a ridiculous baby axle enough to meet the law requirements back then. narrow steer tires and hyd canvas (not a Richards system ).sign of the changing times .
  22. do we get to see a picture of your '49 Diamond T 201 pickup ??
  23. reading these age numbers, I feel darn young now !!not in the senior class but still in the junior class ;; good/bad not sure ,BUT it sure is fun now to be able to say ;" come on you older folks give us youngster more knowledge to share. LOL
