Check out the REO plaque I got in the mail! My favorite part is that its marked 195_. This plaque is screen printed, so is it a repop? Oh well I think its cool. -Is this the original Engine Shut Down lever? Seems to match the throttle control. Found it under the seat!! Notice the US NAVY...

anyone have any pics of a MV finished in River Rock?

YES have read every post in that thread. Decided to go with the BM Alkyd semi gloss :beer: Ive decided to paint it this summer. I feel my paint will turn out better sprayed with an air compressor, and when its warm. Also, I wont be as rushed, go back to school in PA on the 9th. ' Whats the...

I started priming mine with Rustoleum Rusty Primer. $30 a gallon at Home Depot. I an just scraping, wire brushing, acetone wipedown, then sprayed on some phosphate etch (then damp sponge wipedown). I am no paint expert, but the first paint I put down was on the bumper. Put a second coat on a day...

HEY thats my Deuce front and center! Thanks again for getting me my truck with pretty short notice. That was quite a night! Here is a thread of my painting progress: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/paint-bodywork/79900-painting-my-53-reo.html

Do you know If the military rolled it or sprayed it? Im purposely not stripping it down to bare metal. Im just scraping it by hand as best I can, wiping it with acetone, using phosphate etch then priming it. I still want it to look old! Im thinking now I should get all the nooks and crannies...

ok then would you roll it or get something like this: Amazon.com: Wagner 518080 Control Spray Max HVLP Sprayer: Home Improvement because im pretty much forced to paint it in my dads back yard. Garage is not finished yet=no shop air... OR should I just wait till the summer? Just leave it in...

Any input on electric paint sprayers? I have a pretty cheap paint gun that looks like this: Titan Siphon Feed Spray Gun, Model# 19418 | Paint Spray Guns | Northern Tool + Equipment got it on sale, but never used it. I have a 60 gal Cambell Hausfield, but its at my old garage. No place to spray...

are there cheaper manual cranes available for hoisting engines etc out of a bed? http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200402703_200402703?cm_sp=Upsells-_-Top%20Sellers-_-Product%20Page Any input on these type of cranes. seems simple enough, but Northern has 2 for $179, and one for...

HAHAHAHHAHAHA and HOSS how are you gonna hear the radio in a soft top multifuel?

Im pretty sure mine has been sandblasted as some point, paint seems pretty thin. Was very easy to reveal the serial number on the frame. Ill certainly try to look on the rear bumperetts though. Whats the best method? I wish you could google the serial/vin and it would tell you everything from...

Hey you know XJ's? When Im not driving the Wagoneer, Im driving this!

I am loving all this info. I could tell you year to year changes of a Jeep wagoneer, but I know almost nothing about these trucks HAHA Well it sounds like a picked quite an interesting truck! Well atleast I know the numbers for the hood now. I guess those were lifelong numbers? Or did it...

3 things I noticed, parking brake (picture 9) is different then all others ive seen. There is some type of flag holder next to the exhaust stack bolted to the passenger door frame. The heater vent is spun around. I have it taken off anyways (along with the intake mushroom) easy enough, but any...

WOW this is gonna be a fun project figuring out this trucks history.... How do you know its an REO?

Is it possible to figure out the original unit?

do I have enough info to find out the origins of my truck? contract is blank!!

found frame number. Its on the driver side as normal.... I though early deuces had it on the passenger side? #130156 Number on data plate pictured. Same number stenciled on glovebox. Looks like a replacement plate as there is no other data on it. I bought an original REO M35 data plate on...

WOW they really let you do that? Thats kinda a retarded deal, you would think it excludes trucks!

GOOD POINT! Id probably want to repaint it before the paint itself broke down. I guess ill just talk to the paint pro about it, and look at the price. I did kinda soak the front part of the bed with the etch stuff. seemed to have dried fine this morning. Probably should not have painted at all...
