keiser31 and Peter, thank you for the advice. I'll look into the 4 cyl REO group. Thanks again, Brent

I'm told it's a 1917 REO, but my "Standard Catalog of American Cars" doesn't show any 1917 auto production. As near as I can tell, it's a 1918 judging by the windshield frame and attachment points, but I'm not 100% sure. Obviously, it was cut down at sometime to make a "pickup". It looks like it was originally a open tourer, but this is my first REO and my first Pre-War. Also, I'm getting a new title for it (off of a bill of sale), and I want to make sure the year is right. Would the disc wheels be right for the year? All the pictures I see are wooden spoke wheels. Thanks for your help, Brent

I just bought a project. Yes I know; yay me. Now, what is it? It was sold as a 1917 REO; that's all. Obviously, the body has been cut off behind and a makeshift bed attached. I figure that happened around WW II. Serial number plate on the center of the floor is T 1283. 4 cylinder model, 120 inch WB..... and I don't know what else to say other than it's my first pre-war, and my first REO. My apologies for the horrendous pictures. Will have it home in a week; better pics then. Thanks for the help, Brent
