This is my 1936 Diamond T model 212.
This is a DRIVER. It is a blast to drive, it turns many
heads. The paint is not perfect, it has chips and a small run in the clear here
and there. I purchased the truck in 2005, and began the project in 2007. My intent
was to create a Hot Rod with a diesel engine that would drive and handle a
10, 000lb camping trailer, and run down the road at 70 mph. I began with a 1994
P-30 Chevy motorhome chassis that had about 40k miles on it. This is basically a one
ton C-30 front suspension with larger disc brakes, 19.5” budd wheels and tires.
I used the front clip, the frame is a custom built 3”x5”x1/4” rectangle tubing.
It has a Dana 80 rear-end., disc brakes and new 3.73 gears. I purchased a
wrecked 2003 Dodge 2500 for the 5.9 Cummins engine, transmission, electrical
system, instrument cluster, steering column and hydro boost braking system. The
engine currently has 210K miles as per the speedometer. I don’t know if any
rebuilding has been performed on the engine. I have resealed the oil pan and
replaced the valve cover, the engine is VERY clean internally. The engine has
never failed me over the past 10K miles, since I have had it on the road. Engine
and body diagnosis can still be connected to OBD2 systems. The truck gets 20+ mpg on the road between
60-65 mph, 10-13mpg when towing. The truck has been on the road mainly during
the summers since 2010. The truck annually went through some type project or
improvement each winter since then. Hours and hours of metal work has been done
on this truck. Most everything has been modified, all new metal was used, most
of the body is 16 gauge, yet the bed sides and running boards are made from 14
gauge. The tail gate was purchased from Mar-K with hidden latches and stainless
steel straps. Please watch my videos on YouTube.com, Mike’s Diamond T Hot Rod.
