[@the_lost_navigator]

There's a giant 'T' between the 'Diamond' and 'Special' on that there manifold... 'T' is for Terrific hearing you're coming back in Service after rebuild, Steve. Respect

[@paullarimore8598]

[@davidp2888]

It brings me so much joy to see you posting again. Wishing you all the best.

[@Mark-lq3sb]

Good to see you Steve. Please, someone pull that truck away from the tree!

[@sheldonworley4549]

We are praying for you Steve, get well soon, we miss you!

[@calliecooke1817]

Lookin' better everyday Steve. Hope you're back making new vid's soon.

[@googleusergp]

Another video and you're getting closer and closer to the time when you'll be back. All very encouraging. As stated last time: Yep, Diamond T was started in Chicago by C.A. Tilt and eventually merged in 1967 to become Diamond-Reo. That would eventually be part of White Motors and what "exists" today is under Volvo's truck division. Volvo and Mack also merged some years back. Mack Trucks does support their history with their "Functional Museum" in PA. I've written to them several times over the years and they will, for free send you all of the appropriate documentation for your truck if you supply them with the VIN #. I did that for a B Series Mack we have in storage and it turns out according to Mack that the truck is "1 of 1". Yes, some of these old trucks have that "industrial character" and for many years they just went about their business in the commercial world. I think more and more people are seeing that the country's "industrial past" is worth saving and documenting.

[@jcpad1797]

Thanks for all the wonderful videos! Keep getting better Mr. Steve.

[@billiebobbienorton2556]

We love and miss ya ! ! ! Continue on the road to recovery ! ! ! God speed ! ! !👍👍

[@Blundo76]

Steve gets distracted and names off, in detail, all the axles stacked up on the back of the truck. Astonishing how much knowledge this guy has.

[@John-wx9oy]

I noted that too. Bonus knowledge and interesting facts.

[@debbiebermudez5890]

Mr. B. Here ! 👀😎👍. As kid growing up in Brooklyn, NY , I show a few of these still being use in the last 50’s early 60’s they were used picking up junk , rolling knives being sharpened vehicle . 🔪🔪🔪💩💩 you get it ! Thanks Steve ! 👀😎👍👀😎👍

[@nstooge]

Really looking forward to your return. I can’t say how enough how much I love the knowledge you impart and the vast array of the vehicles you show us and how soo many are eclectic.

[@jeffclark2725]

These videos are very interesting, sure they are repeats,but picking up new Details like the first time, that Diamond t could really use pulling away from the tree at least great video thumbs up

[@dwhallon21]

Steve, that diamond t is a keeper for sure. Too much to try to part it put. Nice to see you out of bed. Keep on keeping on, and you will be back in the junkyard before u know it

[@douglaszera3564]

So glad to have you back Steve I look forward to watching your videos every day!

[@user-KrackerJack]

That's a sweet truck , would make a cool hot rod , sadly the nose is going to be junk if they don't move it off that tree

[@Iowa599]

I didn't see lugnuts on that front wheel… Was the bearing directly in the wheel?

[@FEdeRioBravo]

I will be watching your past videos and junkyard crawls … very interesting and informative, Rick and Tyler are two solid dudes.

[@Tmrfe0962]

Love these videos, can’t wait till you are back! Spring time please Steve! We are all pulling for you!

[@JasonMcCord-qk3yb]

I absolutely LOVE Diamond T trucks! I have never been able to find one near me, no matter how hard I search! I even have a 1996 Dodge Ram extended cab, long-bed , Dually, with the Cummins 12 Valve Diesel and a swapped-in 6-speed manual! About a year and a half ago, she got T-boned in an intersection by a drunk driver. It has 97,000 miles and runs and drives perfectly. (I drive it around my property, using it for chores.) it would be perfect with a Diamond T cab/clip on it. I’d like to make it into a “Ramp truck” car hauler!😊

[@tylerscottrusty]

Glad you are back! I will watch every video you put out. I missed these informative clips!

[@aussiebloke609]

8:20 Love that shift pattern. Standard H-pattern, but with "Low low" directly beneath reverse, on the far right. Seems an odd placement, but I guess it stopped people from using it unnecessarily.

[@757optim]

Interesting truck. It's amazing how many auto manufacturers came and went in America. Went to an event in Henderson N.C., only to discover at the car show that a block over was a museum dedicated to the trucks that were manufactured there.

[@mikeadie7031]

Bernardston is Steve's museum.

[@rustbeltrobclassic2512]

Figure that truck is 100 years old.. I wonder if car line workers today think, this part is put on this vehicle someone will discuss as an archeological find in 100 years.. I think that's the part i love the most about this channel, is the history, even more than the vehicles themselves.. Glad you're back Steve.. love from the midwest.

[@bobhill3941]

Great video Steve, I never knew what Diamond T meant, I read about them in a magazine over 25 years ago and my grandad and I even made one out of wood when I was racing model trucks in Scouts. It had a yellow cab with a black trailer and flames, inspired by one of Brooks and Dunn's equipment hauling rigs.

[@haroldbirge6881]

🏆Steve 🏆 you're the man 🍀 you can do it 💥👀

[@jamestregler1584]

GOD'S speed from your friends in old New Orleans 😇

[@christopherdlivesey9273]

[@GeneralPoison]

What a surprise to see not one, but two SAABs in the background! Hello from Sweden!

[@stevenhagebusch9561]

man steve glad to see your pulling threw pretty well from the looks of it.....best wishes to you from all of us....

[@danh2608]

I learned to drive a diamond T in the early 90's we had 2 of them and used them as logging trucks 1 was a diesel and 1 was gas powered. Awesome truck really fun to drive..

[@binderstem31]

Glad to see you Steve. Get well soon. Loved this segment. I have a 41 Diamond T . That one you have there is a Deluxe Model. Once you opened the drivers side door. I saw that banjo steering wheel. The engine turned chrome panel on the dashboard around the gauges and the shift lever being forward on the floor are all options on the deluxe ,as well as other options like the storage shelf above the windshield . Nice truck.

[@toddpowell6313]

The diamond t’s were so cool. Hope that when you’re back we ALLstay here for you. 😎

[@paullarimore8598]

First time changing a tire on a split rim lost my big toe toe nail. Didn't blow up, just fell out on my toe! :)

[@davidknight1331]

I bet you can't wait to sleep in your own bed. I will always wish you the best my friend especially where you have given me and others so many hours of great entertainment. Thank You and get well soon

[@goratgo1970]
