Man. Neither one of these guys really knew anything at all about this great old Diamond T
C'mon, the guy doesn't know its a 4-sp w/ 2-sp rear axle, making it an 8 speed? Limited to 30 mph, are they driving it in low-range? Sounds like a tappet-clatter or exhaust-manifold leak. Sweet ol' truck though. The chroming of the misc bits and all the steel trailer-and-door hardware is exceptional. What an absolutely class-act stealth camper this rig would make. Put-in a couple roof skylight-vents and you could stealth-camp almost anywhere, just limit you're comings-and-goings. Course, you'd have to overdrive it, or re-gear the diff, maybe bump-up the hp with a super-charger or repower. That old flattie maybe pumps-out 60 hp max (w/ aviation gas) ...
the knocking sound is actually the air compressor.
Sounds like it has a rod knocking. :/
That is the air compressor.
It goes alot faster than 30mph they just choose to drive it at that speed... They can go 55-65
Im looking at it right now on the freeway
Sounds like the engine needs a rebuild . She’s knocking
Ever try 2 ND gear in the two speed axle? Holy Crap!
God it sounds like crap what's up with it?
It sounded just fine, the knocking sound you hear is the trucks air compressor.
Remember seeing that truck sitting in a shed at the Colton dist center in the late 80s early 90s. when I was in there to deliver product.
Beautiful job
Sweet looking truck. I've heard of Diamond T, but I've never seen one in person. :)

That is the air compressor.
Dude didn’t make any sense
big fan of diamond t's ===what model is this
very humble...nice!!!
What kind of engine is powering the truck? Is it a diesel engine?
If you know just a little bit about old engines, you old see that it is a side valve or flathead 6 cylinder. Virtually all Diesel engines have overhead valves. The spark plugs are visible which is an indicator that it is a gas engine.
@@tracylemme1375 I've never seen a Diamond T Truck before, so no, I don't know about the engines these trucks were powered with.
@@jasoncarpp7742 it's a Diamond T flat head industrial 6 cylinder gas engine, very few trucks were diesel back then
Almost certainly the engine is a Hercules inline flathead 6 made in Canton, Ohio. My father had a Diamond T Model 80 one ton farm truck that was running until about 1956. I drove it in the fields.. I am 80 now.
