kscarbel2 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I recall UPS running Diamond T 931s into the 1970s. But it was the later Diamond Reo Royale that really impressed me. The engineering was ahead of its time. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53713-62-diamond-t-coe-cl/#findComment-401848 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was the later Diamond Reo Royale that really impressed me. The engineering was ahead of its time. I recall an article in Wheels of time about how frugal UPS was in the early days and would rebuild/repower everything they had. IIRC there was a pic of a step van with a Diamond T center cap on the steering wheel from the 60's but it had been repowered with a ford 300 six. Those 931's were probably in really good shape. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53713-62-diamond-t-coe-cl/#findComment-401866 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even packed up and went to Israel with me in 1972 to fight and back to the states in '74. Not ever a question or a second thought.

BillyT Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Tragic how all those UPS Diamond Ts and Reos got scrapped they were so well maintained! My cousins buddy had one of those Diamond T cabovers anyone remember Bill Sheffer out of Breezewood Pa? Ran Diamond Ts was a columnist for Overdrive also. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53713-62-diamond-t-coe-cl/#findComment-402536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
