HarryS Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Welcome Dave. The museum is awesome. I stopped by last year to see my old truck, the 1948 Diamond T rollback. The lady at the front desk said they were using it as a stage for the band at picnics. Sounds cool. Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maint1 Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 I met you once, I was working in the truck shop. It is used as a stage for bands when there is an event. A lot of Diamond Ts added this year. I think 5. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdog Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Howard Fugitt is right,Al. Scenery Hill,PA I think.Someone offered Howard F. a crazy price for it several years ago,after the Phoenix convention if I remember right. Sometime later it started showing up on Ebay,at least twice under different owners before Jerry Howard ended up with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57 bcr Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 That's what I thought,Mike.Looks nice.I think it has like a 320"wb or something.BIG truck! I remembered it belonging to a collection in Louisiana at one time,too. Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!
