Hi everyone, I’m new to the forum and I’m looking to buy my first Diamond T.
I’m trying to find a a 400 or 500 series truck with the slightly longer nose.
I can’t afford a restored truck but would like a solid and complete base for a restoration.
If anyone knows of anything for sale, please let me know.
Thanks in advance, Andy
