The June 2026 issue of Diesel World brings together the kind of builds, history, and real world diesel culture that keeps the scene moving forward. Leading the issue is a farm truck turned show truck that is now turning heads everywhere it goes. Tony’s Diamond T proves that even the most unlikely machines can become something incredible with the right vision and craftsmanship. Inside you will find a strong lineup of diesel builds including Dawson Murphy’s show ready F 250 in Spruce, Ryan’s glacier gray F 250 that shows a work truck can still look sharp, and Chris Pingree’s 2018 F 250 known as The Redeemer. The issue also dives into Cory’s spicy third gen Ram and the rising diesel competition series Seventy2Fast that is bringing serious cash payouts and big excitement to the sport.
Beyond the trucks, this issue also looks back at diesel history with a revisit to a classic 2009 Diesel World issue and a dive into the moments that shaped diesel drag racing. Event coverage from Lone Star Throwdown and iDrive Throwdown brings readers into the heart of the action, while tech readers will appreciate the latest lighting upgrade from Morimoto with their XB Evo headlights for fourth gen Rams. With reader builds, new parts, show coverage, and the stories behind the machines, this issue delivers a full look at what diesel culture looks like right now.
