45 years ago, I worked in a building in Johnstown, PA that had tire tread prints embossed in the linoleum flooring in the front office area. An older man from the neighborhood told us that the building was a Diamond T truck dealership back in the old days and the front part of the building was the showroom. The heavy trucks pressed the tire prints into the linoleum flooring.

I was born in Johnstown when you were working in that building. My Grandparents lived in Geistown right near Busy Beaver. There was a Bell telephone company building across the street from their house.

My second truck was newer than the first one... first was a 36 chevy ton an a half.... which todays three quarter ton truck, is bigger I would believe, the older though being longer and then the second truck was a KB S 6. Red diamond engine, 5 and a two speed axle. The year I am foggy on as I remember the title saying 42 in the year box but I got tags on it as a 46. I was lucky in a card game one night and won a mack, it was the B 51 model.. shortly after that truck came viet nam..... and came home spring of 70 where I got myself the narrow nose Pete... it also was a seventy model with a whopping big 220 cummins, and a five and four transmission... now there was a days work!
