Late CCKW Aircleaner

Post by RANGER »

The type that is held onto the tube with a thumbscrew on the top, interchanges with those on the late G-506, the G-509 Diamond T 6X6 and 3/4 Ton WC Dodge.

Hi Ranger,

Did they change the Diamond T air-cleaner late in production as they did with the GMC?

My DT wrecker has a large updraft aircleaner??

I would have to research it as I do not know. The Ordnance part numbers for the Air Cleaners are the same for G-502, G-506, G-507, G-508, G-509.
I have seen the Diamond T truckd fresh from the US Army with the Same louvered air Cleaner as on the WC. We are not talking Heinz 57 variety trucks as show up from Europe, but 1940s-50 period surplus here in USofA.I am not sure what came on the 1945 DT for an Air cleaner. Perhaps a 1950s SNL will indicate that. I do not have a 50s dated SNL.
