Diamond haul

LANNY Pasternak stands beside his
very unique 1937 Diamond T (left). The
restored one-and-a-half-ton classic was
built in Chicago Sy the Diamond T com-
pany, and many like it saw action around
the globe during the Second World War.
An option not available on the truck but
added by Pasternak is a one-cylinder
McCormick-Deering engine mounted on.
the truck's bed (bottom left). The proug
owner bought the antique engine (he
figures it’s over 75 years old) from a col!-
lector in Seattle. (if you have a special
relationship with your vehicle, call the
North Shore News photography depart-
ment at 985-2131).
