a diamond 201 like I used to drive to school.....



except this one has been restored...

 

I love those old trucks. Also, the Dodges, Studebakers and Internationals.

 

hard to disrespect any classic truck

 

True. I built 53-56 Fords, but always loved those orphan trucks.

 

ah, the 2nd gen fords. huge fan of those.

it's always nice to see the oldies, especially the less common ones and ones made buy companies now defunct for decades.

partially for the better and partially for the worse, but man have trucks ever changed.......

 

Not a great pic, but here is my 54.

 

sweet. what's under that hood?

the 55 would have to be my favorite out of those. love the grille

 

oil changes tonight for the pickup and the motorcycle....

 

Modified 351 Clev with the 4 barrel heads. Holley 800 double pumper, alum intake, Crane cam, 4.88 gears. With 175 No2, ran 12.95. Did best when I had a modified C4 tranny. Didn't do as well when I switched to a small block C6.

 

work truck has got 195k in 5 years.....would've had more if it hadn't had that accident and it sat getting worked on...

 

That's a lot of miles on both truck and driver.

 

ah, must have some get up and go in her. nice old truck.

 

Ya averages out to 40k miles a year

 

Got up this morning at 6am opened the front door stepped out side and turned around to shut the front door and heard a rattle couldnt see anything being dark.. Grabbed my cell phone and turned on the light and a damn Rattle Snake was about 2 feet from me. That'll wake ya up real fast!
