I have followed the Diamond T and waited patiently for part 2. Move the headlights around until YOU are satisfied. I really like your will it run videos because you do not follow the square body crowd and bring back what some would say are lost causes. I am 80 and working on a 1953 Dodge 2 ton partly due to you. Live in Arkansas and got it in Arkansas. Keep up the good work.

@zinckensteel6 ай бұрын
Wow, that grill, the split windscreen, those fenders.. ..incredibly nostalgic for me; in the late 70's my small-dairy uncle was actively using a old Diamond T on his farm. A decade later it was one of the most interesting old heaps around the place, well-loved but totally run into the ground. I also recall riding in what I think was an early Diamond-Rio, asking about the swinging warning alert arm at the top of the windshield that had something about "air brakes" written on it.. ..and being told not to worry about it! We were moving slowly on fairly level terrain iirc, so hopefully there really wasn't anything wrong with relying on the standard brakes.

This truck just embodies the feeling of get out of my way I got work to do vibe. The massive headlights fit great where they are at and that bumper looks like you could hit a cow and not dent it. Really love how this build is coming along and can't wait till we can all see it going down the road.

Really nice project and well done. The '31 Caddy headlights almost look like the P100's found on pimp mobiles that roll through Harlem. If you are driving to Hooters maybe that is the perfect look. '38 Caddy headlights are a little more bulbous and post Flash Gordon so they may be more similar to the originals. Someone claimed the dash gauges were typically leftovers somehow bought directly from the Packard factory. Four wheel drive is a must have. Cruise control and super soundproofing a good idea, along with high back seats.
