    REO M275 truck tractor

    REO M275 truck tractor

    :p !! okay....for me the rusty holes in the cab and doors was the least of my concerns :), i will cutout the bad pieces, weld new in place, no problem, it will take some time but there's no rush, and like with my other projects there will be something that pops up when under construction
