other dog Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 the other Long Island. We got the Hills Bros diamond t there, he went there to pick it up and fell in love with the little single axelI took that picture at his house on rt. 45 near Farmville one day. I saw it sitting in the yard and turned around to go back and see it. Last time I talked to Gary. I think he said he wanted it because his Dad drove a similar one years ago. That might have been the one Gary actually drove to school sometimes. We went to school together, he was a year behind me. We ran double to California a couple of times before he was even old enough to run out of state. The company found out he wasn't old enough, and I quit and drove for H.H.Moore Jr. for the next 25 years. He could wheel, I can tell you that.

maint1 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 You are right about the wheeling . We got along great, I worked on the brakes for him right after He bought it. Let me know if you are going to Winchester, if Suzie is feeling better we will probably drive up the LTH log truck or the 55 Diamond T tractor, everyone seemed to enjoy the Emeryville last year, enjoyed the show.

Green Dash Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Here's a street view of Colliers in Uniontown from 2012. The conventional can be seen behind the bed of the blue and white Ford and the cabover is blocked by the cab. Google Earth aerial view shows them still parked there in June 2013.

Green Dash Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Nice. There's at least one more from that era in the TOTM section from another issue. It was a b&w photo but it had a very nice paint scheme and the description said it was burgundy and white. I'll try to find it if I have time later.

Popular Post Mike Blais Posted August 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2014 The Australian ads are interesting. The air cleaner and luberfiners are on the opposite sides from their U.S. counterparts. The C90D is my favorite Diamond Reo model. I like them so much I even bought one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
