I saw the coolest Diamond T truck today

I was about a hundred miles from home this morning and I saw this very cool truck along the roadside for sale. I didn't see any rust and it is not beat up either. I have no connection to this item at all. I just thought the bodystyle plus the bed style make it very desirable and someone on here could maybe use it. I can picture it on the salt hauling motorcycles or a belly tank perhaps.
I would imagine it is not cheap but it is very cool.

 

I would love to have that! Dimond T's are way cool

 

Plus it came chopped from the factory!

 

36 to 37 only pretty sure.
38 went to the later style hood and grille but with very fine grille bars. Then 39 to 49 were the same.

Also, there were low cabs and high cabs, referring to windshield heights, not talking cabovers.

 

Here is a restored one

 

I agree a 1937 model 80 S....the 80 D had more gauges I believe this should be the standard model.

 

here is the gauges

 

Super cool. It really looks in great shape.

 

That is an awesome truck.

 

Oh Briiiiiiiiiiian....where are you? Somebody get Kalamazoo's Flyin' Brian on the phone...He needs to see this.

 

That is one sweeeeet truck!

 

That is very neat....

 

OH that,s nice!

 

I wouldn't do anything to that truck except drive the wheels off it ( well maybe I would pull the grille back out)



I think I'm in love

So,
Whats up with the Fourdor? parked next to it?? Looks like 39ish something

Inquiring minds want to know

He had some other stuff for sale but I was in a hurry and only looked at the Diamond T. I did not even notice a four door to be honest with you.

 

very nice!!! i'd take it too.

 

The truck is a 1936/7 model 80. The photos I posted are of a 1937 Model 80D.
You could buy the truck as a pickup or as a dually with no bed. My truck had a large welder mounted with no bed.

 

Beautiful Truck, Is that yours?

Welcome to the Hamb.

 

Those trucks were made to last. You probably could make 3 of the new P/U trucks with
the material in those trucks.

 

I'm surprised it didn't follow you home. HRP

 

NIce truck but i would think 30's due to the raked back grill,,,here's a '49

 

Haha! I see it! That's pretty cool all right. '36 or '37 Model 80 with an express box. One is all I can afford though...

This is yours? Beautiful, just beautiful. My 201 had a flatbed when it came home, but a square cornered one, a 9 footer and my truck had a single wheel rear, although it was the "high speed gears. I (sort of) did mine as a deluxe cab, like yours, with the dash insert, accent panels, stainless garnish moldings and w/s frames. If it had been fitted with a round corner bed like yours, I might have kept it, that looks great. M

I thought the same thing but was afraid his wife might find out I told him!
