Tyrone Malone and the AMT Super Boss (1976-1982 era)

Jerry (Tyrone) Malone demonstrated patriotism in the way most fitting for him: He re-customized his renowned Boss Truck of America into the ”Super Boss” racing rig.

After Jerry Malone had the truck ultra-customized, he also changed his name to Tyrone Malone, “Mister D.D.D,” which referred to Daredevil Diesel Driver.

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.
