And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
It's a Diamond-T with the International Harvester "Comfo-cab". They had that cab until the White Motor Company bought Diamond-T, merged them with REO and used the White "Drivers Cab". That merger produced the Diamond-Reo. Picture looks like it was taken in the Okanagan Region of BC in the late 50's. Gorman Bros is still operating there.
Great info, C-Warrior! I appreciate the additional knowledge, and I really like that Gorman is still in business. Diamond T was a top of the line truck, and it probably lasted longer in that rough business than lesser trucks. Another great old brand I wish was still around.
Sorta looks like it, but the ones in my neck of the woods weren't semi's.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a Marmon.
