Well there you go. Any way you slice it, we now know the OP truck is not and never was military.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I'm not sure what INC means... International Navistar Company, maybe? Probably doesn't matter, but the current company name is "International Truck and Engine Corporation", or ITEC. I'm a long-time die-hard IHC/Navistar/ITEC sucker, having owned quite a few over the years, and still have five left in my collection.The INC. military gassers (m62, m54, m139) had Continental 6602s, a 602 ci six cylinder. The red diamond is a old engine that was even used at the of the WW2, this engine is one of the BEST engines that INC has built, it is a torque monster, like the 6602
I may be wrong on this as it's been awhile since I've researched it but I don't think Diamond REO was around in '45. They didn't go to Diamond REO until White Motor Company bought both brands and combined them.or Diamond Reo.

As A side note, White bought a whole bunch of brands over the years before finally being bought out by Volvo. I know they owned Diamond T, REO, Autocar, Western Star, and of course the White branded trucks. They also had joint ventures with Freightliner and General Motors.
Your both correct.My internet searching also seems to agree with M16TY, Diamond REO was a union that occurred much later than 1945.
The M44 series trucks started in 1949 with the M34.I believe the M35's started around 52' Allot of the dash looks Deuce..ish..
They are just standard military trucks that Memphis Equipment rebuilds and customizes.WillWagner,
Please tell me more more about these Memphis trucks? Were they hybrids of different series?
52 would not have been Kaiser or Jeep.My 52 deuce is titled as "Kaiser", no jeep
