That is cool, what took you so long to tell us?

 

I`d love to find a 53-56 stocker in nice shape, Santa didn`t bring me one this Christmas.

 

I dint tell you before cuz a saw the picture of my truck on google today... And the truck is in same shape of the picture

 

I've seen some interesting older trucks in fields, west of Winnipeg. One about a '47 Ford 2 ton or so, grain truck.

Another, not a Ford but a REO Speed Wagon grain truck from the same era. Alway liked that name...REO Speed Wagon...has a ring to it and a connotation of extreme speed....for a grain truck.

I know the word REO...stands for Ransom E. Olds...the guy who developed the early Oldsmobile. I believe he parted ways with GM and then developed the famous REO truck line.

The band wasn't bad either.

 

Unfortunately most of the real old trucks have disappeared.
I never had a clue about REO, thanks for the info less.

 

My specialty...knowledge of the obscure and little known. My wife always wished my knowledge was more useful....like stocks and bonds.

 

True but just think how much better you can sleep better at nite not worrying about stocks and bonds crashing!

 

Exactly....and it's a lot more pleasant to fall asleep thinking about vintage vehicles than...the up's and down's of whether I bought high....too many shares of pork belly futures.
