We have to agree with Mr. Tilt as the Diamond T’s are the Cadillac of all Trucks! With a sales slogan of “The Handsomest Truck in America” Tilt copied passenger car styling in every way, including such innovations in the truck world as a veed two-piece windshield and sweeping skirted fenders. More at: http://www.motoexotica.com/inventory/listing/1935-diamond-t-3100-one-ton-stakebed-pickup We here at MotoeXotica Classic Cars are very proud to present one of these handsome Diamond-T trucks that are very hard to come by. This 1935 Diamond-T 211-AD Deluxe steak bed truck that has been beautifully restored by a previous Diamond-T collector. Dressed in red, the truck’s paint and trim are in remarkably good condition, considering their age, however there are small blemishes at close inspection but overall this truck stands beautifully. Handsomely built, the truck features a vee-d chrome grille, chrome front bumper, split windshield and flowing fenderlines commonly found on cars of the era. That windshield and the rest of the truck’s windows are in overall great shape while its lights are in good condition. Overall, the truck’s bodywork is straight and solid, the front bumper fits tightly to the body. And the truck rolls on Denman wide whitewall tires, size 8.50-20, at all four corners. Instead of wooden artillery wheels or simple steel rims topped with wheel covers, this Diamond features six-spoke, body-colored metal wheels with small chrome center caps, another break with conventional 1930s truck wisdom. Out back is an oaken bed with side stakes that looks fantastic. Under the hood is a 236 CID JXA Hercules six-cylinder engine buttoned to a three-speed manual transmission. In 1926, Diamond T changed from the Hinkley 4 cylinder engine to the stronger Hercules 6 cylinder flat head engine with a 4-inch bore and a 5-inch stroke. The new Hercules engine had special aluminum connecting rods although cast-iron pistons were retained and had a staggering 60-horse power. Inside, the truck’s brown leather bench seat is in very good order while its headliner is in decent condition. The factory three-spoke steering wheel is present and in good order but the standout is the instrument panel. With its bright chrome accent panel and full array of gauges, including a clock, the panel is quite eye-catching and a surprise find on a workhorse like this. “Trucks don’t have to be homely,” is a tagline that Charles Arthur Tilt, who founded Diamond T, often told his employees. After dabbling with building custom-bodied cars sold locally for a few years, Chicago’s Charles A. Tilt responded to a customer’s request in 1911 that paved the way to a financially profitable future – could he build a truck? Diamond T trucks soon garnered a reputation for high quality parts and assembly practice.
