vision386 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Some great pictures on this thread, thought I could add a couple Reo's from the Walcott truckers jamboree. Themaroon one with the bull rack is still used. Seen it a couple times out on the big road. Definitely an eye catcher.Neat pictures! there was a good article about the one with dual engines in Wheels Of Time a few years back...............................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

Popular Post daveigou Posted April 20, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2013 An odd-ball, and an odd (cannon) ball. The Marmon was a truck I took in trade on a new Mack years ago, and the GMC belonged to a local guy, Henry Klienfelter.Henry had several interesting trucks, he also had a twin-turbo V8 F model, and a Diamond ReoShiny paint is way over-rated! 3 Quote See my Flickr photostream page http://www.flickr.com/photos/96692978@N05/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1977vega Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I see Stech trans trucks all the time, even though they run Volvos, I think they're sharp. I think their is a Marmon sleeper sitting at a house on the Pottstown pike, prolly could pick it up cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarnall Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Another survivor picture taken at Penn Equipment sale, Pottsville Pa.Dave,Any idea what the WR brought or where it went?

MikeI don't know my Dodge models, but if you're talking about the Bazley truck, Roger Gerhart bought it at the sale, and then sold it to Tom Oehme. As far as I know, he still has it. So the story goes that J. Robert used that truck only to haul coal to his home. It had very low miles, and is very nice.

RFCDrum Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Cool ramp rod. I had an original 48 Ford F-6? cabover that had 48,000 original miles. It had a 4 speed with a vacuum 2 speed rear on the dash. It was in a barn in Newton NJ where we were logging years ago in the early eighties. I had no place to restore it. It was in perfect shape and ran good. I sold it to a guy who made it into a ramp rod for his 3 window hot rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

220cummins Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 This Diamond Reo Giant with a Duetz Air Cooled Diesel engine was at MacungieIMG_4365.JPGIMG_4078.JPGIMG_4077.JPGWhen he had the hold open I was really scratching my head! I'd never seen anything like that. It was a strange looking twin turbo and individual head motor. Finally made out the ID tag on top of the motor that said Duetz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Deutz produces superb air- and water-cooled engines, but aside from the 2013 series, in terms of NVH, I think they are best suited to construction machinery.The engines in the Osterlund-built Diamond Reo "Giants" were 12.8 liter BF8L513 twin-turbo air-cooled V-8s rated from 280 to 330 horsepower.Note: GMC had offered the air-cooled BF6L913 in their medium duty trucks. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 In comparison, the more modern Deutz 15.9-liter four-valve water-cooled BF8M1015 is rated up to 590 horsepower.An 11.9-liter V-6 version, the BF6M1015, is rated up to 443 horsepower. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
