HeavyGunner Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I hate when old premium brands are brought back but the quality isn’t there. Maybe this truck will prove us wrong but I highly doubt it.

RoadwayR Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Wasn't there a couple of attempts at reviving Diamond T here? Don't know what happened to the last one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james j neiweem Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Doesn't somebody still have the rights to the diamond reo name. Volvo , Oterland or T-Line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macks in nigeria Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Looks was like one of the Chinese Ford truck that put up here sometime by Kscarbel2.Soon there will be a White House replica in one of the Chinese provinces then someone will wake up.

BillyT Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Ain't this a damn shame! There was an outfit in Pennsylvania that was building a version of the Diamond Reo, was a glider kit I think. It actually resembled the last Diamond Reos! That thing sure doesn't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a copy of the Volvo FH created back when SinoTruk (aka. CNHTC) had a joint venture with Volvo (just styled like the FH.....no Volvo technology).

Maddog13407 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 don't really care for it but i do know some of the last Diamond Reo's circa 1968 69 with fiberglass hood might have had the gold comet but were some of the worse pieces of junk on the road. wouldn't hold up worth a shit in the construction industry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmackpaul Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 It was less than a 100 Im reckon I read some where They are a mob on the Hume hwy around Cambell Field Melbourne , cant think of the name now They were a major engine rebuilder and gear box mob and all manor of truck parts and wrecking as well Not to be confused with the mob in Perth also doing DiamondReos as well around the same time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) T-Line may have the rights to a Diamond Reo look a like. They build a custom truck, Diamond Reo looking Cummins engine Allison & Eaton transmissions & rears, Hendrickson suspensions. They have a web site. T-line Whitman chassis. They build gliders also. Looks like it may be an opportunity to stick an E-7/E9 into a glider. Edited June 27, 2018 by james j neiweem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
