Vehicle Description
1948 Diamond T Truck
The Diamond T Motor Car Company was founded in Chicago in 1905 by
C. A. Tilt. Reportedly, the company name was created when Tilt's
shoe-making father fashioned a logo featuring a big "T" (for Tilt)
framed by a diamond, which signified high quality. The company's
hood emblem on trucks was a sled dog in harness. From its
beginnings manufacturing touring cars, the company later became
known for its trucks. By 1967, as a subsidiary of White Motor
Company, it was merged with REO Motor Company to become Diamond REO
Trucks, Inc.

upped by a four-speed transmission and Eaton 1350 two speed rear
axle it could really get the job done. Maximum GVW is 13,500 lbs.
