Summer of '75 I started driving a mixer for the local readymix company, the shop Forman had me hop in the company pickup and we drove 20+ miles to the Cummins engine shop to pickup my truck, a '74 Diamond REO, little 555 Cummins V-8 5 speed Allison auto Trans and a 3 speed Brownie. I will say that truck had THE NICEST INTERIOR of any big truck I ever drove. Fake walnut vinyl decal on the instrument panel, but everything worked. Wasn't a fan of the Allison at first. Only had 50,000# license on it, a 7 yard load had me around 52,000#, and it had a 9 yard drum! Last time I saw that truck it was sitting in a big truck junkyard, was missing the drum, but would have made a great farm truck with about a 20 ft grain box installed, 5 or 6 ft sides. It had 38,000# Hendrickson walking beam rear suspension and 20,000# frt axle, big BEEFY thing, Super singles on frt, duals on rear. The hydraulic pump to turn the drum stuck out ahead of the frt bumper about 3+ ft. BOSTRUM air ride driver's seat, matching passenger seat minus the air ride. Cab was painted CONSTRUCTION ORANGE.
