Diamond T in Canadian service post war.
I have a Diamond T Wrecker ( 969B ) that came out of Alberta. The research I have done indicated it came from an auto wrecker in Calgary. Some Alberta MLU members may recall it sitting in Kananaskis Alberta beside highway 1 at a now abandoned gas station. My own research does tell me it served with Canadian forces as it had a distinctive cab conversion that we believe was done while in Canadian service. Another member of MLU George McKenzie also has a Diamond T with the same cab modification. I have restored mine to the original open cab design as used by Canada in Korea. The main exception is I have added a gun ring. I haven't been able to locate any pictures of Canadian using an open cab DT with a gun ring on it.If anyone knows anything about my DTs history I would sure be interested in hearing from you.
Thank you
Dan Jahn
