Restorer32 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Prepare yourself for the onslaught of folks telling you your vehicle is just a parts car and a waste of time and money since you cannot restore it and make a profit. I'm sure you know that already. As I often say, "Beware the Philistine who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing". 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1912Staver Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) Just my 2 cents, but I would be inclined to look for a Reo cab and front sheet metal , radiator. Just saw a very decent, all steel, early truck cab at a swap meet { Fagel }. Price was very reasonable. Keeping the Cleveland body would result in a interesting truck, but it's going to be a very large undertaking. Reo trucks may not be common, but I have seen a few over the years. The Cleveland might be a better propisition if returned to a Cleveland car chassis. Do you have all the metal parts for the Cleveland ? Except the cut off rear section of course. At least it is a 3 window coupe, but still a lot of wood work. It's rarely about potential profit on 90 % of pre war vehicles, but at some point the amount of time you have to invest becomes a concern.

Carroll_1 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Bryan, I'm amazed how much information you've gathered on this truck in such a short time. It truly is one-of-a-kind. If only the parts could talk and tell the story behind it's construction and history. An early Ernest Holmes wrecker. An very early extended cab. Just looking at it creates questions. Why, why, why? What a fun project! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
