North Korean Diamond Ts????

RDWeeter - Jul 15, 2005 - 10:51 PM

Here is a tantalizing tidbit... Apparently after WWII, North Korea couldn’t get permission or didn't have the capital to import heavy equipment such as Russian tractors and specifically, American Diamond T trucks – so they simply disassembled them and copied them without license. If this is true, it may mean that there are still counterfeit Diamond T trucks out there (at least in Korea). Now THAT would be a conversation piece. Got the tidbit from the book below....
