Super nice! You must be a reliable trucker to be trusted with such as this. Safe travels.

Nice! Where in Wisconsin are you headed. Our salt should start eating away at it in no time.

The hood ornament is not the right one is it? Looks like a Mack bulldog.

They will just have to keep in the garage in the winter of send it back down south in the winter and call it a Snowbird.

Nice truck. I've got a similar F22 Gold Comet, 1952 vintage. They had a 331 cu in Six with overhead valves. It was a genuine Class 8 truck, capable of Coast-to-Coast hauling. The US military used them by the thousands. I've also got a 1949 Speed Wagon that my dad bought new, and also a REO Flying Cloud sedan. I asked my Dad why he traded in his low-mileage ration-list '47 Ford truck for the light blue over dark blue REO. He said, "Because it looked so good.". It was sold by the local Hudson dealer. He also said he remembered advertising from way back that it was the only truck good for 100 thousand miles. It has a little flathead six, so it's slow. It has about 30,000 miles on it. Used it for years to haul sileage in a box with a false end-gate and unloading winch.

Oh. I thought for a minute you had picked it up for yourself.
Nice truck!

Looks good. I hope to have a 49 Speed Wagon one day.

A coupla years ago I was at a truckstop and there was a couple with a GMC cracker box with a 6-71 pulling a new Peterbuilt. Seems they were picking up the GMC for his boss and the trans went out of the new Peterbuilt, for the third time. So they were pulling the Peterbuilt back to Texas from MI with the GMC. LOL hope they had ear plugs.

Mack bulldog ??????

Brown Swiss · May 12, 2020

Looks like it fit!😂

I was fixing to post the very same question when I saw your post. Looks like it to me! I picked up on an article about the guy who "polishes" dogs for Mack. Been doing it for 35 years he said. Ambition was to own his own one day....Mack, not bull dog. Mack, one tough truck. Only truck I ever saw with the differentials horizontal for better ground clearance. Neat idea. The Mackedyne (spelling), 235 I6, if my memory serves me was a work horse and a real tugger.

Okay Okay, it is not a Mack. Please tell me, what kinda of critter goes on the hood of a Reo...?

oldseabee · May 14, 2020

My Dads Reo, it had a chain drive for the rear axle. This was 1948. Looks like he stopped the driver for a beer break.
