This is from the book The World's Toughest Truck: The Reo / Diamond Reo Story, by Ebert, Neal & Fijalkovich. This article gives you a brief look at how Reo tested the military trucks that they built. The book provides a complete history of the company, and discusses the design of the initial...

ChrisW72971: my earler joking aside.....:smile::smile::smile: Sounds like Wrench Wench has the right idea on getting her involved in using a Deuce and seeing how it can be used by both of you. I'm sure she would enjoy riding in it more than the box truck! Perhaps a local SS member might be...

Get a new woman......:razz: Does the width listed above include the mirrors? If not, how much do they add to the 8' width? In my case I'd be driving between the house and some leyland cypress trees., so I want to make sure I have enough room to clear. :?:

For those of you that always ask for "more pics"...here are the videos I took of the operations on Saturday at Clintos. There are eight videos, plus one picture video. Number 9 is just these same pictures shown above as a video. Don't expect too much, since I'm not the best cameraman...

Seventeen?? Is that some type of record purchase by one person? :razz:

Glad to do it.

Winching the CUCV to its new spot. Now we are done!

The the box was lined up on the blocks. Then it was lunch time.

The CUCV had to be moved over to provide more room, and then the Jeep body needed to be moved also. Once they were moved - the tan Deuce was backed onto the concrete pad to have the wood box lifted off. The box was lifted up and Clinto drove the Deuce out from underneath. BFR then moved the...

Round 2...includes moving the M1008 and the Jeep body too. I like picture number 9 in this group.

Here is the first round of pics I took today at Clinto's. He & BFR were removing a wood box shelter from the tan Deuce using BFR's Deuce with a crane and extendable boom. Plus, they pulled a CUCV to a better spot on the concrete pad, and moved the Jeep body. Notice that when everyone is working...

Nice pics...looks great!! :-D:-D:-D

nopics Sorry I had too.. I think it's a law. No pics? Then you get this over and over!!!!

Seems like the 230 six would be overworked to move a loaded M715 or 725. Maybe that's why they had a bad reputation:?::?: KaiserM109...what I have read regarding the engine is different. The 230 OHC six was first used in the new '63 J model trucks & Wagoneers, and they used it through...

drgreg.... At least use a photo that includes Heather Locklear. :roll::roll::roll:

Lezza.... The P & W R-2060 is from 1931 so it's a bit earlier than you're looking for. Here is a pic of it. I don't know of any successful X layout, but many were tried. The Lycoming XB-7755 was a monster!! I'd say it fits - it was never used but so much effort was put into it. :roll...

If you're looking for also-rans, how about the RR Vulture? Or how about the P&W R-2060 - a liquid cooled radial that was awful. The Crecy was interesting...an advanced two stroke V12 design, but it suffered from overheating if my memory serves me right. The Allison V1710 seems to get...

Just thought yall would enjoy this Deuce photo. :-D It's from the Union County Georgia Historical Society 2009 calendar. It contains historical photos and they sell them to raise money for the non-profit society, which is based in Blairsville. If your interested they're $7.00, and the web...

Wow...looks great! Nice work.

BTW: They usually have quite a few Deuces (23) and 5 tons (3) listed too. Trucks are being sold by businesses, individuals and GL. Just FYI...:-D
