I've been able to find this same pic on the web, but there's a problem with that

The trailer is a Vagabond though.

this particular company had dealings with Diamond trucks in the late sixties, and the guy who ran the company was more famous for his other vehicle the 'Oldsmobile'

I'm guessing it is made by REO trucks or White (grille is probably too rounded for white though). I have seen some pics of White trucks with travel trailers with simular shape but none have the extended cab. REO trucks was founded by the same founder of 'Oldsmobile' (R.E.O. are the founders initials). REO, Diamond & White are all related through 'buy outs' over the years so it could be made by any of these (I'm guessing).

Ok. There are Skodas that have similar attributes. Time to check out Skoda. I'll be back...

I'm back, but no luck with Skoda.
Unless I missed it, I have scoured Citroen, Renault, Opel, Saab, Bugatti, Scania, Seat, Volvo, Peugeot, Abarth, Fiat, Lancia, Maserati, Setra, BMW, Lada, VAZ, GAZ, DAF, Auto Union....*gasp*

WooHoo! Yours is a bit jazzed up but it looked almost identical in body shape and it was easy to place the grille.
One question, how do I get a picture to display? Yeh, OK, Newbie.

Close. Its related to both as its chassis and engine are German, however it is not a European brand.
