Tim53 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 This truck was owned by my friend's grandfather, or possibly even great grandfather. She'd like to know what brand it was.Thanks in advance,-Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldford Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 1929 or 1930 Reo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim53 Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 I'd be surprised to hear it's a Reo that "new". Didn't Reo start making speedwagons about then? And solid rubber tires? I would have thought that early 20's would have been the last of those.-Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldford Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I looked at the Reo trucks in my truck spotter's guide because I thought the wheel hub covers were a dead give-a-way. The 29-30 large Reo's are real close, but now I'm not so sure.... The nickled shell seems to date it as mid to late '20's , but the front fenders imply earlier. I'll keep looking....

oldford Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 How about a 1928 Graham Bros???? That raised portion on the top front of the radiator shell might be a clue. It looks like the rest of the truck was build for tough duty, with the hard tires and all. Could be that the chassis was Graham and ther rest custom built.
