I’d have to research it Dylan, but I think it’s a bit bigger. The fenders on the 509 seem to be a lot wide than those on the smaller trucks.

Are you referring to that sheet metal piece that goes underneath the grille between the fenders? If so, yes I am looking into starting to stamp those on a basis of demand. Is there any physical difference between the one for the 201/306 and the 509?

Hello Dylan, missed your post! Are you thinking of including the 509 for the front apron piece? A lot of 509 owners out there and that seems to be a piece that gets smacked up the most.

Welcome Trent,
Glad you have an interest in Diamond T trucks! They were the Cadillac of trucks of their time! I have a ’47 509 and joined this site to gather and share information with other enthusiasts. If there are any trucks for sale here, you’d have to look in the classifieds section. Other than that, keep an eye on the internet as they do come up for sale from time to time.
