In 1939 my father and his brothers bought 2 Diamond T 3/4 ton panel trucks. one was sold in the early 40's but my father kept his until 1963. I have many pictures of our beloved Diamond T, which was not only our work truck but also our family transportation until I got a car in 1951. I still have the emblem from the horn, and the nameplate from the engine compartment. I am delighted that other people share my affection for Diamond T's. Tom Karones

Hey! This may be old news to some of you, but was news to me, apparently Andy Rooney drove a Diamond T during WWII. I got the info from the book, "My War." Just thought it was interesting....

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.
