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!!
Do you ever run at the Mid-South Live Steam track? I was down there about 2004 with a few friends. It's a nice track. They used to pressure test boilers and certify them, but I don't know if they still do.
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. That yeller bar is the most useful tool with no moving parts I have ever seen!
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.
Man, I've been looking forward to this video for a little while now and have to say it was worth the wait! The headlights look great where they are, they look like they should have always been there.
This truck just embodies the feeling of get out of my way I got work to do vibe. The massive headlights fit great where they are at and that bumper looks like you could hit a cow and not dent it. Really love how this build is coming along and can't wait till we can all see it going down the road.
Diamond T with a Cummins is a perfect match. That sound of the Cummins and the great look of this truck will be wicked in a great way . I have nothing but great respect for you .
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 think the big lights look good I do think they need to move a inch or so maybe to center of the fenders outside that stay on the path your on looking great can’t wait to see the ol girl rolling down the road
After a hard day, it fun to see you putting these old trucks back together. I think I can hear the crickets in the background imagining you’re working on this in the evening. Great work! Greetings from Marietta Ga!
Am I ever glad I found your channel. I like the size of the headlights and where they're mounted, this is going to be one tough looking truck like no other. It's great seeing a young guy so creative and mechanically talented doing successful hands on projects most wouldn't know where to begin. I'll be watching for update videos on this truck.
big headlights are awesome! i'd leave them where they are, seems to work well as is. you could do a walk around video on the Cuda with just where it's at and what you are waiting on.
Really enjoy watching your videos! Can't wait to see were this series goes - I personally think the lights look great and I'm imagining the whole will be one awesome monster of a truck!
What a cool old truck! It's coming together nicely. I believe the headlight distance looks good, but the passenger side looks lower than the driver side. What an awesome resto-mod!
@jenningsmotorsports7554 fantastic bud from one wrencher to another keep it up. I recently saw there was a article written up about your channel so you're on the right track.
The truck looks incredible!! The Cadillac lights are so AWESOME!!! I’m totally fired up for the Diamond truck build!! It’s also really good to see more videos, thank you!!!
You should build a heavy duty box for the jack and one for each jack stand that would be a lot safer than the pipe i love that truck it’s going to be so cool can’t wait to see it finished
I watch the channel from the UK and I love the channel. Don't know if this is what you'd call 'Red Neck Truck Building 101' or if that is an insult but I think it is great to watch. More please.
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 agree with the retired auto engineer and think that the headlights need to move 2-3 inches out from center. I owned a metal fab shop back in the day and you would have fit right in and been a cherished lead guy. You git er done and have mad skills fueled by confidence. Rock on.
You are brave, my friend. There is no way in hell that I would have the guts to take on a project like this with the tools that you have. I'm impressed. If you can do this with none of the right tools, I look forward to seeing what you are capable of when your channel grows and you have the proper tools.
Don't sweat the small stuff.. I've a few old trucks and engine/trans packages.. I like how tall it is and really dig the bigassheadlights.. keep on truckin!
Love the headlights, love all your videos, you're the only channel i have notifications for cause i watch them as soon as they come out!! Keep up the great work!
Love the headlights, truck is awesome. Experimentation with the headlight position is definitely a matter of personal preference. I would try several positions taking photos each time to determine best functional and aesthetic choice. Keep working hard and achieve success.
Good evening from Cape Cod 🦈 I really like your vision for this truck. The Diamond T is definitely one of my favorite trucks. Keep up the great work and the awesome content 👍✌️🇺🇲
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.
This trucks gunna be so badass man can't wait to see the finished product. I know real life gets in the way of content making hopefully you can bang some more videos out I'm excited to see them all
Long time subscriber and totally enjoy you bringing these old rigs back to life. Always wondered… you always say “we”. Is there another person that helps or just a way that works? Either way, keep up the great job!
You're very skillful. You can tell that by how you make things look easy, I know its not. The big headlights look fantastic suit the big truck. Thanks for showing.
Love the Headlights 👏👏 Just for giggles lower the headlight to the center is horizontal with the top of the fender 🤔 we need a profile shot ?? Look at Pierce Arrow for a reference ,a little bit above the fender 👍😉 Keep up the great work ✌️🤠
I personally think the headlights look pretty good where they're at, you should devote most of your time to this truck as I've found it most interesting. I love the "will it run" series though so it's a pretty big toss up.
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!!
This truck will be just like a small version of the truck in the movie duel
@@evan9306Cool. I like that movie and that truck is wicked looking!
your husband is wrong ....
@@mikkei3532 It's just his opinions. Stop
When I was a carpenter, I refused to work for enginurds. You could never make them happy.
Definitely keep the big headlights They belong on that truck! That truck looks awesome! 👍
I agree
Keep the projects going!!!!
Holy shit two Jennings videos In a week. Must be my birthday
This kid is the best. Hopefully, UA-cam pays him WELL and OFTEN for his work.
Keep the diamond T going forward. Love the large headlamps.
I love the headlights and the overall look of the truck. I'm a truck guy. I would rather drive a truck than anything else. It's beautiful!
You are one smart cookie and definitely in your element! Thank you for bringing us along for the ride.
Those headlights are awesome! The look of the front of that truck is amazing! This build is amazing.
I'm a model railroader and I built an old Diamond T flatbed truck for my railroad. Love your videos. Cheers from eastern TN

absolute gem of a channel, I pity anyone who hasn't found your videos yet

I love the big headlights, they’re the perfect distance from the grill too
Man, I've been looking forward to this video for a little while now and have to say it was worth the wait! The headlights look great where they are, they look like they should have always been there.

She’s is looking great brother . Look forward to seeing her driving

It's been so long since you posted a video on this project I forgot all about it. Glad to see you working on it again.
After a hard day, it fun to see you putting these old trucks back together. I think I can hear the crickets in the background imagining you’re working on this in the evening. Great work! Greetings from Marietta Ga!
Morning Mr. Jennings, what some people don't seem to understand is the time & fixturing it takes to do this type of build....great job!!
I like how you did this one, less time with the camera in hand and more time of you in frame doing and explaining things. Keep it up!
Big lights - big truck. Proportions look right. I love your projects and your timeline mimics my own :D Keep up the good work.
Am I ever glad I found your channel. I like the size of the headlights and where they're mounted, this is going to be one tough looking truck like no other. It's great seeing a young guy so creative and mechanically talented doing successful hands on projects most wouldn't know where to begin. I'll be watching for update videos on this truck.
Keep doing what ur doing
Very skilled man
44 years in body work
Very satisfying work
Leave the headlights out. I think it looks good like that. That's definitely a dream truck for me
big headlights are awesome! i'd leave them where they are, seems to work well as is.
you could do a walk around video on the Cuda with just where it's at and what you are waiting on.
I was just wondering about that truck just this morning. You do great work. Alabama is a big fan.
Those Diamond T trucks are great looking trucks.
damn, the springs coming down and the creaking was scary! Amazing how you do this by yourself. Can't wait to see her driving out the garage!
Awesome build!! Need more of this and the AAR Cuda!
Really enjoy watching your videos! Can't wait to see were this series goes - I personally think the lights look great and I'm imagining the whole will be one awesome monster of a truck!
I love this build, it was great to see an update! Since you asked for our opinion, I vote for moving the headlights outwards 2-3 inches.
What a cool old truck! It's coming together nicely. I believe the headlight distance looks good, but the passenger side looks lower than the driver side. What an awesome resto-mod!
Well i'll be 2 videos in less than a week, hell yeah!!!
Yeah trying to get back on schedule with at least 1 video a week hopefully two
@jenningsmotorsports7554 fantastic bud from one wrencher to another keep it up. I recently saw there was a article written up about your channel so you're on the right track.
I said the same thing, love the straight forward approach to everything. Gone are the days where vehicles can be fixed.
Man, I'm glad to see part 2 of the Diamond T. That thing is gonna be so cool.
Really COOL build! That welder sounds like it’s right on for heat and speed. Enjoying this one and am subscribed!
The truck looks incredible!! The Cadillac lights are so AWESOME!!! I’m totally fired up for the Diamond truck build!! It’s also really good to see more videos, thank you!!!
Love this build!!! The big lights look great where they are too.
I think that truck is spot on. Great work Mr. Jennings. Keep up the good work.
You should build a heavy duty box for the jack and one for each jack stand that would be a lot safer than the pipe i love that truck it’s going to be so cool can’t wait to see it finished
Headlights are good where they are. Nice to see a shop video, as well as more frequent videos!
thanks for bringing back some of the other stuff back.. i like the lights in the center
This is about the coolest build I can imagine. What a way to update this beautiful old Diamond T.
Man that old truck is going to be so cool. It takes a lot of talent to do a project like this keep up the great work 👏
I like the head lights closer to the grille. Gives it more of that Capone gangster look ya’know.
Looks really cool, I love seeing things being fabricobbled together.
I’m good leaving them where they are. However, moving them out a couple of inches might give the truck a more balanced look.
Amazing job! Great show!
Keep the headlights! Hell of a build!! Keep going..
Your truck is going to be intimidating on the road for sure. I truly enjoy watching all of your builds
Intimidating in a very cool way!
Awesome part 2 on the diamond T, making some good progress with the sheet metal and those nice BIG head lights 👍👍
That truck is gonna be the coolest thing on the road!
I watch the channel from the UK and I love the channel. Don't know if this is what you'd call 'Red Neck Truck Building 101' or if that is an insult but I think it is great to watch. More please.
Your channel's commitment and sincerity are truly special. Congratulations
Bot
Finally back into the shop! I love the shop video’s!
That’s going to be a cool lookin’ rig once you’re done with it!
I’m not much of a truck guy but I love watching you put this together. I wish you could keep the rust on it. Has an awesome Mad Max look to it.
Man that truck is going to look badass! Looking forward to seeing more!👌😎👍

Great video I'm so glad u are rebuilding some of these 👍🏼🇨🇦
It's always good to see a part two to some of these things.
I agree with the retired auto engineer and think that the headlights need to move 2-3 inches out from center. I owned a metal fab shop back in the day and you would have fit right in and been a cherished lead guy. You git er done and have mad skills fueled by confidence. Rock on.
it's been 8 months ;) hopefully ready for an update soon, love your will it runs, but also loving the progress on this truck build.
You are brave, my friend. There is no way in hell that I would have the guts to take on a project like this with the tools that you have. I'm impressed. If you can do this with none of the right tools, I look forward to seeing what you are capable of when your channel grows and you have the proper tools.
Oh gosh, I wouldn’t want him to get “the proper tools”, that would take all the fun out of it!
Cannot wait till it’s driving down the road.
Keep the videos coming! Im constantly waiting 😁
Diamond in the rough LOVE IT and keep the huge headlights.
great progress, it is sure looking good and the headlights fit great
Don't sweat the small stuff.. I've a few old trucks and engine/trans packages.. I like how tall it is and really dig the bigassheadlights.. keep on truckin!
Love the headlights, love all your videos, you're the only channel i have notifications for cause i watch them as soon as they come out!! Keep up the great work!
Great video as always! You're doing an amazing job! Thanks for bringing us along 😊
That is going to be one amazing rig when you are done!
Thanks!
Love the headlights, truck is awesome. Experimentation with the headlight position is definitely a matter of personal preference. I would try several positions taking photos each time to determine best functional and aesthetic choice. Keep working hard and achieve success.
Excellent video Jennings :) also those headlights nice but right one need go back a 1/4 " on fender too and rest looks super too !
That's gonna be an awesome-looking truck when it's done. Keep 'em comin'.
Your talent amazes me. Love your work, Dustin.
Hey, how do ya know his first name? Ive NEVER heard him say it.
Good ol’ Google. He’s awfully talented. Love this channel. Can’t wait to see the Cuda again.
Your channel by far is my favorite
Classic iron for the win
Great video! The truck is looking great, and I"m definitely looking forward to the next part. I agree with the others, to keep the big headlights.
Good evening from Cape Cod 🦈 I really like your vision for this truck. The Diamond T is definitely one of my favorite trucks. Keep up the great work and the awesome content 👍✌️🇺🇲
I had to rewatch the first one. hope to see more sooner lol
Thank you for showing this; it is an excellent truck so far.
I think the head lights would look nicer if they were mounted in the original mounts on the fenders when the truck was new. Great video! Thanks!
Another great video, can't wait to see more updates on the old girl.
This is gonna be one awesome looking truck!! Wish i had your fabricating skills buddy!!
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.
Love the headlights! Trucks going to be badass
I've posted before....I wish I had just half his mechanical talents. Good job. Keep it up.
This trucks gunna be so badass man can't wait to see the finished product. I know real life gets in the way of content making hopefully you can bang some more videos out I'm excited to see them all
Long time subscriber and totally enjoy you bringing these old rigs back to life. Always wondered… you always say “we”. Is there another person that helps or just a way that works? Either way, keep up the great job!

The headlights look great and your metal work is also great
I'm impressed . Can't wait until it's finished
Been waiting 11months for the “next Monday” as mentioned in last video of this build 😂🤣
Seeing the notification just put a smile on my face
great stuff. good to see the videos come out. You need some merch.
Love the Headlights 👏👏
Just for giggles lower the headlight to the center is horizontal with the top of the fender 🤔 we need a profile shot ?? Look at Pierce Arrow for a reference ,a little bit above the fender 👍😉
Keep up the great work ✌️🤠
Wish I would of done something like that when I was younger .great job I love it
Keep the headlights for sure, you might wanna move them out just a little more rather than in but overall that beast is looking tough!
I personally think the headlights look pretty good where they're at, you should devote most of your time to this truck as I've found it most interesting. I love the "will it run" series though so it's a pretty big toss up.
