Need to find out if any other door will fit my 1935 T,mine has the wood re-enforcement and want to swap out for steel re-enforcement…
My doors are in great shape,but want the steel instead…

Have a 1938 80 D. Had to replace 1/3 of lower half of Driver and Passenger door skins. When door skin is removed then it is easy to fabricate replacement metal frame for wood frame. Unless you are skilled at metal fabrication and welding, you should stay with the wood.

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 […]
Welcome Trent,
Glad you have an interest in Diamond T trucks! They were the Cadillac of trucks of their time! I have a ’47 509 and joined this site to gather and share information with other enthusiasts. If there are any trucks for sale here, you’d have to look in the classifieds section. Other than that, keep an eye on the internet as they do come up for sale from time to time.

have been working on a 1946 509S for about a year. I got it running the first Iday I bought it so I will probably never restore it fully because it is too much fun to drive around! Instead, it is a wo... »
My Dad worked for D-T in Chicago in the late 30’s and was transferred to Kansas City, MO. in 1937. We went back to Chicago in 1946 and he retired there from the factory in 1956 as I remember. So... »
