yarnall Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 It looks like you will have a rough ride in that tractor. You need a bigger bunk. Have a good trip. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45229-diamond-t/#findComment-333486 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxfymn Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Have a safe trip. Here is the real question; When is Keith going to talk the ATHS into holding the annual show at RIR? Great location, lots of local trucks, easy to get to, and lots of hotel rooms. 1 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

harrybarbon Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 And before Howards bought it - great truck, one of the best looking trucks, especially 1952. The exhausts behind the cab complete the truck appearance It deserves to be cared for and appreciated, What is size is the cummins motor and what is it like to drive? Have fun. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45229-diamond-t/#findComment-333625 Share on other sites More sharing options...

maint1 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 I talk to Jerry pretty regular, he has a really nice collection, picked up a Reo there a few months ago, he sold a Mack not too long ago, not sure if that is the one or not, he is taking El Turbo to Salem, the Diamond T has a 400 Cummins 4:11 gears and Double OD. Lots of leg but not too much power, I changed the button for a little more power out west. Love the Mack and the DT. Hoping for only minor problems on the 3200 mile trek, not foolish enough to think it will be trouble free. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45229-diamond-t/#findComment-333695 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll do it Brocky, was thinking of you when I posted the Diamond T's, I thought you would like them. Hopefully the trip will be not too exciting, once I climb Sandstone Mt. I will have a better idea of how she is going to do. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45229-diamond-t/#findComment-333777 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfymn Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Quote Carl, all of what you said is true but there are no ATHS chapters near Richmond to support a show. I beg to differ. Tri-States, Shenandoah Valley are both in the area. IMO Richmond would be a huge success. Easy to get to, lots to see and do in the area, and a large population base to draw on. We need to start a campaign with ATHS. 2 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

Brocky Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I have to agree on the Richmond VA area.. Although there is no ATHS chapter in the immediate vicinity there are plenty of ATHS members in a larger radius to draw help from.. Some of whom can bring their York PA expertise to the table. 2 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45229-diamond-t/#findComment-333945 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post maint1 Posted May 20, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 20, 2016 Kings Dominion at exit 98 would be great for the families with other interests, I had also thought the fairgrounds at exit 98 would be a good place.
