1947 Diamond T #306 Comes home

Short & Paulk Supply Company was started in 1941 by my grandfather JP Short III. We are still going strong today and have been supplying Hardware, Lumber, and Building Materials throughout South Georgia for over 62 years. During the 40’s and 50’s We aslo sold farm equipment and were a distributor of Diamond T Trucks. I have some Short & Paulk stationary with the Diamond T logo and our origional phone number 97 listed on it.

This summer we bought back one of the origional model 306 1 1/2 ton flat beds trucks we sold in 1947. It was sold in 1947 to a local farmer to haul fertilizer on his farm. Prior to his death in the early 70’s he sold it to his neighbor who used it on his farm and then restored it to near mint condition in the 90’s. It was entered in several antique car & truck and won several trophy’s.

I had the truck lettered with our origional logo and phone 97 and will be happy to send you several pictures if you can send me an email address. It is just about all origional and has 31,000 miles on it. I plan to use the truck in local parades and advertizing.
