Data plate is pretty goofed up and per the door decal it was used as a drilling Co truck after service. I can't find a model ending in 967.


It's my fathers, located in Western KS and he uses it to lift things, but I'd like to get some TM's for him.

Yeah it looks like someone modified an International bed to fit, I'll keep digging, but even the winch frame looks the same design.. it's a crappy photo that I enlargedInternational.jpg

Portrayal Press has all the manuals. They will apply to the wartime trucks, but the design did not change much.

They have an old Diamond T at the (sort of) local transportation museum here. It's actually in Campo, CA, about an hours drive for me. Lot's of cool trucks and equipment and some military ones as well.

If you're in the San Diego area or close by and want to see some interesting vehicles, it's free (donations accepted). Everything is outside, so plan accordingly.

This Diamond T hauls a load up to 170,000 lbs, oh my!

Absolutely. And then document that in a thread:
- You won't imagine how many people on-board here would eat that up (and I'll be first in-line). :drool::drool::naner:
