Model OD90 deuce????

So today I noticed this 1955 Reo M36 has the data plate under model stamped OD-90 any idea what the heck that is. It has Consolidated (something) painted on the door.

Did you happen to get a picture ?

Data plate and it also has a brake controller on the dash with a big control unit inside the frame rail on drivers side near the back. There is also a plate on the dash when Colorado State University had it in 1975!

Taylortrading has one with a control like you describe. Might want to send him a PM and ask about his truck.

There was a military kit for a brake controller for 2.5 tons, 5 tons, and I think 10 tons too. I've got a whole setup NOS to compare with what's on your truck.

I think this is one component of it, I'd have to check out the complete kit when I go to the yard tomorrow.

That does look like what is mounted inside the rear frame rail.

My question is, what would have been mounted on a LWB gas chassis-cab?
