Sterling? I saw a former military surplus tow truck like this once at Anderson Trucking and Towing in Medford, New York, and it was a Sterling, that's why I think this might be one too. |

I was going to say early Diamond T but I think you're probably correct with Sterling |

It is a Ward LaFrance Model 1000 Heavy Wrecker M1 (1941-45), probably Series 3 (1942). A similar vehicle was produced by Kenworth.![]() |
