gearhead204 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 a good friend of mine had a "cold commit" reo civil defense van that he reworked into a mobile shop, the engine finally failed so he installed a turbo charged ford 460 gas with a c6 auto, kept the 2sp. rear and what a difference that made in the ol'e girl he would run it back and forth from here to the north slope in prudeo bay Alaska it was a very sound truck even after running around the oil fields.

bluebonnet Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 REO revisited. While passing thru Ironton, Missouri last summer I stopped to check on this REO truck. The price was $1500, the engine and tranny was missing. Not interested in buying, just curious.Just for information the REO Club of America will be having their annual meet August 6 thru 9 at the Western Illinois Threshers grounds in Hamilton, Illinois. The Threshers annual show will be there on the same weekend August 7, 8 and 9.I don't own a REO but plan on being there with my MACK B 61Victor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 I recently cut up my 40,000 mile 1961 REO tater truck after the weekend "hunters" shot out every piece of glass and every gauge. Family bought it new never titled.
