Diamond T 969

[john piercey]

Lionel ,thanks for that will get him researching in these sites hopefully,he has a Reo and T of late 60s vintage he is already underway with,but the 980-981 was his "holy grail' of wanted tucks.
i owned a 71 round cab Reo with 160 cummins and a later 73 model with 8v92t Ex Cutts transport in WA ,and showed him photos of the wartime T i had found languishing at the then Kununarra speedway,bad move, as he has found he loves them,he never thought he would score one,quite by accident,it is a long term affair as they are such big heavy vehicles and he knows it is going to cost him plenty.
cheers
