1939 Diamond T, dually, with a 6-cyl Hercules engine.
Diamond T Motor Car Co. founded in Chicago by C. A. Tilt. His shoe-making father fashioned a logo featuring a big "T" (for Tilt) framed by a diamond, which signified high quality. The company was later acquired by the White Motor Co. which merged it with the REO truck company, to be known as Diamond Reo.
Rusty gold as the American Pickers would say. vz
Nice shots, love the perspectives and story of the brand
Nice shots--I remember the old Diamond T’s being on the road.
Nice find. Looks very restorable to me.

The 1939/49 model is the classic American truck. That one appears to be very restorable.
