    I found a 10 ton tractor

    TadB...are you sure it's tha same truck? I compared the pics side by side and there are enough large and small differences to make me think you found another 10 ton truck. Of course a few of the things I see could have been changed, but other differences are things that wouldn't have been...

    Where did all the M35A3's go?

    When I was at the GL lot in Warner Robins last week, there were a lot of M35A3s - but most were tagged "FMS Freeze". The signs said for "El Salvador". The dates on the signs were September 2008, so maybe they will not be sent? Or does it take THAT long? Also saw M35A2s for El Salvador and Morocco.

    a couple questions about the deuce

    How far is your daily commute? If it's short and easy each way (10 miles?) then it might be okay, with more regular maintenance of course. On the other hand if you'll be driving 30 or 40 miles each way, in stop-n-go traffic, I'd say you'll be better picking another vehicle. Plus, will...

    Deuce pics from REO book

    These photos are from REO Trucks: 1910-1966 Photo Archive. In pic number 4, notice the Deuces in the upper left corner....are they tractors or just unfinished trucks? Looks like one has low mounted headlights and two high mounted...being produced at the same time. They look like gas models.

    Deuce "Eager Beaver" article

    I saw that too, and agree with your assessment. I started to mention it when I posted this article and ask everyone about it, but didn't. Sounds like we agree on the answer - they should have made the distinction between the trucks. In later chapters it mentions that Reo competed against GM...
