A big twin axle Speedwagon with a Lincoln dog hood ornament and a proud driver hauling a load of Walnuts. What year and maybe model?

Some close ups. 

The plates are 1947-50 California (the walnut packing house was in the San Gabriel valley) Do the ICC or other plate tell us anything?

The lug nuts are awfully shinny. . .

Way cool photo! I can imagine the sacks full of cocoa beans heading to the factory at Hershey . Sorry but I have the National Eastern Fall meet on the brain today since the weather is clear and warm and the sun is out and we all need a dose of friendship and flea markets. ( to look for among other things great period photographs!)

REO. The heavier trucks from 32 to 34 had the high flat radiator. In August of 1932 there was a straight 8 truck engine available. 358 CID. 110 HP @ 2,800 RPM. Looks like this would have been a 4 ton model as that was the largest model they had at the time. 20 inch rubber. Models were 4H,J,and K. Dandy Dave!
