OD Your picture of the blue one taken at Macungie is one of the Osterman Giants, if you blow the picture up you can see the name. Some misc Diamond T COE styles over the years

Mike Love your roll back!! That was what I was thinking of putting on my 71' Brockway 358..

and watch the fuel gauge drop like a rock!!!!!

Today's odd ball Diamond T.. Jeff Lakaszcyck of the JOT WAI? forum first posted this about 4 years ago.. It is a prototype Emeryville built by Diamond T with DT badges on it.

Matt That COE with the diamonds in the grille was known as the Royale and the conventional with the same grille was the Raider. Both are fairly scarce today

That deal fell thru.. Give me a shout after Labor Day. 864-677-3453 In the very late 70's / early 80's the Osterman Group of Carlisle PA bought the dies and all the necessary parts and built Built the Diamond REO Giant untiol the mid 90's. They had to add the word Giant to them because Volvo tried to sue them. Osterman also used the air cooled Deutz diesel which had a very sloped down nose.

1 of 3 ever made.. Used by the DT main office to shuttle customers and dealers to and from the airport, train station, hotels and plant.

Carlotpilot Yes it is a single axle, 220 Cummins, R-96 RR, 4.10 rear on 24.5 rubber. It is the first Diamond T and the 1st tractor owned by Wrangler Blue Jeans.

Ken To add to Mikes correct answer: After White bought both REO and DT in the late 50's they closed the DT plant is Chicago and moved production to the REO plant in Lansing MI. White then built DT's, REO's, and special order heavy duty Whites all on the same line with a mix and match of sheet metal and Badges. On May 1st, 1967 White combined the two makes and created the name Diamond REO.

and Here is my show truck: 1949 model 201 professionally restored

As mentioned in Other Dog's Pictures of the Week that we should start a Diamond T / Diamond REO thread so here it is: First I will post a link to the Diamond T topic on Just Old Trucks. There are about 30 pages of pictures which will not have to be transfered and the right people will get credit for them. http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/11170/Diamond-T Here are my trucks to start: This is a 1959 model 921 sleeper in my barn;

Welcome to the zoo!!! Mostly Bulldogs with a few Huskies thrown in.. Do not know what to say??? Hang out with this bunch of old truckers and the BS will just flow naturally!!!!

Jim That is a good looking DR. It is basically the DT 931 which came out in 1961. Here is the 921 "China Closet" cab from about 1955 to 1960-1..

OD the #19 tractor is either a Diamond REO or a very late 64 to 67 Diamond T

Mark it is always an honor to be involved in local history. I am friends with the township historian from where I was born and raised in upstate NY. As a result I have copies of many Brockway truck from the local trucking company. She has also sent me elementary school class picture for help in identifying some of the other kids.

Thanks I thought I remember seeing it a Syracuse, but have not seen it a Cortland for the last few years I have been there. Are you going to bring it down to Cortland next month??? I am sure it will create a big discussion as some of the old factory people are around.

mandt428 Are you asking if the gears can be turned over to make it an OD??? I know it was done in the 9 & 10 speed Roadrangers but I have never heard of it on a Mack..

Is that the truck owned by the factory to haul the wood cab pieces in??? Think it was at ATHS Syracuse 2003?

Vlad Do not see a Marmon?? That last white cabover is a Diamond REO..

OD Thanks for the pictures.. I have not been across 40/48 since the new road has been finished.. Was thru Harpers Ferry last year on the way to Lititz, A beautiful part of the country. I enjoy your pictures each week!! Keep up the good work. Thanks Brocky

The All Brockway show is August 8th and 9th, In Cortland NY. Friday Husky Drive, meet and greet, BBQ dinner, Auction, and Fireworks. Saturday Parade and display on Main St. Museum open both days.

Larry You are right about never knowing the real reason behind the "resignation".. And yes it has been an ongoing process which started almost 3 years ago.

Go east from the TA about 1/2 to 3/4 mile.. She has a grey building on the right, driveway between her and what used to be a Texaco convienence store/ fuel stop, then the light for a cross street, go in the driveway thru the pumps and park then come out on the cross street and use the light to make your left to go back to I-95. Used to be an old produce haulers hang out and she had a map on the wall of all the packing sheds in the area. Like I said it has been 5 to 7 years since I hauled containers out of the ports and used to stop there, and the way a lot of the old Mom and Pop places have disappeared it is hard to tell even though she had a good local trade.

Yesterday, July 21st 2014, Mr. Bill Johnson tendered his resignation as Executive Director. No information is available as to why. ATHS will now be looking for a person well versed in the operation of a non profit orginazition.

Is Mrs. B's restraunt about 3 blocks east of the TA still in business???It has been over 5 years since I have run Pt Everglades. there.. She always had good food and room to park 8-10 trucks behind the Texaco next door>>
