I guess this is considered a tool - anybody else have a Singer 111w151? I can find very little about the machine - I think it was military issue as it had a number written on it in military green (that came off when I cleaned the machine unfortunately). Singer has NO info on the machine (I...

On our project, we both have to come to a consensus of some sort before we make a design change/plan. I got the go-ahead to cover the top of the console with leather (maybe faux leather). I need to have a plan for exactly how to go about this before I commit.... the main thing holding me back...

we are installing a new wiring harness (21 circuit harness from speedway) and instructions does not cover installing any relays except for the engine fan. What other things will need a relay? 36 Diamond T cab 1st gen 12valve cummins 6BT, 5 speed manual trans air ride (air compressor and...

hoping for some ideas for accent paint color for the interior of the DT. This is where it gets hard with 2 people working on a project.... both people with different tastes have to come to a consensus, ugh. We want 2 colors for the interior mainly. One color has been decided - ivory/cream...

IMG_20170119_223519_846 by Karin Vail, on Flickr OK, so our 36 Diamond T has a first-gen cummins 6BT (from a 91 Dodge D250). 20170211_164157 by Karin Vail, on Flickr Hubby keeps saying it needs a '1-wire alternator'. I am the parts/research person (as well as doing a good portion of the...

We want to use this on our 36 Diamond T build - but having trouble finding a steering column to work with it. Anybody know what it is off of? Or better yet, a way to make it work for an aftermarket steering column? Tapered hole in center tapers from 7/8'' to 1'' with a .18'' keyway. The...

I tried to find articles or discussions on this and I might not have been using the right search criteria, but I couldn't find much on the logistics of wiring a battery behind the cab.... we built a battery box that is mounted to the frame behind the cab. I know that we will obviously need a...

My husband and I have been building a '36 diamond t for a couple years and we are hoping to get it to where it is somewhat driveable by the end of the summer..... in order to do that, we need to figure out the suspension and brake system...... The truck is a dually (GM 12 bolt), powered by a...

I like to do the research to figure out the supplies we need during the week, so when the weekend comes, hubby and I can get some things accomplished on the build. We have been avoiding the steering for a while, but I decided now is the time to get this figured out. Our steering column came...

We are looking for new hinges for our '36 Diamond T truck. I know it's probably a long shot, but we are holding our breath and hoping! We have 5 hinges, but one is bent and another VERY worn/sloppy. Anybody know if these were used by a different truck brand too? This hinge we removed the pin...

we are trying to redo doors for our '36 Diamond T. We are using donor doors from a '40 Diamond T that are the same. We removed the mechanisms from the '36 doors we will not be using in case we need parts from them at some point. The donor doors will need to come apart to be...

the ID plate on our truck is pretty oxidized - and it has a bit of sealer on it from the previous owner rolling something on it (POR15?) to seal it from getting rustier. What is the best route to go about cleaning this w/o taking off the original lettering too much? I'd like to get that sealer...

We reached a snafu in our project. The back of the Diamond T is in 3 sections, originally bolted together and held true with wood. We decided to weld the sections instead and also weld on the roof section. We got the back panel tack welded and it is nice and flat and looks great! We put...

We just got the roof/windshield section back from the sandblasters - and we plan to epoxy prime this weekend..... I am a little afraid of this corner. the opposing corner is similar, but not quite as bad: We don't have any lead supplies (or experience), so re-leading is probably not...

Not a hot/rat rod, but couldn't find a place specifically to share an old photo, so thought I'd share it here. My grandpa (on the right) in 1933 with his '32 Chevy Landau Phaeton (and original reg/title in my great grandmothers name)

I have always wanted a Nomad, so still occasionally look on Craigslist 'just in case' - even though we are knee deep in the Diamond T project, I still would love a project that is pretty much all mine - something I could work on w/o hubby's help..... I came across this...

I got these from my grandpa's shop when he passed away - not sure how old they are, but assuming they are from the 40's. He had a Hudson dealership in Seattle in the 40's, maybe they are something from that? One is wired for a household outlet with maybe an 8' cord, the other has a 12v (cig...

I have just started looking into gauges - I know I'm a bit premature for our project in it's current state, but I like to be prepared and informed...... anyhow, I found these: http://snsclassics.com/gauges.html and wondered if anybody else has used them? It seems AWFUL cheap for a whole...
