My Daddy owned a 1955 full sized simi tractor, named "Mother Truck", as it ran when other rigs didn't, being an owner/operator, it was my family's LIFE LINE !! LOVE IT !!

It's shocking how tiny the Diamond-T is compared to other photos! I love the lesser known American truck brands such as it, R. E. O, Studebaker and a few others that came and went. As always, Clay does an amazing job!

the diamond t 201 came with a dual rear axle when the stake bed was installed on it. Usually there were two wood beams with the rear axle cutout to install the bed on. Also that back area is where the two saddle hangers pinned the gas tank to the back of the bottom of the truck frame.

I live in New Brighton and I would LOVE to have this truck, but it'd have to get a 6bt 12 valve with a NV4500 swap and some kind of bed. I'd give it a nice deep maroon metallic paint job, powdercoat the frame, a full custom interior, and put a nice chrome stack on it with a perforated chrome heatshield. It'd also get some PAC 1218 valve springs, a Power Driven Diesel upgraded P pump, a MUCH bigger turbo, and maybe an upgraded cam. I always have great dreams, but I don't have the bankroll to back them up. Maybe later in life...

Gouge is a bit of a stretch. There’s this thing normal people do when buying and selling that you might be familiar with givin all your buying and selling knowledge called “negotiating”…..

@@Ironcitygarage Negotiations? Naw, you think you have gold with this miserable wreck and want to cash in on it. I do know what pristine Diamond T - Reo trucks sell for, and if they are fully restored, the only "negotiating " that will be done, is with the wife when decide to spend $50 to 70K on an 80-year-old truck! The Semi Tractor rigs with a vintage trailer or reefer are much more than that! Good luck with your "negotiations" Hope you get a satisfying price for it.
