other dog Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I was born and raised on Brockways and my avavitor is my 358 that I want to make into a roll back. I am also bitten by the Diamond T bug as in the atthahed pictures.I like Diamond T's too. Way ahead of their time in looks in my opinion, like the Bighorn. They'd be some of the best looking trucks on the road today. Here's one with an added bonus picture of nocluejoe66. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

RowdyRebel Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I've never really cared much for the set-back axles. Push that steer tire forward and you'd have a truck....although that bumper looks like it could take a hit or two without breaking a sweat. When did they stop putting bumpers on big trucks? The one on my Mack is pretty tough...but most trucks if you look at the bumper the wrong way, it bends. Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

Speed Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 <When did they stop putting bumpers on big trucks? The one on my Mack is pretty tough...but most trucks if you look at the bumper the wrong way, it bends.> They stopped putting real bumpers on trucks when total weight became more important than overall usefulness. My '54 GMC 2 ton is the first truck I've owned that I didn't have to make a "real" bumper for,and now that it carries a pair of old school "I-beam" forged tow hooks,it's up for anything I can aim it at. No worries here!

Speed Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 The man I bought my first Harley from had one of those set up to haul his cars to Bonneville each year. He ran a 392 Hemi in it so he'd have a good engine to build as a back up engine for his Studebaker racer if he broke it. (Mid 70's to early 80's) He later built a twin turboed 413 for the hauler,and it was an absolute BEAST! He used to say he didn't actually have to drive to Bonneville-the truck already knew the way there;he was just there to remind the truck to pass cars,not bump 'em outta the way. Speed .
