EDNY Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Just acquired this hood, it's complete and actually very solid with hinges. Was looking for a donor hood for a vintage Chevy truck project when I located this one. Looking around the internet I figure it's about a 1940 Speed Wagon hood...is this correct? Finally - I need to cut it up if I use it and wanted to check with the REO folks to be sure that I'm not committing a capital crime if it has any collect-ability value.

Ronabi Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 That is a hood off of a 1941 REO Speedwagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronabi Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 That hood would be worth it's weight in gold to someone restoring one of these REO trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gregory Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I asked on the Reo Club your question here is the answer . " Right. It looks like the '41 Speed Wagon in the picture. Now here's the answer to your question "Are you committing a capital crime if you want to cut it up?" You Bet! Don't cut it up! If you really want to put it or something like it on your Chevy very simply copy it in fiber glass=problem solved. But do not cut it up. Do it in fiber glass & keep this one in the family for a much better use. That's my candid advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDNY Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 Thanks guys.. I agree that it shouldn't be cut up. Thought about the mold process but never copied a part this big..the (many) louvers would be a challenge for my skill level. I'll put it in my barn and use it as trading material - hope the word gets out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronabi Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 There is a guy that is looking for parts or the whole hood if you're willing to sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
