Deuce test - REO style!!

[GoldComet6]

This is from the book The World's Toughest Truck: The Reo / Diamond Reo Story, by Ebert, Neal & Fijalkovich. This article gives you a brief look at how Reo tested the military trucks that they built.

The book provides a complete history of the company, and discusses the design of the initial M34 "Eager Beaver" in 1949 and later production of additional M35 and other military trucks.

This book was printed in 2006. If your interested in old trucks, it's a great book. Lots of very good pictures (some in color), and informative text dealing with Reo's early history, through its purchase by White, and the final years with other owners. Talks about the employees, the dealers and building Reos. Plus it has many charts - production numbers, sales & income, specs of the trucks produced, military truck production,etc.

As you can see...I highly recommend it
