I recently had a chance to purchase a New Old Stock carb for a M211. The carb was still smothered in cosmoline and sealed in the box. I was once told by a friend that a M211 carb was the same and would work on my OA331 Reo. I was wondering if there is any truth to this? What are the...

Hi I'm new to the site. I just recently purchased a deuce that I believe to be a Reo M34. I was hoping that someone would be able to confirm my suspicions about the truck. The capacity plates are not legible anymore. My truck needs some love after sitting in a field for 5 years, but with...
