Mike Blais Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 This one is a 'two-fer' A Diamond T 921-DF surrounded by two B models. I took the picture on 10-01-2008, I went there to look at another Diamond T. The guy was real tough to deal with. The trucks were sitting in the outdoors, rotting away from the moisture. He wanted what they would be worth if they were running, driving trucks. He died and most of his stuff went to the scrapper. I think the fire engine may have been from Woodstock, Vt. I don't know where it went. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36506-diamond-t-trucks/page/3/#findComment-256218 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 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.

Popular Post maint1 Posted August 17, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2014 A couple of flatness, the orange one came from the Ct. Museum. Brought it in a few years ago with the Emeryville. Full load and got a lot of people riding along side of trailer to take pictures. One fool almost hit the drop deck. The small one has a load on ceramic pigs in it, should have took a better picture. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36506-diamond-t-trucks/page/3/#findComment-256286 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post maint1 Posted August 17, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2014 Sometimes you have a favorite, don't know why. It is a driver not original, came out of Wash. State and was restored in the 70's 318 Chrysler, pushbutton transmission. Brought it to my house a few years ago and got it running, put crossmembere and new floor in bed, all new brakes. Was road testing it and some putty fell out of the fender. Had to fix that (quick) to go to a show. One of those things you really like but don't know why. Going to bring it home again soon and play. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36506-diamond-t-trucks/page/3/#findComment-256293 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 The Trend and the blue one have been to the ATHS show in New Stanton, PA. This shot from '07 shows the blue one was once green.

Green Dash Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 The white one reminds me a of a Dodge Bighorn in a way with it's small cab and huge hood.The few that I've seen of this model have been dressed up but it looks great in basic form too.

j hancock Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Earl Gripp wanted more power and grafted a Buick engine to the little DT back in the day. I believe it was sold through an auction of Del De Young collection recently and I don't recall where it went. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Joe Ditchkus Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 The Diamond T with the snout went to the Keystone Tractor Museum Colonial Heights or Richmond, Virginia. The museum is right alongside I-95 on the southbound side. I spent the afternoon there in March. About 40 or more trucks restored inside and I think over 150 farm tractors restored inside also. Well worth the stop but you need at least 4 hours to enjoy it. Joe D.
