Parts interchange 1953 reo and Multi-Fuel

[hot rod deuce]

Hey does any one know if the 1953 reo gas trucks are similar to the M35 multi-fuel? I found a cheap parts truck with a hard top and front axle, are these parts the same. It sure looks like a go to me but its a far from home. Also i want the cab so i can make mine a CrewCab, i know the trans tunnel is differnt but that can be changed and hte fire wall may be differnt but thats coming out.
Thanks for the help

HRD,
My truck was originally built as a gasser. They changed her to a mulit in '94. Go for it!

Same truck. Engine is different and trans ratios are different and other minute things. Cab is the same.

I picked up some parts from a gasser dump a couple weeks ago. I'm pretty sure the axles were the same. Transfer was the same. Tranny is a 3052 with the 1-1 final. I tried to trade memphis equipment the engine and transmission for a 3053A with no luck. That 1 to 1 final ratio may work work well for the setup you've got in your rig now. I'd say if the price is right and you've got the space, it would be worth having. You can never go wrong having spare parts. Dave
