I suspect it is the Boss-A-Bone.

Looking around the Internetz, it appears that the Boss-A-Bone was the first re-issue, in the 1970s, of the original "Blue Beetle." Which explains why it has the SCUBA gear, I guess.

Blue Beetle had those fine Cadillac valve covers, which as we all know disappeared from later releases.  The engine was called an Olds in some re-issues and a Chevy small-block in others.

Here's a list I found of the various issues, on That Other Magazine's forums:

Monogram: 1929 Pickup Truck (Roadster Pickup) 1/24 scale
1st Issued (60s): Blue Beetle
Reissued (70s): Boss A Bone
Reissued (70s): Early Iron Series
Reissued (70-80): ‘29 Ford Pickup; ‘29 Ford Roadster Pickup
Reissued (80s): Pickup Street Rod

That Boss A Bone is IMHO the best box art of all of them. Something about that particular Tom Daniel painting really makes me want to build that thing!

This would be my guess, since you specifically stated Monogram T:
