I'm using Sweet Patina's products to enhance and preserve the beautiful patina on my 1949 Diamond T 306 truck. I thoroughly clean the surface with "So Fresh And Clean", and then apply a coat of "The Patina Sauce". The results are amazing! I am not sponsored, and I paid for these products.

I hope Greta doesn't see this.
You're answering a bunch of my questions as I'm doing a 46 International KB 10 with a 453 I would be extremely grateful if you could help me I'm lost Pioneer air brake system I'm using a 78 International cabover chassis that's all are break but it was gutted the air brake master system you have looks to be all hydraulic brake setup is that correct
FYI, I replied to your email. Let me know if it doesn't come through.
Sounds great those old 2 strokes love to run
Absolutely fantastic! I’m a big truck guy. Your build is amazing! Excellent engineering 😎
Thanks! 👍
Just awesome! What more can somebody say? 👍👍👍
That is one fantastic build, Sir! You did an excellent job! I have a question for you, where did you get your custom instrument gauges from/at? Thanks.
The gauges are from Speed Hut. It took some time, but I was able to get the font and layout to look very similar to the original Diamond T gauges. Then I drafted the Diamond T logo and was able to upload it for the gauge backs. 👍
That’s a find custom truck heavy truck brother
Roughly how much power are you cranking out of that Detroit
I figure with the larger injectors and the upgraded turbo this engine is likely around 225 HP and 450 ft-lbs
Absolutely beautiful. Truly a top level professional build
Definitely super cool😊
Can you do one of theses on your hot rod? That too looks very interesting….
Absolutely. Have that on my list of video ideas. Will try to put that together later this summer. 👍
Nice job man looks and sounds great
I wanted to do the same to a 1950,s white mustang.replaced gas engine with a 195 ci Cummings. Engine, ran out of money after a while sold. Miss that project. 😢
I hear you. There's no doubt that these projects eat time and money!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful truck.
Man, what an amazing build! Perfect choice for the drivetrain, in my eyes! Those 4-53T's are no slouch, and the 10 speed Ranger will let you get the best out of it. I'd love to see it hooked up to a nice drop deck trailer for hauling equipment and whatnot. Sure is nice to have the amenities of A/C, power steering, A.O.H. brakes, suspension control, etc. Looking forward to more of this little gem!😄👍👍👍
Thanks! And I do plan to post a lot more footage of the truck in action. I do hope to build a mini lowboy trailer for hauling cars someday. 👍
Outstanding effort. Amazing results. One question: Why did you choose to not paint or powder coat the frame?
Good question. I wish I would have. Part of the reason I didn't is that I wanted to keep the truck old looking. I kept the patina on the cab, so why not the frame. The frame is in fantastic condition... not one bit of rust and there is even a lot of the original paint on it. But in hindsight, it would have been better to coat it black like all the parts I fabricated for the truck.
@@hanscustomshop The new black will wear in with time. Looks amazing
Awesome build! Love the Detroit. What airbags did you use in the front?
That's a great question. I went through a lot of air spring data and found that the Goodyear 1B6-538 was a good fit for my application.
@@hanscustomshop Thanks for the info. I’m working on a 53 Ford F600 using stock front axle with Chevy 1 ton rotors and calipers. Works good but the ride is terrible.
@@magnusbjornby9015 So far, I'd say my front axle setup is relatively stiff as well. I just don't have much room between the frame and the top leaf spring, so I wasn't able to get a typical suspension air bag in there. It works fine, and keeps the ride height the same regardless of load, but I wish it had a little bit softer ride.
I love it
As pretty as it is, you’re driving a hearing damage inflictor.
Super cool
You did a great job on keeping the old school look GREAT JOB 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
Super cool project
Clearly you deserve High Praise ....You set the level of energy on a project that is a guide for every builder. I have seen many projects in my life, some better than others, but your project, the attention to detail, simply is outstanding.....In my mind you have achieved the highest rating to a project like this one and will remain the perfect example of engineering and design....God Bless you Fella,and thank you...
My dream is to do the same thing you did to create a daily driver, but my dream truck is a B-model MACK. You did a great job. .
Love those B-model Mack's! I've looked at a couple of them in the past. 👍
" Bad Ass"Best project i have ever seen.....Do you have an engineering degree?....You do now...God bless you fella Thank you
Definitely one of the best comments I've had on one of my videos. And I do have an actual engineering degree. 🤣 Thanks for watching!
Outstanding video and build! Thanks!

You have FUGLY and dumb... then you have this. Always somebody that can set the bar lower...
WOW ! Absolutely love this build ! I am 75 years old. I grew up around early hot rod cars and trucks. Big conventional cab trucks always caught my fancy. I have my own hot rod truck in the shop being built. thank you for showing off the fine work you have done on your truck.
Thanks for your comment. Would love to see your hot rod truck build!
Wow! Awesome job. Sharp looking truck.
Beautiful truck and amazing work. Your attention to detail and holding on to what you wanted, regardless of the challenges is just first class. You are a clever engineer and tenacious builder with great skills. Just brilliant
Thank you for the kind words!
I would love to know what HP your DD is putting out. Also your rpm vs. speed and lastly your mpg. As a retired "old school mechanic", I absolutely love what you did. Congratulations on a job well done! BTW. I am on the hunt for a 4-54 or parts. The only real DD 2 stroke (no exhaust valves). Thanks for posting your creation!
I'd like to know how much HP as well. I don't plan to do any dyno work, but I've been impressed with the power so far. With the 7A77 injectors and the upgraded turbo, I'd guess this engine has somewhere around 225 HP. I've had a lot of people ask about RPM vs. speed. Sounds like I need to do another video! Honestly, I've been thinking about how to do a good video that is focused on how to drive this transmission, and how the math works out for final ratios. The transmission has a 0.8 overdrive for 10th gear, and the rear end has 3.55 gearing. It'll cruise at 75 mph at about 2000 rpm. I'll have to report MPG later, as I haven't gotten to drive it enough to calculate it.
@@hanscustomshop Thank you very much for the feed back. Surprised at the 3:55's but a guy can easily drop down a gear or two if needed. Bet you are hovering at around 15mpg. empty and 65mph. Can't wait to find out.
Very nice work. What do you hope to do with the truck?
Thanks! I plan to drive it every chance I get. Grocery store, etc. In the next few months I will be mounting an old big rig 5th wheel hitch. Eventually I'd like to build a mini low-boy trailer to haul cars. 👍
@@hanscustomshop looking forward to following your future progress/updates
I appreciate what you have done with your Diamond T and glad that you kept the original frame. I currently have a '47 Diamond T 404 project that I hope turns out as nice as your '49.
Thanks for your comment. I put a lot of thought into keeping the Diamond T frame or not, and I do think keeping it was the right decision. It's plenty strong. You've got a few more inches of room under the hood with your 404. What are you planning to use for the drivetrain?
@@hanscustomshop I actually have 1 1/2 1947 Diamond T 404s. I want to keep it as original as possible with the original drivetrain even though that means that top speed will be about 40 MPH. I plan to use the second cab, fenders, hood, etc. on a RAM 3500 dually with the Cummins engine. Yes, I know that it is common to use the Cummins but I don't want to over complicate it. With the RAM chassis and drivetrain I will be able to enjoy it at today's highway speeds. Sorry for such a long answer to a simple question.
You have one very nice Diamond 'T' Truck, my friend. If you get a need to sell it you won't have any problem doing that, I'm one of the potential buyers, lol. Everything you told us about the build is locked away right up here between my ears, such a wonderful job. Thank you so much for sharing this video with all of us. BTW, I am now a new subber, left a thumbs up, and a tap on the bell. Thank you again for sharing.
Thank you for the kind comment, and for your support!
A fabulous build Hans. A real credit to yourself and your talent. The DNA of the truck brining in you experience’s and memories of the past driving trucks blend perfectly. I have just imported a fully restored 1949 Diamond T 306 from Florida down here to home in New Zealand. The truck arrives at our door this coming week. My intention is to customise the Diamond T in the same theme. However we have a Cummins 5.9 turbo going in. We do not have the earlier Detroit engines available here. Impossible to access for us. Again a fantastic build and look forward to seeing more RUclips content on Diamond T. All the best Hans
Thanks for your kind comment! Sure is exciting to imagine your 306 arriving after such a long journey. Good luck with your modifications and I sure would like to hear more about it. I visited New Zealand in 2013 and had a lot of fun. 👍
Thank you for the reply Hans. I would like to send you a pic of the truck if possible. I am pleased you enjoyed your trip to NZ and had a great time. Regards Darren Buckley
@@darrenbuckley-j4o Darren, feel free to email at hans.custom.shop@gmail.com
I just love it
What you might consider is mounting the Jake switch on the upper side of your gear stick so with your hand 🤚 on the stick you can just drop your finger down and flick the switch 😉
Awesome rig
What a beauty! I love every choice you made. This would look amazing towing a period racecar
Agreed! I hope to build a small low boy trailer to haul my street rod. 👍
Just awesome, I love these old Diamond T's. For some reason I thought that all the Detroit's had to use a rootes type of supercharger. Great job, if I get to Colorado some day I hope to see it person, maybe let us know if you are going to a car show.
You're right... all 2 cycle Detroit Diesel engines use a "blower" to blow fresh air into the cylinders and scavenge exhaust gas out. The blower doesn't increase the pressure of the air, so the term supercharger really doesn't fit. Turbochargers were an option for many of the Detroit Diesel models. The turbocharger feeds high pressure air into the intake of the blower. 👍
Sharp Diamond T
In a sea of Cummins projects, I'm glad that it's different... 😂 you absolutely couldn't have said it better! I've enjoyed my 453T Suburban for 23 years now. Now I'm in a 6V project. Thank you so much for sharing all this!!
453T in a Suburban! Love it!
I have a 1979 F350 with a 453t jakes and a 6610
You’ll really like the V6…..I’d put a “natural” 6V53 with a set of 60’s up against any turbo 453 build out there. A turbo’d 6V53 with a set of 60’s @1.460 should met you in the 275 range @2800 and if you’re willing to spin it to 3,200 could have you at 300hp. From a 318 cubic inch diesel that’s pretty damn impressive. Of course if you can piece together enough 53a Jake masters, drones, bolts and bridges to add those to it you’ll have something even cooler. I had a chance to buy a C70 flat bed with a 6V53 that had a complete working set of Jakes on it for $3,500 a few years back…i passed because the truck was rough and I couldn’t see getting my money back for the motor, a clark 5 speed and an old Eaton 2 speed 21k rear end. Of course a few years later I saw a complete 6V-53A Jake “kit” that were functional but probably needed kits put in them and some wiring replaced end up selling for almost $5k on EBay…..FIVE GRAND. If you’d asked me a decade ago what 5 grand would buy, I’d have said you could get a really nice running silver 6V53TA for that kind of money….or even one of the aluminum 6V’s from the military boats if you could find one. It seems like prices on 2 stroke parts are really skyrocketing these last few years….which is great if you’re somebody that’s been hoarding them for decades, but not so great of you’re one of the dummies who sold most of your hoard before the market went nuts.
Nice Job!👍
Nice great job man
Nice truck, looks like you didn;t compromise on any components or the cab and chassis....glad for the detroit instead of cummins 53 jakes another great find..
This is my new favorite custom truck. I have a 35' Sundowner horse trailer with living quarters that I would love to have something just like this truck to tow it with. Man what a fantastic build.
Very nicely done!!! I get it, hard to find the correct front axle but worried that it may be compromised to possible point of failure in the future as the donor axle has cut and weld and pretty sure its a forged piece. I sincerely hope it wont. I wish you would continue to locate a more suitable replacement or at the very least, please consider modifying the original 49 front axle and upgrade with all the modern wheel ends, brakes, and of course use the current leaf/air suspension that you assembled. Just worried about the axle integrity and overall strength. Other than that, one hell of a gorgeous truck!!
The modern axle was professionally Z cut, pre-heated, and welded. Wasn't like I went out in the garage one day with a saw and a mig welder. I have far more confidence in the modern axle. 👍
@@hanscustomshop Awesome to hear, I have seen a few guys do the later that you mentioned, just cut and MIG with no regard to conditioning before and after the repair etc.
I love what you did with the truck.I get so sick of seeing people take a heavy duty truck and put it on a 1 ton Dodge chasis.Thank you for leaving it full size.
Thanks! Let's keep big trucks big! 👍
Excellent Truck & craftsmenship you have some amazing skills choosing an Diamond T as your chosen subject I think is supreme and I admire attention to detail and happy to see you chose an old school 13spd Road Ranger instead of 20:58 takeing the easy way out like a lot of people would have by dropping in a 5 spd manual or just doing a Allison Automatic
