1949 Diamond T 201 1 Ton Pickup
US
$28,000
Here is an ultra rare opportunity. If you had one of these in the 1940s, you had the Cadillac of trucks. This is one of only 7000 model 201 Diamond T trucks made some 77 years ago. From 1939 to 1949 these Diamond T 201s were made. Diamond T was known for their large industrial trucks. The 201 was the smallest truck they produced but was still rated as a 1 ton. This is a very nice example. I have all five original hubcaps as well. Sets of these hubcaps sell for $3000.00 or more, if you can even find them. All the lights and gauges work, both sections of the windshield crank out individually to cool the driver and passenger, which is a cool feature. The body is very nice, no rot or rust through. Built like a tank. Diamond T did not make their engines, they came with an in-line, six cylinder, Hercules QX flathead engine. The truck has an in-line Chevrolet 292 6 Cylinder Engine. So easy to find parts if you ever needed them. The truck runs great. The original four-speed transmission shift as it should. Brakes are great and stop the truck straight. The clutch is fairly new. 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. located in North Hollywood, California.
