rare chance to buy a 1940 Diamond T Texaco Fuel Tanker, unlitmate hot rod potential for a Count De Sakhnoffsky design styling masterpiece

it's in Florida, that's why it's so rusty. Listed on Craigslist: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/cto/3933221319.html

thanks Case!

A barnfind Diamond T that's been buried since 1965 among a families things in their barn brings a Bonneville connection

 Not very clearly written out on the webpage with these images is that this barnfind Diamond T was one of a few sold by the Utah dealership that was Ab Jenkins sponsor and trucking help during his Mormon Meteor II Bonneville record setting runs.

Above is from the same dealership, and since I've never posted a Diamond T tow truck, I had to do it.

1946 Diamond T model 404, looks right out of a 1940s movie

All I want for my birthday is this great old Diamond T fuel tanker, a billion dollars, and someone that will take the money and restore it

a 1930's is my guess.

At the Motor Transport Museum

Diamonds, in the rough

Everyone loves a big diamond right? This is the largest Diamond T ever made (1954 model 921). If I'm wrong, prove it.

This resides at the Motor Transportation Museum in Campo, and if you have knowledge or photos of this truck while it was in use, please let me know, and I'll pass it along, or email them direct. Or both!

there's a 1930's Diamond T at Disney California Adventure park... it surprised me, cool find!

Diamond T, not with a flatbed or trailer... so just used as transportation?
