    Is this a Diamond T ?

    Spot on! Not sure why I couldn't find it before using Diamond T. Just found it in David Doyles book, though need to research more on any variants; Looks like they were only Cargo Trucks.

    Is this a Diamond T ?

    Data plate is pretty goofed up and per the door decal it was used as a drilling Co truck after service. I can't find a model ending in 967. It's my fathers, located in Western KS and he uses it to lift things, but I'd like to get some TM's for him.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Water based, the exterior behr from HD as found in the Paint sticky. I brushed it on but will use my airless sprayer for the actual paint job.

    Got the fuel leak fixed, I think! Having some problems with the starter not turning over now. In momentary on , I can hear the Clunk of the starter Relay. Limited Solider B time so I got just a few tests on the switched side of the relay, seems to be good. I've got a new relay on order...

    I used the COSTCO fuel once in the F250 I just sold, got terrible fuel mileage, like 3 MPG less than normal without other factors changed. Maybe it was a bad batch?

    Funny story about the delivery , I live at the end of a private road or 5 houses, it's a tiny little road so I had to meet the semi at the transition point of public to private as it's the closest "big" spot to offload. It's also where our mailboxes are. Enough backstory, so I'm checking...

    For your perusing pleasure. It was interesting getting it off the semi, driver was scared to drive it so I had to back it off , wasn't quick enough to get both ramps in the photo but it was quite the incline. Replaced the Engine Stop cable, it was working but missing the knob inside so it...
