Builders of more than 1500 Class B \"Liberty\" trucks in World War I, Diamond T produced nearly 50,000 thousand prime movers, half-tracks, army wreckers, tank tractors, and tank movers in World War II. The late 1940s were years of peak production, but as the 1950s progressed, Diamond T found independent status problematic. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe White Motor Company purchased Diamond T in 1958; moving production from Chicago to Reo's manufacturing facilities in Lansing, Michigan, in 1960, creating the Lansing Division to produce Diamond T and Reo trucks. Both Diamond T and Reo ceased to be separate trucks starting in 1967 when White's new Diamond Reo Division began producing Diamond Reo trucks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Enthusiast Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055079670000,"sku":"9781583882047","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781583882047_p0.jpg?v=1763804289","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781583882047","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
