1949 DIAMOND “T” MODEL 201
Here is an ultra RARE opportunity. If you had one of these in the 1940’s, “you had the Rolls Royce of trucks!!!!”
This is one of only 7000 Model 201 Diamond T trucks made some 76 years ago. From 1938-1949 these 201’s were made. Diamond T was known for their large industrial trucks. The 201 was the smallest truck they produced. But was still rated as “one-ton.”
This is a very nice example. I have all 5 original hubcaps as well. Sets of these caps sell for $3,000 or more, if you can even find them. All the lights and gauges work, both sections of the windshield crank out individually……so cool!
Diamond T did not make their engines, they came with an in-line six cylinder Hercules QX engine. This truck has an in-line Chevrolet 292 six. So…..easy to find parts if you ever needed them.
If you wanted to go back to the Hercules engine, I have located a nice one for $1500 plus shipping.
The truck runs and drives exactly as it should and turns heads all day long. Its gorgeous. Located in San Antonio Texas with a clear Texas title.
