Man I would LOVE to have a Diamond T. One of mine and Dad's all time favorites.

She's a beauty!

Wow. I'm not an art guy, but that looks like artwork to me.

When they were built, did they sell at a higher price and the regular rigs out there? I just wonder what it was considered compared to its competitors for appearance & quality when it was brand-new.

Beautiful,

When i get tires of my Mustang i want to get into a small Mack, Brockway or Diamond.

They were a premium brand. Sorta like comparing Caddy to Chevy or Lincoln to Ford

Diamon T's were in the U.S. military too. Would like to find a B model Mack from the Roadway fleet. Dad always cussed them, lol.

I need to post a bunch of Dad's old pictures going back to the 1930s of trucks he drove. You'd love those Brad

I don't get emotional too much, but the beauty of the truck, and imagining the amount of work put into this truck almost brought a tear to my eye.

It also reminded me of my uncle, who has gone to be with the Lord, and how he would've loved this old truck restored to this condition.
