    My husband is a retired automotive engineer and he said he would move the lights from center another 2 or 3 inches. He stated you’re doing a great job and we’re so happy to see a young man working with his hands and doing quality work. Wanting to see the AAR Cuda as he builds old MOPARS!!

    Wow, that grill, the split windscreen, those fenders.. ..incredibly nostalgic for me; in the late 70's my small-dairy uncle was actively using a old Diamond T on his farm. A decade later it was one of the most interesting old heaps around the place, well-loved but totally run into the ground. I also recall riding in what I think was an early Diamond-Rio, asking about the swinging warning alert arm at the top of the windshield that had something about "air brakes" written on it.. ..and being told not to worry about it! We were moving slowly on fairly level terrain iirc, so hopefully there really wasn't anything wrong with relying on the standard brakes.

    I know it's not finished yet, but this is going to be an awesome-looking truck when it's all finished. Keep the Cadillac headlights too, they look great on those wide fenders.

  • @42lookc

    The massive size of those fenders and running boards and front bumper needs massive headlights to go with them. Great choice! Loving how it's coming along.

    Really nice project and well done. The '31 Caddy headlights almost look like the P100's found on pimp mobiles that roll through Harlem. If you are driving to Hooters maybe that is the perfect look. '38 Caddy headlights are a little more bulbous and post Flash Gordon so they may be more similar to the originals. Someone claimed the dash gauges were typically leftovers somehow bought directly from the Packard factory. Four wheel drive is a must have. Cruise control and super soundproofing a good idea, along with high back seats.

    I have followed the Diamond T and waited patiently for part 2. Move the headlights around until YOU are satisfied. I really like your will it run videos because you do not follow the square body crowd and bring back what some would say are lost causes. I am 80 and working on a 1953 Dodge 2 ton partly due to you. Live in Arkansas and got it in Arkansas.
    Keep up the good work.
