Couple more

 

Another one

 

nice moo juice hauler..liken it's smaller size...the tanker in the first pic is badass too.

 

Oh.... Where are they now?? I love diamond T's

 

what is this .. some sort of tanker?

 

How long do you think it was before the roof of the wood and coal hauler was caved in from firewood bouncing off the load? Thanks for the pics!

That little milk van, I'd rock that as a daily driver.

 

gotta love them T's

 

cool T's....

 

Man, I want that Texaco truck so bad!

 

Here is one 454 Chevy and motorhome chassie

 

I need that load of firewood.

 

The Diamond F meat company had other company ties apparently

 

Semi

 

My other favorite were these little White Mustangs.

 

one more for the road

Thanks for posting. Diamond T sure built some******in trucks. There have been some converted to hot rod use with automotive big block power that really turn some heads.

Great pics thanks

 

I want the TEXACO fuel truck..........

 

Sure seems like those Diamond-Ts were a lot lower slung than their competitors. These have to be 1.5 -2 ton trucks but look where the tops are relative to the drivers' heads.

 

I could picture that Texaco tanker as a close quarter motorhome equiped like a submarine.

 

Two 1936 surviving twins were dug out of their thirty-year slumber by a friend and I right here in the middle of Iowa. We had grand plans to use the dashboards in our hotrods, and sell the rest. The trucks were then bought by the same fella, and now reside in Bozeman Montana. He is going to restore them. I am going to use my dash in a '32 Ford roadster.

 

I stand corrected the small Coe White's were the 3000 series.

 

Great pics. My dad worked for REO Motors in Milwaukee, then Denver in the late 40s-50s. Diamond T was one of the brands they serviced as well as others. He was a****mins diesel mechanic. I'll see if he has any pics to show.

 

I work for Spartan Motors which was started by ex Diamond REO employees. We had a truck show with a bunch of the old Diamonds. They were sharp trucks.
