Ex US Army WW2 recovery truck info request

Information, preferably photos, of Diamond T and / or GMC M543 ex US Army recovery vehicles sought for scale model project.

I can remember that locally O G Barnard of Stowmarket in Suffolk operated a Diamond T and I think that Ben Cooper of Claydon (near Ipswich) operated both a T and GMC wrecker trucks.

Any info would be very much appreciated and all reasonable costs will be reimbursed.

There was always a Diamond’T’ wrecker stood on jct 23 truckstop at Shepsted but I have not seen it for a while, if you give Fred Sherwood at ring at Shepshed they might be able to put you in touch or when I go on this week to fill up II see the old boy on the pumps and get some info if poss for you.

Rod,
I’ve got a few black and white pics of Diamond Ts left behind in the Northern Territory after the war and used in road train operations. They are not very big or well detailed, so let me know if you don’t get what you want from elsewhere and I’ll post on here or email.

Salut, David.
