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

I took that picture at his house on rt. 45 near Farmville one day. I saw it sitting in the yard and turned around to go back and see it. Last time I talked to Gary. I think he said he wanted it because his Dad drove a similar one years ago. That might have been the one Gary actually drove to school sometimes. We went to school together, he was a year behind me. We ran double to California a couple of times before he was even old enough to run out of state. The company found out he wasn't old enough, and I quit and drove for H.H.Moore Jr. for the next 25 years. He could wheel, I can tell you that.

You are right about the wheeling . We got along great, I worked on the brakes for him right after He bought it. Let me know if you are going to Winchester, if Suzie is feeling better we will probably drive up the LTH log truck or the 55 Diamond T tractor, everyone seemed to enjoy the Emeryville last year, enjoyed the show.

Keep us posted, I hope Suzie is doing well. If y'all are planning on Winchester, i'll try to make that one. Might even see farmer and fix'em there.

I never had any personal experience with either Diamond T's or Reos but always thought these models were sharp cabin-overs..............................Mark

Uniontown, Pa. There were two Diamond T's or Reo's parked in back, a cabover and a conventional, still hooked to trailers. Been there for years.

I wish I had taken some pictures of it,but one of these sat next to a house on U.S. Route 40 in Carneys Point,NJ for 20-30 years,but was gone the last time I was through,i always thought it was home-made,never knew they were factory built..........................Mark

Yes, I just took that picture Friday but I couldn't see around back because some trucks were parked in front.

[2stacksuperdog]

I have to get a good pic of my departments '38 to post. all the ones i have are too dark

[Green Dash]

Here's a street view of Colliers in Uniontown from 2012. The conventional can be seen behind the bed of the blue and white Ford and the cabover is blocked by the cab. Google Earth aerial view shows them still parked there in June 2013.

I don't know what year this one is,but I took this at the South Jersey Shore chapter show at Woodtown,NJ around 1997/8 it was sharp and had just been finished................................Mark

Your picture of the Trend looks like the one Howard Fugate owns. .He had it at Winchester about 2011

The red little stake bed is a 1936 to 38 Model 80, 3/4 ton which preceeded the Model 201 1ton P/U

Yes, yes, and yes.

Thanks for posting the ads.

Found this one on the net.

Overdrive Magazine March 1970.

[Green Dash]

Nice. There's at least one more from that era in the TOTM section from another issue. It was a b&w photo but it had a very nice paint scheme and the description said it was burgundy and white. I'll try to find it if I have time later.

The Australian ads are interesting. The air cleaner and luberfiners are on the opposite sides from their U.S. counterparts. The C90D is my favorite Diamond Reo model. I like them so much I even bought one.
