How Much is this Build Going to Cost? $$$ 1933 RARE Diamond T

[@michaelhannan8305]

I can't figure out why EVERYONE that watches this video, doesn't give it a LIKE.

[@terrancegrant5573]

Merlin is always my first youtubers of a Sunday.......

[@darrenboone681]

F your not first your last

[@graememckay9972]

I love this channel because nothing is dragged out over multiple episodes.

[@billhayes8526]

Alan, thanks for reaching out to Merlin, Merlin thanks for saving another vehicle, you are the Jay Leno of antique vehicles. To Alans friends, you all are very impressive and thanks for McKay for the assist!

[@timsoares8129]

Merlin, what looks like low power wires along the railroad tracks were probably railroad signal wires. They were used for communications between stations before there was national phone systems and radios on the trains.

[@timkaldahl]

For some reason I love those old Diamond Ts, and I'm only 57.

[@paulhimle]

Maybe it’s just the way the videos are edited but I feel like Merlin is about the most productive KZbinr I’ve seen.

[@carlphelps4098]

Editing by a professional.. Miss Desiree!💥💫

[@dieselmechanic9824]

You can tell he was raised to work hard and I bet he's done it every day of his life.

[@craigsouthern5089]

Love it Merlin,when the diamond T,gets home,time to wave the magic wand 🪄🪄🪄,and turn that old truck,into a keeper. Its time to do that voo doo you always do. To bring something from a resting state,to running and drive able. Keep up the great work. Love the channel. Always, thank you for bringing us along for the ride.✌️👍😎😁🍀🍀🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲.

[@tdwz1652]

that guy has some amazing friends there, 67 years and still shows up to help push a vehicle

[@dougobrien2840]

So great to see a bunch of older guys still hanging out together.Cheers from Australia.

[@justinmills8084]

You know how to keep your beautiful better half happy. Wise man.

[@michaelpais4893]

That’s exactly what I was going to tell him. I live in the area and that is exactly what they are.

[@mikegillmore8175]

Many in today's world would have simply tied the winch to the front of the truck, and drug it onto the trailer. Merlin, this man thanks you not only for rescuing automobile history, but also for allowing the former owner's friends to help load it. That was a wonderful gesture.

[@888johnmac]

Props to Merlin for rigging it up so the Old boys could pull it onto the trailer ... i'll bet they will all be talking about that for ages

[@rolandtb3]

Some serious driving and towing. Lots of gray power and muscle to load that beauty. New home, new beginings.

[@inlangford]

680 miles without stopping! No pee breaks? Impressive for sure! You sure are a Mr. Get it done!

[@a.n.7863]

Obviously not a coffee drinker.

[@harveystephens6115]

Very thoughtful of you to get those sunflowers for your bride!!!!

[@markwatson3892]

Listening to you talk while driving about your directions sounds like an old bugs bunny episode... turn left at Albuquerque and a right at flagstaff ..... absolutely love it !!!

[@keithreilly386]

Thanks didn’t know 60 made me a geezer. That is a sweet old truck

[@totaltreeservice4870]

Hey Merlin I’m a 30 years old kid 😅and I enjoy your channel and all the material/knowledge you put out !!! I have faith you will get to 1Mill

[@truenaturestormers2525]

That is a bunch of OLD Dudes. Cool. Not often you see that, god bless you MEN. Real MEN. How cool is that, OLD MAN POWER, fantastic.

[@CaseyLaDelle]

Now hear me out… Four post lift over the pool. Then you have shade from the sun, and more vehicle storage all in one!

[@rob5529]

That truck is a huge part of Colorado history, I am super stoked to see it being used. Seen similiar trucks similiar signage in photos at a store in Ordway years ago!

[@scottmiller9155]

Dang i was looking forward to see the mini semi going down the road.

[@stnkyp8]

Yes.! I have been looking forward to this build. That old Diamond T is in the right hands.! Merlin is the master.

[@theburtseoni]

Saving an old road warrior, it can't get any better then that!

[@gtoscowork]

Always enjoy watching Merlin conjure an old truck back to life. Shaking the mud and rust off the chassis to find its true soul.

[@johnme7049]

I love the 'Diamond T' name badge on the hoods. That is a real piece of art in itself. They took pride in that rig when it was new. Can't wait to see what you do with the old girl.

[@davevanderwiele194]

Only Merlin would have a diamond T next to his pool I love it 👍😎

[@joesephhitteman591]

Another piece of magic about to happen can't wait to see come to life again .

[@leighvrooman2824]

Ever time I see an old vehicle it makes me amazed at the condition some are in. Hope you keep this vehicle in it's old glory. Hate to see this one some cut up instead of reclaiming. What a parade vehicle it would make and the history of it's manufacture. Thank you for sharing this journey. Keep us up to date as you restore the truck. I am almost as old as the truck. Again Thank you.

[@MinimaxDieselDude]

Can't wait to see this ole' truck get the Merlin treatment. Couldn't have gone to a better home.

[@opendstudio7141]

The iconic Diamond ‘T’ has to be one of the most interesting truck designs of all time. Thanks for sharing the road-trip and making all the old guys smile. 😀

[@BillBurgess-je8bc]

Good video. I’m 81 yrs old and I remember riding in my dad’s Diamond T in the late 40’s. Keep up the good work mate. Bill Sydney Australia.

[@goldenwheeledbanshee9160]

Those are black eyed Susan's i believe u picked. Pretty flowers. Glad u madè it home. Great video again!

[@patrickgreen2361]

I’m amazed at the extra fuel tanks being connected. 100 ish gallons in a dodge is freaking awesome. Merlin- please do a video on designing, installing.

[@secret5.]

Can confirm, that looks like our coal out of powder river. Good thing about coal is it always works.

[@jamescason7783]

That was awesome man, loved when y’all where all moving the truck and talking, just couldn’t stop smiling ‼️🫡🏴‍☠️ thank u sir, and much love man.

[@jeffclark2725]

This is the way to start a Sunday morning, Merlin road trip and cool truck, thumbs up 👍 thanks for bringing us along

[@Dave_Smith_1958]

Always look forward to another video from Merlin

[@thomasbrighton6159]

That beauty is certainly worth saving!

[@Davefromwisconsin]

Right next to the swimming pool. That’s awesome!

[@catmanrescue1]

[@backcountryboondockers]

You are so lucky to get a diamond T. Congratulations

[@VernLang-m7o]

As always another great Sunday video Merlin!

[@ericarmstrong1973]

Born and raised in Pueblo, CO. Even more excited to see the build.

[@alanosborne1947]

This is going to be an AWESOME build and I can't wait for it to begin!!

[@MoxieKC]

Love the forklift counter weight! He can go 85!

[@ianproctor4595]

1 of the coolest trucks ever!!!

[@mii4184]

Well after Mackay fules up,we'll be on to the build😂 good stuff

[@lopin890]

Heartwarming to see all those gents who have held onto their friendship (as with you and Makay) all those decades...❤ Safe travels friend ❤❤ Stay FROSTY... Keep your powder dry and your head on a swivel.. 🇺🇸🇺🇸WWG1WGA🇺🇸🇺🇸NCSWIC🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@kurtludwig6962]

I love Diamond T trucks

[@carlphelps4098]

Thanks Merlin, Mackay and Desiree for yet another epic adventure in automotive recovery, restoration and reliving the times of yesteryear ! 💥💫

[@bst0125]

Merlin, gotta have an "Iron Ass" lol😮 nice save! Make a cool driver. Impressive drive sir!👍

[@noonehere1793]

“Coal from Wyoming going to power electric cars…” hahaha…we just don’t seem to learn anything….👍👍…i think i saw a smile on the diamond t’s face in your driveway😀

[@joesgaragedoorservice7506]

that was your best episode , all those old guys lol

[@zinmaker2522]

!Look at all that coal to power all of those electric cars!" Priceless!

[@johnkranz4004]

Definitely a Nice Truck Merlin

[@taylormade710]

I’m impressed with your dually Cummins

[@miguelgarcia5535]

Merlin makes Sundays definitely a fun day! Great video.

[@kenmurray4232]

That was a great display of how well the Yankum ropes work. Alan should be happy to see that. Nice to see the Diamond T continuing to live on. Looking forward to the build.

[@vicswanby454]

This is one of the coolest trucks I've seen in years. This brings me back to my childhood and my grandfather had one of those trucks for his moving company as a toddler I would escape out to the yard and climb in and play in it I spent hours and months inside before I figured out how to get keys and fire it up I was just a little guy under 5 thumping up and down the road with my grandpa and dad riding in the middle and loving life. I have been looking for a long time for his truck I have a door with his company logo from it hanging in my shop it's been in the same spot for 45 Year's. I can't wait to see the videos on this one coming back to life. This is been a great video with some awesome old guys. Keep up the good work.

[@donaldhalls2189]

Nice old truck, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones

[@jameskuhlman9835]

That drive from Phoenix is a long one, I can only imagine how much longer from Havasu. That left turn at Albuquerque "Bugs" me every time.

[@UncleManuel]

Has the winch already pulled out and decides to pull up the truck manually - Merlin never fails to surprise... 😁 But a pretty cool way to utilize a makeshift pulley system. Alan has created with Yankum Ropes an amazing company and developed pretty revolutionary products for offroad recovery... 😎🤟

[@dennisstone5018]

I have really come to enjoy this channel , Thanks Merlin .

[@danielsmith9500]

I love thr amazing collection of trucks and Merlin built vehicles u have. The diamond t is so cool

[@Sanderly1820]

Everyone with a car channel seems to love the cracked windscreen look

[@michaelosmon]

When you have 37 vehicles for 2 drivers, some parts aren't such a priority

[@stephenpoe2037]

That is quite a rare find ! And round trip with no fuel stop ! Thanks for sharing !

[@williamson8078]

still have my first true leather wallet mad 25 years ago from farmington 30 years lmao good times

[@charlesalden9167]

I start my Sundays with MOSG ! I know Dr Frankenstein will bring this one back to life as always . Love your drive to saved history one vehicle at a time. So awesome you stopped to pick sunflowers for your wife. Thank you best entertainment.

[@jimmiller5990]

Thanks to cousin Paul, I landed here. You have one of the best channels I've found on YT. One question from a Pennsylvania guy - does anyone out West have a truck with a windshield that ISN'T cracked? :)

[@thomasnichols3950]

I’d like to see more of that Ram you were driving! I would pay a finders fee for a rust free 98.5 12 valve dually

[@robertheinkel6225]

When I was much younger and in the military, I made the drive from LA to Chicago in three days. No cruise control, gps or AC. Stay in Chicago for a few days and return. I did that drive for three years,until I was transferred to a base in IL.

[@kennyphillips8603]

Love all these old old trucks will be back on the road. Somtime

[@lonhoschar1943]

Great video!! Nothing like a last minute road trip to haul home a new toy!! The ol' Diamond T should be an interesting project. I'll be staying tuned to see how it all works out. 😁

[@SteveBowen-m2x]

I'm a retired vet and love watching your show I'm a diesel mechanic and love how u show everyone up with a Cummins holler at me sometime and see go get a project truck

[@daviddean753]

Appreciate the video Merlin! We enjoyed it.

[@terrancegrant5573]

That dodge is a great long journey truck with that extra fuel system

[@kimetherington2252]

Lordy lordy, the elders are worthy, the cumroderey amongst old friends. Whoever said you're too old to be doing that, you need to take a good long look at what good old hard-working men can get done in a short time! The young men of today need to sit down with elders in their hometowns and take notes on the valuable lessons they can learn from the older generation! Til next time, take care, and we'll see you on the next...

[@richardharvey8939]

Love us some Merlin 🎉

[@Coalblack79k10]

The mini semi is looking great with a load on its back Can’t wait to see what this diamond t becomes 👍🇺🇸

[@robertlantz2206]

What a SCORE!!! Can't wait to see what you do with it 😃

[@rileysmith6501]

Awesome to see a truck from lovland I'm just 15 min away sorry our crappy roads cracked a rim

[@TheOldaz1]

She might be a diamond in the rough, but sure is beautiful.

[@karenpalmer2195]

Love the old Diamond T. I 'm a bit older than those young lads helping you load her but the old truck is still older than me. That's the stuff I like. Especially old trucks. It was the mini semi that got me watching. That and Paul.

[@Chandraj1978]

Hey just wanted to say we loved u at the wrecker games and I have been hooked on your videos ever since I even got a Merlin's pull over I love the old rigs u by and fix up I'm a load school girl at heart and we r trying to start r own channel but my whole family watches u and u r one of my favorites keep it up

[@truenaturestormers2525]

CAn not wait to see that old girl roll, nice.

[@user-tn8zl9fc6k]

I love your channel.. Well, I know you can't love a channel but whatever the next best thing is. These car & truck stories are epic and Hollywood couldn't even come come close to writing these stories. I can't wait to see the "DT" back on the road. As a matter fact, I will contribute to to a fund for Terry's trip cost to go see that truck runnin' down the road in "Lake Havasu" I'm serious! Kudos to you for getting that one back on the road but a BIG kudos to Terry for saving that truck. He has a dream and I hope he gets to see it run. Also, as I've mentioned before, your vids are of the best professional quality so props to you and your crew (wife & daughter) and other camera folks. Keep em rollin'

[@mikedye480]

I like Mackay's WINCO t-shirt. Years ago I flew for those guys pulling sock line. Good memories. Looking forward to this build. Keep 'em coming Merlin.

[@SweatyWelder68]

Just in case you folks don't know already ...."Gunnnew" is Paul Cox and Family lingo for "Going to"...LOL !! Great Vidja Uncle Merlin!!! In Bastrop Texas we love ya'll Bigtime!...keep on Truckin!!!

[@jonasjones8828]

I wait all week for your video. Gives me something to look forward to

[@johnstark4723]

I see you were back in my hometown Colorado Springs. That was a great find on your last trip through. Glad you got to go pick it up.

[@paulcooper2897]

Going to be a nice truck when it's up and running! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

[@michaelcarpenter557]

It was cool to see you pull the truck up on the trailer by hand. It proves proff of concept by Allen of Yankum Ropes.

[@RonBurgandy-o5z]

Those old trucks are awesome as hell...... good on you for saving that rare example

[@nicholascooper1193]

I appreciate Merlin having an 8274 on his trailer

[@mikebell9166]

6200 tare on that ol' booger... and a drinking straw driveshaft. With duals to carry the anticipated load. Wow. Can't wait to see what you come up with here! Good job talking the previous owner into letting it go.

[@sandkworkshop]

This will be fun.

[@Paul-fl1fy]

I just love these old models what a beautiful truck, can't wait to see the end result

[@ejtakach]

That old truck is keeping up with your Dodge pretty well. Right on your ass!
