For this model the register lists a six-cylinder engine, a gross weight of 2,565 kg against a kerb weight of 1,890 kg, giving a payload of 675 kg. The wheelbase is 3,000 mm, the width 1,820 mm, and the vehicle runs on four wheels, with an open loading bed behind the driver's cab.
With a gross weight of 2,565 kg, this Pick Up sits in the light commercial vehicle class, well below the heavy lines for which Diamond T was primarily known. The six-cylinder engine matched the engine size typical for a vehicle of this size in the post-war period and was aimed at commercial buyers with smaller loads.
For a vehicle this old, the condition of corrosion on the frame, wings and loading bed matters most, along with the condition of the six-cylinder engine and its ancillaries. Since the brand no longer exists as an independent maker, spare parts for a Diamond T of these years are available only through the specialist classic-vehicle parts market, mostly through clubs dedicated to historic commercial vehicles.
