Chuck Most Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Stumbled across this while looking for some reference pics, and thought it was too cool not to share. http://bangshift.com/general-news/videos/awesome-video-a-1967-documentary-that-tells-the-tale-of-a-diamond-reo-dump-truck-that-conquered-the-african-safari-rally/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superpeterbilt Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Thanks for posting this. Ive seen pics of this truck before, I think in a magazine, but I didnt understand the significance. This explains it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLMFAA1 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Very interesting about the truck, When I first saw the Hot Rod magazine article about the mercs I found the AMT Caliente (flower power series/ craftsman series) and used the rally pack from the Falcon kits and made up other items, These were the only CA plates I had back then, The project got stopped at the decal stage and to celebrate the 50th anniversary I am posting pictures of my unfinished project greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Cool! That Mercury's on my to-do list for a few years, and now the Diamond Reo has been since I saw this video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
