Just got my Willys DJ-3 ready for the annual Riverton NJ 4th of July parade. What are you going to put in a parade for the 4th?

Mr. Harwood, i just checked my invoice and it is dated 9/21/16, it is strange that Diamondback says that they no longer have that size available. I must confess that the reason I went the Diamondback route for my car was due to your terrible experience that you had with your 90 Limited with new bias plies while you were traveling to the Buick National meet. That story convinced me to go the Radial route with Diamondback. I have 2 other sets of Diamondbacks on other cars I have, but on the Buick I was going to go bias plies. When I had the tires mounted, my technician was amazed that none of them took more than an ounce of weight, and that they were round! When I asked why he told me that the other popular manufacturer's tires took a significant amount of weight and they weren't always round. Your Cadillac looks great with the tires you selected, I hope they perform well for you. Jack

BillP's link is the correct tire that Diamondback started with, made up into white walls, a set of 5 was about $1,500.00. I had them in about a week from placing the order, shipped to my door. Running them without tubes, so eliminates that issue with poor quality. Jack attaching photos of the Yokohamas

Yokohama makes a 7:50x16 RY215 model tire that might be a good starting point for Diamondback for larger cars with 16" wheels. The 15" that I purchased were Yokohama RY215 model. Jack

Into iced that the original poster wanted 16", not 15", not sure if Yokohama makes a 16 that is similar to the 15". Jack

In the fall of 2016' I had Diamondback make me a set of 7:00x15 radials with a 3.25 inch whitewall and beauty bar for my 1947 Buick Super (it has Roadmaster wheels on it, so they are 15"). They used a Yokohama 7:00x15 truck radial, and looks surprisingly 'vnitage bias-ply'. The car had those '45 year old Denmans' that Mr. Hardwood referred to. The car went from driving like a dump truck to smooth and easy to handle. If Diamondback can still get those tires, I highly recommend them. Jack

A few more.

Had a problem attaching photo, Jack

Took the 47 out for the first top down ride for the year, it ran great!

I think that I would like to come look at your transmission. Jack

Any idea of the condition of the transmission? Is the car accessible?

Well, I really don't have very many extra parts, some extra bumper sections, and a bumper guard or two, and some hardware.

I'm hoping to get a transmission ready for the swap within the next couple of months.

Looking to purchase a rebuilt or rebuildable 3-speed manual transmission for my 56C. I am located in the Southern New Jersey area. Current transmission makes noise in first, likely bearings, and I'm looking to get another one to R&R it so the car is not apart for an extended time. Thank you. Jack

I've just snapped my left rear axle shaft in my 1947 Super. I would like to purchase one ASAP. Does anyone have one or know where I can get one?? I am located in Southern New Jersey. Thanks Much Jack

It is mounted on the portion of the panel that is parallel with the seats in the car, and it is about 3 inches down from the top of the arm rest. Jack

I have a 47 56C that has the dome switch,and yes, it is mounted on the left rear side panel.
