I think this one has changed hands a few times in recent years and the cost of petrol cannot help.
If it is the one I am thinking about it started life as a Bridge Carrier and subsequently ended up with this body during a post war rebuild (ex-Denmark?). Still a very rare truck. |

I don't know of any exact numbers, but I guess several thousands of long wheelbase Diamonds must have been built under canadian contracts.....but how many of these T975's survive today?
The Dutch army picked up quite a few from the vehicle dump in Deelen, but I don't know if any of these survive today(?). The Danish army sold a number of the Canadian Diamonds a few years ago and most of the trucks now seen on shows seem to have come from their stocks. Sadly most of them lost their "Canadian" bodies somewhere in their career. Alex

Alex,
Here´s a couple of them. One was for sale in the UK and came to Holland, the other was for sale at a dealer in Holland and went to who knows where. Can´t think of many more, but once you start counting you should be able to come up with a few dozen? H.
