Two of them. I was sitting at a stop sign when one went by. It had a big custom sleeper and a small back deck with a goose neck hitch built in. He turned down a side road not far from my place, so I followed him. It was an early sixties with an International R cab. Where he pulled into there was another one of the same vintage sitting there. The other one belongs to a guy that I know of but have never met. He is in the process of building a big custom sleeper onto it. I suppose I should go back and get pics for you.
 
Well me I do not like the Diamond Reo's but do like the Diamond-T. Diamond-T bought out Reo back in the late 50 or early 60s and then made both Diamond-T and Diamond Reo till a gov contract made Diamond got bankrupt. That said I wish I could find a good 220 Cummins engien to put in my 1963 Diamond-T 990
 
I remember about 40 or 50 years ago there was a Diamond T pickup that would come to town. It looked rugged enough to be a one ton. There was also a Plymouth and Hudson pickup in town.
 
I have a '48 Diamond T unrestored
pickup. Had it about 28 years. Maybe
after I retire I can get it restored.
Drove a 71 Diamond Reo tri axle dump
early in my driving career. Was
driving it in 1975 when White corp.
went thru their restructuring and quit
building them. Getting parts become
hard when the group from Pa. started
buing them all up. Creature comfort
of the D-R was ahead of their time.
Very fancy for that day.
 
A good friend from Bloomsdale, MO rebuilt a 3/4T Diamond T. Beautiful red one that he later sold to a guy in Long Island, NY.
