IDK Mech, the heavy diesel Diamond Reos were pretty much a Diamond T

I have a picture of a beautiful '73 in my office. I know the family that bought it new and had it until the late '90s. When I was a kid, I had no idea there'd be a time I'd be putting heads on it. Never dreamt I'd be the guy orchestrating the sale of it either. I have a soft spot for Diamond Reos

Been trying to snag this for several years

They looked great with a dump body . Not to say they didn't look good in other applications.
-
They bought Reo for the engines.
-
Did Sheller Globe make them ? After White sold the division they were some form of the Autocar Drivers cab
-
There's an axle forward Raider (C119)
-
I'm pretty sure The Raider and Royale (& The Rogue) were between when White owned them and Osterlund took over. I know The Raider was only produced for seven months between '74 and '75.

You're thinking of Hemp(t) Brothers. They had lots of Osterlund trucks . They were right there in the same area. Lots of those Osterlund Diamond Reos had L10s in them too. They were popular in all types of construction trucks. Mixers, dumps,block trucks. They were popular around here, and it's not out of the question to see some form of Diamond Reo still at work.

Carperet or something . He was some oil guy with lots of money. Osterlund got about another 20 years outta Diamond Reo (Giant) They were tough trucks. Seemed like years ago, guys with Diamond Ts or Diamond Reos had lots of pride in them. They were handsome trucks.

I thought he got flown off in a helicopter. 😏 made me think about a scene from the movie Scar Face

That's a Diamond Reo Rogue. Around 1974/1975 some oil guy purchased the Diamond Reo brand from White. They had all sorts of ideas for new models. Like The Rogue, The Royale ( big highway cab over ) my favorite The Raider ( their fancy truck with a huge radiator ) along with the normal C114 (?) models . The Rogue was aimed at refuse collection and city delivery type applications. Sadly though, the company was bankrupt in under 2 years.

It's called pouting. You may have seen behavior like that with a spoiled 5 or 6 year old.

Crazy part is he makes more sense than most any other democrat in the public spotlight.
