In early spring 2015 , dusted off the 80D did some polishing and headed out of garage for first car show of the year. I live on a hill overlooking the Cascade mountains. Thanks to the logging days, I tested the brakes before starting down the first hill. Surprise! no brakes!. Used the hand brake and brought the 80D to a stop. Backed into the garage. The problem was the left front brake line had be... »
Close Call Finished getting the 80D ready for first car show of the 2015 season. As usual after setting the spark and choke , a few turns of the starter, the engine started and I was ready to go. Thanks to many experiences in logging and driving logging roads I tested the brakes. No big deal, except I live on a hill overlooking the Cascade Mountains and a long way down. Thankfully the 80 D has a v... »
I have a couple 1948 Diamond T farm trucks. They are not restored and have been sitting in our farm yard for 30 years. I used to drive one of them when I was younger. I have them in Montana. I am not sure what to do with them. They both had terminal engine damage, that is why my dad retired them to the yard. I would like to restore, but don’t have much time to dedicate to such a large projec... »

My brother and I are the proud owners of a Diamond T pickup. It was purchased and driven off the showroom floor by our late father. The Diamond T was used by our grandfather’s company to haul dynamite and nitroglycerine in the oil fields of California. After the company was sold, my father bought the truck, and we have had it ever since. A couple of years ago, we had it refirbished to as clo... »
My Granddad bought a brand new red Diamond T pickup in 1948 and used it as his farm truck in Goshen Ind. until 1970.

He told me this fall I could restore it if he could have a ride. It is rusted, dirty, ... »
