  • This thing had more switches, dials, gauges, buttons and bells than you can imagine...

  • "Endangered Species"....probably a truer description than was realized when it was painted on....

  • Massive aluminum Radiator, complete with Diamond T emblem....

  • I would love to own this thing.... a 1961 931 F, with a 400 Cummins, the original



    5 x 3 speed transmissions, and a Peterbuilt Air ride suspension in the rear.....

  • And on the way home spotted a neat sign...



    at a Truck Stop south of Beatrice.... I doubt anyone in there knew what a Diamond T was....neat one south of Sabetha Kansas for sale, $14,000   1961 931F, conventional with a "coffin"sleeper, if you can ever find a pic of one. Perhaps the next time I head south it will be there....

  • The latest tower conquest...too bad it was so windy that day, swaying around 60' in the air was not my idea of a good time....



    bolts were loose, had to tighten the tower on the way up so I could take it down...took 3 hours, but everything turned out OK. Now sitting in my driveway awaiting reinstallation....

  • Saw this at a car dealership in Beatrice...not quite the same year as Kyle's, and it is a Z-28, but still a nice example of what his could look like...
