ReoRider gave a couple of us a different perspective of gassers vs. multi-fuels at Sussex in April. His take was that the gassers of the period were well-tested over the road engines proven for high mileages, whereas the multi-fuels were put together because they'd burn near anything. That...

I Should Stay Off the [private owner] Auction Sites I got in when it was at $67.00 OK, so I went ape and paid about 80% more than that. And .59 cents. One Deuce, so many lunettes, just one pintle. OK: 2 counting the Econoline. Steve

"...I'll get it running and driving first then, Ill put it up on the classifieds..." :driver::jumpin: [thumbzup] Steve

Some guesses: It should be based on the M35/M44 series. If there is not carburetor, it's most likely a multifuel. Look for a tag on the engine on the passenger's side, about 1/3 of the way back and down low enough that it's hard to read. That should tell you. M44, M45, and M46 are chassis...

Hear! Hear! Steve

Think that gasser will make it to the classifieds so one of us opinionated ideologues can buy it? Steve (since I'm in NJ, I get to skate because of shipping costs) :twisted:

:ditto: I, too, encourage you not to embark on a life of crime. A well-restored REO gasser, esp. one starting from a good base, is good for the hobby and harder to find than one of the several options that have been mentioned for a beef-up/bob-job. I see trucks offered constantly where prices...

When I 1st started to get interested, the videos of this show (yes, including your truck) were what really lit me up. There is a void. Perhaps someone will choose to fill it. I hope. Steve

Spiffy rig. Congratulations and welcome. Steve

Anyway, thread hijack over. Welcome from NJ. I see some nice trucks on the market up that way. Steve

So you're the one who aced me.[thumbzup] I 'wuz gonna try to drive it to NJ. That is one nice looking truck!

Really like your truck. Behr does make a DTM (direct to metal) product in semi-gloss, which is what I suspect that you want. I'd take the formula from the link above to HD and see what they can come up with. It'll save you a day or so (at the very least) waiting for red oxide to flash off...

I got my rebuilt TCase from John Tennis. Like it. Don't know if he does Weare. Steve

I remember the clip and your truck well. It was one of the videos I watched repeatedly while I was cranking myself up to buy my Deuce. I think I've seen every one of the W&P videos multiple times. Now I can say that one of the stars is a kind of acquaintance. BTW, I think you're at about...

I say call that guy who handed you the towbar at GL and ask him to come over and beat the paint off them with it. Steve:whistle:

Welcome from NNJ. Looking forward to progress and end result. I really like this series. If I had $ and space, I'd be dangerous. Steve

I've driven mine in a pinch blocked as you describe. I carry the plugs as an emergency kit. That said: Take it easy, no load, leave lots of room in front, and hope another one doesn't blow. Get someplace to do the work and fix it. There's a big difference when 33.3% of your brakes ain't there...

Pole trailers and bolster trailers are very cool. Last summer I came across one that found its way to a utility. I wanted the Ling's crew to warm to the idea of using one for a torpedo parade float, but . . . Steve

Point being, it's not something you post on a public website visited by Google - for a bunch of reasons, not the least of which is the good and welfare of your ex-unit buddies. At one level or another, it's theft of goobermint property. Steve
