Seems to be a similar cargo body as the REO and the MACK Jr. Wonder if one of the body builders made them like BUDD did with the N cabs. 1937 REO at the Down East Museum of Stuff in Northern Maine MACK JR from I forget Edited March 30, 2017 by 41chevy 2 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 I am not familiar with this type of body being used by multiple manufacturers from a single source but it may have occurred. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Reason I asked is the Down East one shows a body seam over the door where the REO /MACK cab was attached. I would think they were Pick up cab and chassis converted to a panel truck body for the cowls, windshields and dash boards. I do see that the doors are the same on all. That was a time when manufacturers has little cash for the tooling and equipment for making their own low sales volume units.

j hancock Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 Makes sense. Shared components certainly can help the bottom line in manufacturing. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
