1948 Diamond T 201 One-ton Pickup Truck. Recent full restoration. Next-to-last model year for the Model 201. One of about 7,000 examples of the Diamond T 201. GM 350 CID V-8 crate engine with aluminum intake and Holley carb. 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission. Vintage air-conditioning, power brakes and split crank-out windshield. Black exterior and reupholstered gray-and-black interior with dual fold-out windshields. Original dashboard and gauges. 119-inch wheelbase and 8,000 GVWR. Side-mounted spare tire and amber fog lights If a unique classic truck with hidden modern conveniences sounds appealing, read on. It has also been upgraded with modern running gear to better cope with contemporary highway speeds. Dressed in shiny black, this truck’s paint and trim are in overall excellent condition, as expected after its restoration. The body is straight and solid, there?s a side-mounted spare tire on the passenger side, complete with Diamond T cover, a pair of amber foglights are perched over the front bumper and the cargo bed sports a wooden floor. A chrome front bumper and a black rear one fit tightly to the body. This Diamond rolls on Firestone Transforce HT tires, size 235/85R16 at every corner and each tire is mounted to a black, steel wheel. The tires and wheels are all in very good order. It has a 119-inch wheelbase and an 8,000 GVWR, signifying that even Diamond?s light-duty trucks were made for heavy-duty work. Under the hood is a GM 350 CID V-8 engine backed by a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission. This trusty combination allows this Diamond T to keep up easily with modern traffic. Driver convenience features include vintage air-conditioning, power brakes and a split windshield with separate crank-outs for each pane. Inside, the gorgeous black and gray cab has a gray split bench seat, black carpet and a gray headliner. A black, three-spoke steering wheel with a gray wrap echoes the rest of the interior?s tone, as do the black and gray inner door liners and the black metal instrument panel with the gorgeous original center-mounted gauges but the fuel gauge works intermittently and the horn, wipers are inoperable. Crank-out windshield panes and a floor-mounted shifter complete the interior.
