1947 diamond t 201 pickup build part 1

[@jaybird9982]

Someone donate a workbench to this guy. He’s frickin’ welding in his lap. Nice work. Cool build.

[@Byzmax]

I really think he would not use it... Well not for welding. Probably to prop something up perhaps. He just uses what he has and makes it happen.

[@caseyj.1332]

Probably wouldn't be the first time he's caught his britches on fire. I've worked this way for years...engineerin' by the seat of your pants.

[@Brando_Magnifico]

There's no way He could build one if He needed it

[@RuralTowner]

Just like some of the Old Timers no doubt...

[@stillraven9415]

I've never seen that b4! He must have steel balls!

[@ThomasThomas-wn3km]

I love seeing these old trucks back on the road. Your accent sounds like home to me.

[@kennethsonier1766]

The diamond t was probably the single coolest looking truck ever built. I'm psyched to see this thing coming together. You do some awesome work dude 👍✌️🇺🇲

[@muddparish6044]

To be honest diamond made amazing looking trucks. But in my opinion international had better looking trucks (but I'm biased since my first vehicle was a s160 school bus)

[@paulhare662]

Partial to White Superpower trucks myself.

Can’t wait for next video part 2 Let’s go I dig your channel keep up the good work

I don’t know how old you are, but it’s awesome seeing you tackling these old vehicles. I wish we had more your age interested in these.

[@johnmarinowolfgangkromhong3923]

The fact that you do this by yourself is amazing! I would love to work with you and assist your creations, if only I lived closer!

[@maggs131]

I love things close and farther away

[@stebstebanesier6205]

I was thinking the same thing, If I lived close to this guy he would have to file a restraining order to keep me away.

[@BelloBelvedere]

Super master, you bring these old girls back to there glories.

[@jesterr7133]

Dude, you're tough. You got guts doing this by yourself without even having a lift. Much respect. This is a super ambitious project for the tools you have to work with. It will be really cool if you can pull it off. I remember the first video on this truck. It sucked that the motor was roached, but it made it a good candidate for a custom build. I'm glad you are saving the truck.

[@BelloBelvedere]

You are good mechanic and more than that. You have learnt good in school..

[@zworm2]

Great looking build. The front of that truck is simply a classic!

[@keithjohnson7453]

Built many vehicles after 44 years Always comes down to who is behind the hammer Very good!

[@FAzE__pK]

Man these videos are awesome and inspiring. The progression in one video is astonishing, and being someone who’s worked on vehicles I know this wasn’t just a two day project so hats off to you man for the dedication

[@gabrielsturdevant9700]

you get so much work done for just one guy, youre a legend

[@scottnyc6572]

For someone as young as you,you certainly have a keen eye for doing impeccable metal fabricating on an early model vehicle.I don’t think you’d see many older generations even attempting the caliber type of work you’re doing. I’m really liking what I’m seeing come together there and hope you continue on these restoration projects.

[@geraldboykin6159]

You just need the right stuff. I had a classmate in the 70s that restored a 1940s Willys jeep from WW2.

[@michaelliles2157]

Very happy looking forward to the cuda video

[@143DREWID]

Gifted insanity for sure, great rescue fabrication.

[@alanpaulick7815]

You are nailing this truck with your fabricating. Thanks for sharing your content. Looking forward to the next video.

[@704406bbl]

I think you are well on your way to being the next the next Ian Roussel. With that shop full of Harbor Freight tools, you are the working man's champion! American ingenuity and imagination building really cool projects. What an awesome way to bring that old truck back to life. Carry on ol' buddy!

[@ianmaddams9577]

This is gonna be one awesome truck. And the Cuda is looking good too. Real talent with that fabrication

[@simonbarnwell7787]

Loving your work , best wishes from England , and thanks for sharing the rebuild of this wonderfull old American truck with us .

[@whitesapphire5865]

One thing I do like about thee videos is that they are similar in so many way to "The Zach Life" - the young Texas guy who spends his time at work in his oilfield and workshop, fixing and making things, replacing worn parts and in-between whiles, building his "Toter Home" and other projects. I must admit, on here, I love the "will it start" videos, and in truth, just getting a few things together to attempt a start on a 'forty-odd' year old tractor with a stuck engine....... Got some acetone, got some ATF, got some long bars, trying to find some Evaporust and some PB Blaster, but they're not easy to find here in the UK.

[@geoffburrill9850]

Wow this guy can work. Hard doing this all on your own.

[@confused_potato_boi1435]

This trucks gonna be amazing!

[@stigdanielsen384]

This was great to watch, and I am looking forward to the next session

[@TheRSTD1]

I learned more watching this video than I have in 6 months of tech school.

[@ralphjaquess8069]

Great content , anyone that has ever started a build like this ( design builds ) knows its a puzzle with a lot of pieces ! Fabricating is an art in itself fit up takes time . Frame, drivetrain, and body .

[@Russworld1]

Awesome. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Well done.

[@LuciFeric137]

I love the old heavy duty wheels they used to put on pickups. My 57 Powerwagon had split rims. Even the ancient grave digger tires were still driveable. Hard as rocks.

[@anonymous2513456]

i'm always impressed by the sheer confidence and skill that you have man. This would melt my mind with all the things that could (would) go wrong

Makes me wish I had a garage large enough for that and not just the model a and some tools and electric unicycles. I do have a 38 gmc 1.5 ton I need to put a deck on of some sort so I will keep watching your build for inspiration. Nice work

[@needsaride15126]

How beautiful that truck would look with an OEM restoration. Sad no one does them anymore.

[@geoffreymills9932]

That's one awesome build right there, very cool

[@michaelguinn5736]

I was bummed to see that Diamond T cut apart, but, hey, it's your truck, I'm sure it will turn out nice! Now that I watch the video, looks like the Diamond T chassis was in bad shape, I work most of the time by myself too, sometimes it really sucks!!.. y'all be safe!! God Bless!!

[@hqlion]

Diamond T, the toughest looking trucks. Nice work!

[@terryflora9268]

As a fan of your channel I appreciate the small 20 minute window into your daily routine on projects that alot of time and effort just for that small window That is going to be a sharp truck when finished

[@terrygreene1395]

Lol I've always enlisted friends or family to help with the really tough car projects like replacing a tranny ect...

[@mikenone9903]

Great video! Love how easy you make stuff like building stuff out of metal.

[@theoriginalracingsnake]

I subbed up a while ago for one of the "will it start" videos, and man, is this recent stuff different! I loved the humour in those videos, made me LOL a lot. Then you introduced the 'cuda. Then I realised just what a metal master you were. Great content, loving this all the way from the UK.

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

This is SO COOL! You are so great at fabricating on the fly and figuring it out as you go. Love the no nonsense approach to making the cardboard patterns first, finalizing the design, then carrying out the plan. This old girl is going to be HOT! Great video!

[@GreenPersimmon]

I love the will it runs, I’m enjoying the cuda, but this one is my favorite series so far

[@Veryfastslowcar66]

[@sebastianpopoff2844]

This is exactly what I’ve been wanting to do. I’m exited to see the process

[@morgansword]

I replaced a rusted out 95 dodge 4X4 cabin with a 1950 Diamond T cabin that was in a complete factory condition. Right down to the original paint because this old T had been stored under a man's home and had never seen a day of weather. The why it was stored there is a mystery but beggars are not choosers. I spent most of a month getting it to set perfect and still keep the day job. Once it was setting sweet, it kind of fell into place and made its owner a happy man. I used vintage air in the T so he could do the snow bird.... live in alaska and drive south in the winter to texas. I must of done a decent job as I heard people say... Wow, how can a rig like that not be made in production? Come on folks, not many 5.9 cummins engines around in 1950 to my recollection. They even argued with me that it was a factory build and I was the builder which no one would believe. The guy I did this job for was one happy man as it did look like one of my finer builds... but only one of a good many. I think using channel is a wise decision for doing something like what your doing. One thing though I wish factories had done was give us a choice between the married or divorced transfer cases

[@curtis6615]

You are a amazing mechanic, body man and artist, thanks for the content man it is awesome...

Glad to see this video finally! Been subscribed since pretty early on and had never heard of a Diamond T before your video so I'm excited to see this one fixed up.

This is gonna be a sweet Frankentruck. He kind of reminds me of stories about my grandpa from Arkansas. He was a pro welder in the 1920s-1960s.

Dude that’s going to be one beast of a truck! I can’t wait to see more updates videos on that bad boy!👌😎👍great job!

[@BlackHeart-xd1nl]

When I was his age,There were no cell phones ,Wire feed welders, Plasma cutters ,Wish we would have had this stuff them,Acetylene and oxygen was all we had,Rough welding and no battery powered cutters,Grinders, Etc, Man I look back and all I see it burn marks from popping metal on my arms and chest/neck and a lot of scars.
