Hemmings Find of the Day – 1948 Diamond T

Even among odd rods, you don’t see too many big trucks modified in the street rod style. If you do, normally they remain haulers for dragging around a more traditional car-based street rod. Which is why this 1948 Diamond T currently on Hemmings.com tickles our funny bone. Sure, it’s got the standard small-block Chevy V-8 and many other “700 Club” touches, but it appears well done. Plus, it’s a Diamond T! Offered for $39,500 out of Texarkana, Texas. From the seller’s description:

Now if only somebody would adapt a belt-driven tandem axle to it, like on the ‘56 Diamond T we saw last month.
