Argyll Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I realise that this site isn't technically truck related, but if there's one thing I've learned about here it's the wealth of knowledge in these forums on all sorts of transport related subjects.I'm a member on a UK classic vehicle web site that's had a question posted by an Australian member about what he believes to be perhaps a Reo. May I ask, is it possible anybody could confirm the make and what year it is please?Thanks, Argyll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aussie610 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 good luck, with an answer, but I would suggest the guys here may have a problem, It looks like a local body on an imported chassis (They all were at that time)Would suggest they contact "Restored cars". I think a remember an article in one of their magazines a couple of years ago about a truck like that, cant remember any detail, but can remember the truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manuel Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 The location looks like "The Dog on the Tucker Box" monument at Gundagai NSW Australia.The pic must have been taken a long time ago as the site has a large petrol station, food hall and rest area etc there now.I can't make out what the badge says on the grill??Manuel in Oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argyll Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 Guys - may I mention that I'm going on vacation on the 25th for 3 weeks (doing the vehicle shows in Florida ), so if anybody posts something into this thread that may need a reply it will be a wee while before I see it and respond.I've also sent the member I'm asking the question for the link to this thread, so he might pop up in my absence. Argyll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
