I did get a set of plates from Memphis Equipment. Very nice. They have a couple kits left. Thanks for the heads up, BaconFarms

Well I got the title back from the DOT today in the mail. Remember, the auction house sends in the sellers title which the buyer dosen't get to see, and it came back with VIN: M3494926. So, they combined the model with the stamp on the tag (which matches the frame), so I think that is all...

Thanks. I did see the bolts and thought about that. Man, what a job that would have been to double the frame. I won't be taking that apart to clean all the corrosion, LOL. But, I will make new plates for the spring pivot support. They are rust jacked out over a 1/4" and are a wee bit wavy...

OK, thanks, for that information. I also checked the wheelbase at 169" and the truck has a double frame the entire length. The rear pin holes look like dump truck and look like part of the inner frame, and to me, from the "factory", i.e., day one, but it is 72 years old. Someone on here...

I found the number, and it matches the data tag. Good. Now I wait to see what the title will say. Probably M3494926 like on my sales receipt. Which would be fine. Someone added the model with the serial number. So, the frame number is 94926, what does that tell me?? BaconFarms

Well, I found a six, but too much paint for anything else right now, but I know where it is. Paint stripper tomorrow and a wire brush should bring it out. Thanks, BaconFarms

Perfect. Thanks, might need a flashlight after dinner... BaconFarms

Also, I did find a insurance card in the glove compartment from last year 8/2022 to 8/2023, so it was an active truck. For something. Under vehicle ID, it shows 4926, and then in pen someone wrote, 94926. Does that number make more sense for a '50 REO?? And, where is the frame ID i am to...

The Eagle has landed... Drove it on the trailer at the loading dock and then after we rolled it down the tilt bed. Got it into third, LOL.. No Brakes. To include E-brake. I think they may have used that up in its later years... Farm truck. Actually came from a potato farm. BaconFarms

Very good. That is what I had thought, but when you look at one and then look at another 100 miles and 3 days difference, they look simular... Thanks, BaconFarms

I didn't pay a whole lot for it. And like you said, it's not a great candidate for a restoration. I have a small collection of 47-53 GM trucks, all 1-1/5-2 tons. I will probably take the steetmetal off and clean up the frame, etc. I like the idea of truning the hubs and making it single...

And it is painted blue for some reason... Thanks, BaconFarms

I actually bought this truck to do something a bit different, but everyone around here, wants me to just keep it going as a military truck.... My buddy is showing up today. I think he might be on my side. LOL. With that thought, I do know where there is a nice (M135) cab w/doors. How close...

I am starting to get it. I was looking at a M135, which turned out to be a M211, and basically had the same situation, singles vs duals, etc. LOL, BaconFarms

The air compressor matches the one in the TM exactly and the model number is almost the same. FWIW. The TM says you can't put duals on a M34, but here we have that. The way the frame is welded and the inner frame is not, and is one piece, am wondering if some where converted to heavy (dual...

What config could this have started life as?? Some more pictures, thanks, BaconFarms

Here is a better shot of the data plate and the floor, and Gold Comet cast on the exhaust manifold. I forgot that these where in the auction catalog.... Thanks for the help, BaconFarms

The double frame looks like it goes the whole way, but can't tell if under the cab how far. If you look close you can see the weld. I provide a side profile as well.. What is a (the) REB transfer shift kit??

Here are a couple more pictures of the transmissions that I won. It say Cummins, but its a SAE of some size. I have zero experience with REO engines and not slure if they use SAE bell patterns etc.. And one picture of my helper today!!! Thanks for looking, BaconFarms

OK, was back at day 2 of the auction. Ventured over to the Duece and got a couple more pics. Poor, but best I could do because of the sun. I'll get better ones. The data plates says M34 and no winch. The other tag is really hard to read, but I can bearly make out Eager Beaver (?) and is...
