Ran them for 10yrs... They were the last trucks produced by the original Diamond Reo truck company... They were put together from all the remaining parts in the factory at end of 1975... They had no cabs so they purchased the cab from another company to complete the unit. It took a lot of adjustments to get them on the road working daily, but once tunned in they lasted 10 years working a six day work week running 8 to 10 hours a day... Thats the first comment from someone who was involved with one of these Diamond Rio trucks.Have you any pictures?
