    Hide the women and children, gird up your loins, and hang on to your hats, 'cause the Diamond T is on the loose! I've got a few loose ends to tie up, and a trip to the muffler shop to quiet the thundering 6.0 LS, but this bad boy is ready to roll.

    First trip in 4 weeks to the east side for the Tin Can Tourists Spring trailer rally, then a month later off on a cross country road trip hauling the Spartan for the Lincoln Highway Tour.

    I'm a happy camper. :D

    Wheels are Dodge 17", I'm having new centers made for them with the Diamond T logo to cover the Ram. Also have a set of 16" Dodge steelies that'll accept hub caps and trim rings so I can change up the look. No tires for those, but I have a set of brand new 17's to replace the old Michelons (with primer overspray) on it now.

    I've read through your build thread a few times and never said anything. I guess it's time I say, you did a great job with this truck. It's an inspiration and it looks amazing.

    Those Diamond T's were handsome trucks, the only thing that comes close is a Mack Jr.

    You have a way of making odd look cool great build. I bet this is one of those builds that it's just as fun to drive as it is to look at!

    Looks sharp. I cant wait to see it in person.
