From the manufacturer:

The Diamond T was an American automobile manufactured in Chicago until 1911 by the Diamond T Motor Car Company. The name of the company means: “Diamond” for quality and “T” for Tilt, the name of the owner, Charles W. Tilt. Diamond T 4-ton 6×6 series trucks were introduced in production in early 1941, with 968/969/970 versions: covered cargo truck, heavy wrecker and dump truck. Later chassis of this truck were used as a universal platform for some special versions like an asphalt tank, water tank, crane or snowplow. All versions of the Diamond T truck served in the U.S. Army on almost all theaters of the Second World War, and later to the early 1950s. Some versions of this truck were used by British, Canadian and Polish military units in the Second World War too.
