A barnfind Diamond T that's been buried since 1965 among a families things in their barn brings a Bonneville connection

 Not very clearly written out on the webpage with these images is that this barnfind Diamond T was one of a few sold by the Utah dealership that was Ab Jenkins sponsor and trucking help during his Mormon Meteor II Bonneville record setting runs.

Above is from the same dealership, and since I've never posted a Diamond T tow truck, I had to do it.

the NAS North Island Speedfest invited the San Diego chapter of the American Truck Historic Society, these 4 cool rigs were great to look over!

 the White is a 1941 that Gilmore owned originally. Posted here http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2012/09/1941-white-semi-tractor-trailer-that.html

the red white and black is a 1955 Kenworth

 this orange and black is a 1971 Kenworth

and this brown Kenworth is a 1969... I posted a couple photos last weekend of it, Jeff bought this at age 19, and worked with it for the next 20 years, getting 3 million miles under and behind him... he then converted it with the only stipulations from his wife that it have a toilet and a shower. They're both happy!
