DWF Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Did White trucks have Diamond T and Reo and then combine them to Diamond Reo? Around 1974 I was looking for a new heavy tandem and got a price on a Diamond Reo and remember the sales person saying someone else had purchased Diamond Reo by that time. I ended up buying a not too old Ford LT9000 though. DWF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bud guy Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 The oil field here is littered with old and older classic trucks like that. Maybe tomorrow I will take a picture of a IH drilling rig that I know of that will blow your mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoilerRed Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 When I was growing up one of our neighbors was an independent trucker. First truck I remember him having was a Diamond T cabover. Sometime in the early 70's that was replaced with a Diamond Reo cabover. Nice trucks, he was very proud of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall anyone I know having one I have seen a dump like that one around here I wonder if one of big construction outfits had a fleet of them at one time. The long haul trucks would have all been sleepers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
