This Diamond REO C11964DF is a used cab chassis truck — sometimes referred to as a cab and chassis — a commercial vehicle configuration in which the manufacturer supplies a complete cab, engine, and frame assembly, leaving the rear of the frame open for a third-party body or equipment to be fitted. Diamond REO was an American heavy truck manufacturer with roots in the mid-twentieth century, producing heavy-duty commercial trucks primarily for freight, construction, and vocational applications.
This 1973 example is located in Illinois, USA, and is offered for sale at $6,500. It is listed as a non-runner, which buyers should factor into their assessment of transport, restoration, and repair costs prior to purchase.
The truck is equipped with air-assisted steering, which reduces the physical effort required to manoeuvre a heavy vehicle of this type. It features a double frame, meaning the chassis rails are reinforced with an additional inner frame layer, a configuration associated with heavy-duty or high-load vocational use where frame rigidity and durability are priorities. The back-of-cab to end-of-frame measurement is 207 inches, providing a substantial platform for body mounting and giving body builders or buyers a precise dimension to work with when specifying a replacement or custom rear body.
The seller notes that the exhaust manifolds are currently located on the floorboard, indicating that significant mechanical disassembly has taken place and the truck is not in running or road-ready condition. Prospective buyers should account for the labour and parts required to return the drivetrain to operational status.
