Diamond T yay or nay?

Hello.
I picked up this Diamond T,it's a 58-49 702 series I think.
I've only seen Flying Brian's on here..
What's the hamb think of them?

 

I think they are OT.

 

Thats a Yay from me. From ones that I have seen pictures of they can be turned out right nice.

 

Go for it. That way you won't have a cookie cutter vehicle. What is OT about it ?

 

Those were a Premium Truck in their day.The dash and the header panel are a work of art.To call it OT seems a little short sighted.I would love to see what Jeems could pen up.

 

Diamond T's are cool ! I am the same how to be OT? Pre 65 and NOT a import,
How can you say this truck isnt sexy..

 

An extended or super cab version of the blue one would be realy cool. It would give more room in the cab & shorten the bed, giving it a WOW factor........probably more nonsense than .02 cents.....but.....

 

Cool. Yay.
The headlights are already lowered. You're halfway there. That leaves you enough time to extend the cab a little, weld on the rear end of an old Mopar or something to make it a big fat coupe, and build a chopped Cabriolet roof.

Good luck with it, flattie!

 

Cool looking truck, I always thought the diamond T’s made really slick rigs and trucks in there day.

good enough for spider mike in convoy !
I dig it!

 

I'm going to a truck show in Perris, CA today. I'm sure they'll be a couple there. I'll snap a couple of photos for ya. This one might be there but I'm sure there will be some smaller ones as well.

 

I’ve always like the Diamond T’s , stick that cab on Cummins Dodge chassis and keep on truckin

I like them a lot and I grew up with my dad owning several military ones both wreckers and cargos

 

Yah, here's a cool one i saw last year....!

 

i had a 47' 509 with a 5.9 cummins in it. beautiful trucks

 

The cab and trim are a work of art.
I'm thinking 1 ton pick up in the future.
The grille is does not belong on this truck,it's for a smaller truck but I will try to make it fit and look good.

 

Show was a bust. Only 2 Diamond T's.

 

Thank you @51504bat

 

When I first glanced at this pic, I thought damn that exhaust stack is tall.

 

Oh I forgot, yay.

 

If the HAMB has issues start a thread in the COE group.

 

I like them ,but then I have one.

 

It's a yay from me, with good body works and finishing it will come out dazzling

I'm a big fan of this Art-Deco kind of stylin' I want 1 to pull a trailer. This is 1 being built by a fellow hamber out in CA.

 

Yes from me . It looks like good bones for a project.
Trucks 2 ton and larger are OT (off topic ) on the main board. I had pictures of my 1 1/2 ton 42 Chevy deleted off the main board. That's how I know . I didn't point out that the truck was a 1 1/2ton . The moderators can get testy.
1 1/2 ton trucks and larger are welcome here on the Antiquated

 

I'm a fan of big trucks, hence my screen name 5150 (CA W&I code for crazy and 4 bat (big ass trucks). I understand no large trucks on the main board. I wish it wasn't the case but not my site, not my rules.
I'd kill for a short wheel base 39-47 Ford COE but I don't think a divorce is a good idea right now.

 

Mine the rendering above is useing the stock frame, and but all suspension from 1 ton square body dually, so it’s a 1 ton.

 

Indeed, Diamond T's are very cool.

 

Beautiful trucks...
I like the grille and swoopy fenders on the earlier models but I like the cab and window openings on mine...it looks chopped already

 

Local one turned out real nice. Bob
