I give up. another "for lack of explanation/words" story = try working at a Mack dealership ,going on almost every road call to hear "why does a Mack dealership have a Diamond T wrecker ?" you just give up trying to give answers. the temptation was there to remove the Diamond T front logo and install a Mack emblem. fortunately with the major help from a great co-worker ++Doug Allen ; we talked management into update the Diamond to a good used B model. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75934-does-anyone-know-who-makes-mark-trucks/#findComment-582313 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brocky Posted Sunday at 05:48 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:48 PM I get the same question at shows with my 1949 Diamond T 201 pick up.. Who made Diamond T??? Thus a long history lesson of how Charles Tilt started in 1905 up thru White's merger of DT and REO in 1967. A few have heard of Diamond REOs so that helps. 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75934-does-anyone-know-who-makes-mark-trucks/#findComment-582325 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Geoff Weeks Posted Sunday at 05:52 PM Popular Post Share Posted Sunday at 05:52 PM Diamond T and IHC, both shared a fair bit over the years, with Diamond T even using some IHC engines, but there was never any doubt which had more "bling" or was the upscale Mfg, that has always been Diamond T! 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75934-does-anyone-know-who-makes-mark-trucks/#findComment-582328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted Sunday at 11:34 PM Share Posted Sunday at 11:34 PM Geoff, You are entirely correct, Up until White bought them out!!! Diamond T had the Murty Bros design the low cab forward tilt cab city tractor and International liked it so much they bought the rights to it from DT. But then had DT do a "Two Story Falcon" job on it and it became the Emeryville.. Here is a picture of the prototype with Diamond T badges taken at the Diamond T plant.. The glass brick windows are the same as in many DT factory and sales information. 2 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75934-does-anyone-know-who-makes-mark-trucks/#findComment-582357 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Brocky Posted yesterday at 12:58 AM Popular Post Share Posted yesterday at 12:58 AM YES!! Tom Warren and his son Bub of Amarillo TX did the 3 year frame off restoration. Finished in 2009. It now has some scratches, especially in the bed as being the chapter show coordinator it gets loaded with tables, chairs, tent, and misc handouts so I do not have to drag the out of my trailer. 5 1 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75934-does-anyone-know-who-makes-mark-trucks/#findComment-582366 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the Diamond T name came from Charles Tilt's father who owned a shoe factory. The diamond stood for quality and the T for the name Tilt. 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75934-does-anyone-know-who-makes-mark-trucks/#findComment-582421 Share on other sites More sharing options...
