It all depends on what condition it’s in, and how original it is, and how original you want it to be. (i.e. drivetrain, etc.) Despite my ’49 being very low mileage, I have seen some issues on it.

MY COMMENT : THIS DIAMOND T TRUCK EMBLEM “might” (?) “FIT” (?) A 1920’s DIAMOND T TRUCK. DAVID PAYNE

David, thanks for the reply. There is a factory Id plate located on the inside of the glove box but no vin number. The chassis number is 556644, MGW 48000. I haven’t found a vin plate or any stamped numbers anywhere else on the cab or hood. There was no title just a bill of sale with the chassis number.

Howard Helms : HAVE YOU LOOKED FOR A DIAMOND T FACTORY SERIAL NUMBER (?) FOR YOUR 1964 (?) , 1965 (?) , 1966 (?) DIAMOND T MODEL P5300 TRUCK BODY. NOTE: THE DIAMOND T FACTORY SERIAL NUMBER (?) ( stamped on to a tag ) { “might” } be located in the CAB , Passenger side , on (or) near the DASH.

Gary Nielsen: DOES YOUR 1948 MODEL 201 DIAMOND T TRUCK HAVE A { “HEATER” (?) } , located under the dash , passenger side } ( if , yes ? ) the coated cable ( “might” ? ) have been to control the water flow from the HERCULES engine { water (?) fittings , with a “HEATER CONTROL VALVE” and “COATED CABLE” } to the HEATER. DAVID PAYNE

I don’t know the 201, but if it has a Hercules, you could always try them…
