Post by Miner Matt »

I took these pictures today I though I would share them with you.
Can anyone identify the International? I always wanted a Dimond T even broke down they look pissed.They are a little more than I want to tackle for a restore.Maybe someday I will bye one already restored.If anyone is interested let me know and I will tell you where this one is (N.California). It's all there but the glass.

The IHC is a KB model ,maybe a KB5 or a KB7 that stlye was made for MANY years

Just because it has a driven front axle doesn't always mean it's military.
If that's what your question is.
Hope this helps

Hi Miner Matt,
Is the diamond T you took picture of for sale?
Do you have contact details of the trucks owner?
I am located in New Zealand, and need front bush guard and radiator with top cover. I have a 969a wrecker that i'm rebuilding.

Thanks,

Brent Delaney.

Hi Brent

Give Steve Greenberg a try he is located in Washington State
He has some 4 ton parts avail, he may have what you need. And he is the closest to you I can think of.
He logs on to G503.com usually in the armor or tracked forums.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply John,
I have spoken with Steve last year about DT parts, he did have a couple of bits but thats as far as it got, I may need to touch base again.

Cheers,

Brent Delaney.
