The love for old cars, old hardware, wonderful mechanics that give new life to dormant legends is wonderful.

My Daddy owned a 1955 full sized simi tractor, named "Mother Truck", as it ran when other rigs didn't, being an owner/operator, it was my family's LIFE LINE !! LOVE IT !!

@bluerazor7049 Год назад

It's shocking how tiny the Diamond-T is compared to other photos! I love the lesser known American truck brands such as it, R. E. O, Studebaker and a few others that came and went. As always, Clay does an amazing job!

@Ironcitygarage Год назад

We here shocked at the size when it arrived. Pictures make it like huge

@jimmycricket5366 Год назад

I agree with you, these obscure brands have a certain mystique and charm about them that make them so special.

@bluerazor7049 Год назад

@@jimmycricket5366 true, not to mention their uniqueness as well, it's like the obscure brands had a lot of tricks up their sleeve.

They were still building Diamond REOs in Harrisburg PA into the 1990’s.

@davidpiasano4722 6 месяцев назад

the diamond t 201 came with a dual rear axle when the stake bed was installed on it. Usually there were two wood beams with the rear axle cutout to install the bed on. Also that back area is where the two saddle hangers pinned the gas tank to the back of the bottom of the truck frame.

One of the most beautiful trucks ever created, it's great to see guys like you that appreciate such fine iron. Keep up the good work 👍✌️🇺🇲

@Brock_Landers Год назад

I live in New Brighton and I would LOVE to have this truck, but it'd have to get a 6bt 12 valve with a NV4500 swap and some kind of bed. I'd give it a nice deep maroon metallic paint job, powdercoat the frame, a full custom interior, and put a nice chrome stack on it with a perforated chrome heatshield. It'd also get some PAC 1218 valve springs, a Power Driven Diesel upgraded P pump, a MUCH bigger turbo, and maybe an upgraded cam. I always have great dreams, but I don't have the bankroll to back them up. Maybe later in life...

@Ironcitygarage Год назад

That sounds like it would be a awesome project 🙌

@davidsanders6957 7 месяцев назад

Excellent DREAM TO HAVE !! Hopefully you get to fill it !! Good luck, & God Bless to you.

Evening Pete & Clay, those Diamond T's are a definite money maker in any color....I would like to have a late 40's White 2264B....I had one many years ago, it was a tandem axle dump truck...

What was that music playing during the unloading of the trim pieces from the cab? Sounded like 1920's jazz.

@psl54rsniper Год назад

I think you will find that was a one ton pickup someone made into a one and half ton I have seen heavy pick ups made by mack and diamond t that had single wheels in the rear and a large stepside body. but you are right they chopped the frame.

Someone was definitely thinking up something when they were originally doing it

So your selling at a premium a 201 that’s had the frame destroyed, a sized motor, an unknown model dual rear axle and an added PTO and no bed because you messed up at auction and paid way too much.

That's a BITSA Diamond T truck - it isn't really worth much. That being said - I know you will price gouge some sucker desperate to own a 1941 Diamond T truck.

@Ironcitygarage Год назад

Gouge is a bit of a stretch. There’s this thing normal people do when buying and selling that you might be familiar with givin all your buying and selling knowledge called “negotiating”…..

@faerieSAALE Год назад

@@Ironcitygarage Negotiations? Naw, you think you have gold with this miserable wreck and want to cash in on it. I do know what pristine Diamond T - Reo trucks sell for, and if they are fully restored, the only "negotiating " that will be done, is with the wife when decide to spend $50 to 70K on an 80-year-old truck! The Semi Tractor rigs with a vintage trailer or reefer are much more than that! Good luck with your "negotiations" Hope you get a satisfying price for it.
