It makes sense that the Wrecker is a Diamond T 969 then (from the serial) as I have photos of assembled Canadian DT 969 Wreckers. Chrysler supplied the bodies, which used Gar Wood cranes?

Here is a Canadian Diamond T that looks as though it has a Machinery body, circa 1943. Which model would that be then? The Canadian 975A? Looks too short though...969?

Hi Dave
Yes You are right..That is the 975A model ..201" WB,with the "H" machinery body..
The "H" body was had a large lathe with a 16" chuck,a couple of drill presses ,work benches and even a small stove in it for inclement weather and char..
The tell tale stovepipe is usually located at the front flap of the tarp..
