Mr. Goodpliers, Joe, and Gordon take the 1952 Diamond T wrecker home to the Rust Ranch! It's finally the day to tow this old auction buy home, but will it roll? We'll walk around the truck, then go picking for junkyard parts, and make the journey to tow it home!
For any inquiries on this vehicle, email Joe at rustranchkansas@gmail.com

Just an absolute beauty! Those old Diamond Ts are the only trucks I've ever referred to as Majestic, and this ol' girl definitely fits the bill...

@knoester7714 Год назад

Beautiful old Diamond T wrecker. Glad that you all got it to the Rust Ranch safely

@XGarage-nj2uf Год назад

I got kicked off the highway in Kansas. Trooper told me to use back roads only. Was using a tow dolly to tow a 1956 Imperial 2 door that I bought of ebay. Topeka to Tulsa. The rear tires were locked up and I was towing it backwards. Steering wheel was ratchet strapped in place. Car wandered all over the place because the steering system was all worn out. I got it home but it took triple the time. It is always an adventure!! 🤣

@markc5593 Год назад

I know it would be a labor of love but there is a ton of character in that truck.

@tomblomquist8213 Год назад

I love that that old wrecker it looks so cool and has lots of character to it. Like to have that old Santa Fe train car i love trains and want to fix one up. Its amazing how long the old tires can keep going.

Looks like a Cummins J series. The cab was IH I believe. Grey survivor we had one in our town I’m not sure where it went when they repurposed the shop

Old wreckers are hard to fine and this one truly is a good one to fine I hope they get this one on the road. It would be cool.

been kinda looking for a auto car or a diamond t to make a off road wrecker winch truck not a lot of call for but from time to time you need one got a fwd frame and some other goodes been gathering stuff for years no funds thou at this time looking for it to change hope it finds a good home

@beatglauser9444 Год назад

Us in Europe we never heard of the Diamond T trucks. The first time I saw one when Dennis Collins rescued one of those Beauties. It had an even more stunning design than this one. I might like to drive one of those vehicles one day. I drove trucks of this vintage in the Swiss Army decades ago. Many did not even have power steering. This was cruel on narrow Swiss mountain roads. Does this truck have power steering?

@fellazvintageretro2675 Год назад

@CycolacFan Год назад

Stunning truck, would it have had a turbo in 1952? Don’t know that I’d have risked towing a much heavier truck behind a pickup but he made it so I guess he knows better than I do 😊

@francisjaniewski5990 Год назад

My Dad did the same idea in 1971. I was a junior in high school. Pulled a 1952 GMC 3 ton wrecker behind a 61 1/2 ton Chevy pick up. On Jimmy was a gas motor with air brakes. I felt it ready to bump my Dad's 61, I let out on the clutch it tried to start,lurched forward ,caused $1500 in damage to the pickup. Of the days.

@tmoz1228 Год назад

That reminded me of back in 2010 pulling a full size school bus with a tow bar behind my 2004 f250 gas 5.4 2 valve to the scrap yard! Hoping not to get pulled over and we had a guy inside incase things went bad to steer! Had a snake come out on him while on the way!! He bout had a fit!😅think we got like 900 bucks out of a 200 dollar investment!

Were buglers issued a weapon in Korea? If not, that would explain the massive amount of cajones needed to operate a machine such as this.

@urbanurchin5930 Год назад

Back in those days there needed to be a bugler to call reveille every morning. It is on a recording now-a-days. I don't know if they were classified as fighting troops or not. But I think everyone was at least issued side arms. The bugler was probably in the same color guard unit that did stuff like raise and lower the flag and saw to accommodations for visiting officers, etc.

@mr.goodpliers6988 Год назад

I would imagine they surely would have been trained on weapons at boot camp - groomed for preparedness in all possible situations

@ThomasSmith-fz6wq Год назад

A lowboy and winch truck would have been more safe! How far did you have to go?

@josephs44 Год назад

50 miles. We drove 25 mph down gravel country roads. It was quite easy actually. My F350 has plenty of power and weighs more than 6 ton with four wheel disc brakes. Proper driving with an eye towards stopping distance prevailed.

@mr.goodpliers6988 Год назад

It was 50 miles. Joe is a thinking, prepared worker. He grew up in Montana and watched the elder men of his family tackle complicated logging jobs. This definitely tested his limits, but it was a successful trip.

What could you possibly do with something that old and rickity. There's no demand for anything like that anymore that's why it sat for so long! Sometimes I think that Joe has mud in his head . How much did he pay for that piece of junk?

@ernielaw Год назад

It may not run anymore but it will serve as art for the Rust Ranch.

@mr.goodpliers6988 Год назад

Go back and check out my "ABANDONED WWII Munitions Plant with a THOUSAND Antique Cars & Trucks Collection" video, and see what the old semi trucks and big trucks sold for. Diamond T was considered the "Cadillac" of truck brands, and there are people who search out these old wreckers to restore. Joe was quite smitten by this one ever since we originally saw it out on the abandoned property for the first time a couple years ago. I can say for fairly certain that this is the most excited he's been for any vehicle he's bought so far this year. A friend of ours has offered to help get it running... Stay tuned
