neat

I like it!
looks pretty clean and straight, and unique.
I can't say I have consciously seen a military Diamond T truck that still looks like a Diamond T, and not just like the next one made by Mack, or whoever,

And it's a wrecker!

Grigg

Sweet truck John!
You know, if I show Jen the picture she is going to want to drive that one too.

I'm glad Les could help you out, hes a good guy. Get lots of pics of your new trucks new home coming.
Billy

As I own 3 Dodge M37's......I'm downright Jealous...
NICE, I love it!

Nice Military Holmes W45 Wrecker.

Hey Spanky, I like all those wreckers, guess I know who to go to if I have a question..
Billy, I would be honored if Jen, drove the truck, just a 5 speed, and we can strap the grand poobah to the boom in the back while he is smoking a big dominican...............


John

You'll strap me no place, Sir!

And Jealous? Not on your life! Heck, I had one that looked just like that a year or so ago, but it was boring so I had it crushed. It's now our coffee table. Jealous my foot.

I am NOT jealous.

Nope. Not me. No way.

:p

Billy;
Do you think I hit a nerve with guess who, you would think the former marine would like Olive Drab...

Man 42Chevy that is more than cool it’s classic cool! I love that grill the only thing that would make it better is if it were a dump truck “sorry Spanky we all have our own hang-ups” but really that is a cool truck. I have a friend on another web site that is a collector of old military trucks and I am going to send him a link to your photos.

Heavy Hauler;
already have a dump, my 1940 Chevy 1 1/2 ton. Always liked the look of those GMC grilles, many years ago I had a '64 GMC 3/4 ton p/u, should never have sold it................

thanks for the comments

John Gott

Oh please. You slay me. Really. You and Mack Boy teaming up??? Against .... MOI??? Yawnsville.

And your big, cool truck, too!!! Both of you!

:p
John

42Chevy you got John going I was just trying to get Spanky going too.

No problem, Dump Trucks ar O.K. with me. Only owned one of them, & it was a '46 F*rd COE, with a box dump. It only had a 101"in. wheelbase, with air, over hydraulic brakes.

Yo Poobah;
I think I found the root of your jealousy, you should have bought that COE International in Winchester. BTW, I do not own a Chevy firetruck...........YET, as I know if I made that purchase you would have to be hauled away in a straight jacket

John

Seriously, you ought to get a firetruck! I think everyone should have a firetruck. They're a gas and a half to go riding around in. Of course, mine is just barely a fire truck -- take the pump, lights and siren off it and it's just an old truck with a big steel box on the back of it. There was a great truck available back home in Maine (naturally, right AFTER I bought mine) it was one of the CCKW-based ones (Same Darley pump as my truck) turned over to rural VFDs after the war. It was a beautiful truck that was operational until they sold it. Seems like a lot of reserve apparatus from small VFDs has been hitting the market over the past few years as Homeland Security money trickles down. I wonder if that means the good old days of cheap antique firetrucks from VFDs are about to come to an end?

Unfortunately, that exercise in Winchester told me that a big rig COE is not a workable idea. It would work if you three guys just happened to be here whenever Peggy needed to get in it ... Of course, having you, Bill and Grigg as neighbors would be cool (The Mennonite community might never recover...)

Grant -- Keep after Spanky! He can take it!

Well got to get outseide -- one of our Bradford Pears shed half of itself over night. Right onto some of our christmas trees. Nothing like firing up the chainsaw on a holiday morning.
