My WW2 Dad, drove lots of Diamonds, he told me he had a bunch of them going to get supplies, and into some mountains and he worried if the brakes would hold, they did, and he got the drivers and T's home. Loved the vid!
From a time when trucks were trucks. Fortunately at the beginning of my trucking career there were still trucks from the 50's & 60's still working & I got the chance to drive a few.. Nice truck sounds great.
GREAT Video!!..... I've driven a few "T"'s years ago but were all GM Diesel Powered (as they were known before the name change to DD in mid-1965). Nice to hear that ole "Iron Lung" Cummins workin the grades.
Very nice Diamond T.....You are giving that classic a good workout....My father had a 1961 Diamond T not sure of the model....It was used as a wrecker and had a Holmes 750 ....220 Cummins with a 10 spd....Not sure of the model but had a set back axle was a tough old truck and served us well...Had the compression release starter in it.....Was back in the early 70s...I was about 10 years old and I loved that old truck....Very tough and it did some amazing recoveries......Really enjoy seeing the old classic Diamond Ts.....Take care and hope you are still enjoying the one you have....
I do believe the unique starter sound was the engine turning over with the engine compression release pulled. All Cummins engines that I remember from that era used a compression release for not only starting the engine but also to shut it down. It is good to hear that ole engine talk.
That is an awesome looking Diamond T. I've seen some of his other truck in books and they look every bit as nice. Do you know if he is restoring the late 40's Pete on the lowboy? Great video by the way!

Beautiful look T brings back good memories ❤️
Ah brings back memories of mile long lines behind those low geared trucks, and two lane highways. Good looking T.

I started working on trucks in 82 and we still had B model Mack's on the highway from the 60s

Nothing like the sound of that air starter .
I do believe the unique starter sound was the engine turning over with the engine compression release pulled. All Cummins engines that I remember from that era used a compression release for not only starting the engine but also to shut it down.
It is good to hear that ole engine talk.
Damn son nice truck. Back when shit was built to last you could beat the hella otta it and it still would run like it should.

Nice ride.
What's the green truck that the Diamond T is hauling? It looks like a pre-WW2 Sterling.

When trucks where trucks
Sounds like a 220 Cummins
That is a sweet truck! What engine is under the hood?
Nick Huntington That would be none other than a Cummins 6 Cylinder diesel!
