I saw some color 3 X 5s, none digital. I wouldn't do that to you anyway.

Here's a video of something along those lines being used for a tractor pull.

My g/f's parents have a 1948 Diamond T 1 1/2 ton truck. Big flathead I-6. non-syncro trans. 2-speed rear. Need to pull a house? No problem. Highway speeds? Not gonna happen.

I have their catalog at home (not there now). I'll look it up for you. As I recall, it's not too bad.

I want it, but it's too far away. Even if it were free, it wouldn't be cost effective to retrieve it. I could assemble something from locally sourced parts for less than the cost of the journey.

It's a 30 or 31. I can't tell from the photos if it has two transmissions or not. The cowl appears to be in pretty decent shape.
