Hard to find any fault on that! I wish I could afford it!

I hate to ask, are those WM's?! Don't appear to be...

As you said hard to fault the truck! Really nice! But are those reaer fenders F2/F3 ? looks like it to me! Hmmmm. Really nice detail! I can't imagine putting that much effort into anything and then sell it. But for the price he wants...maybe I would..Out of my league for sure.

Wow... Starting bid is $58,750 and reserve not met! I'm also not a big fan of red.

Nice truck, I'd be proud to have it own me.

No, they're not WMs. But would be really hard to find replacements for if they were. REO shared wheels with late '40s GMCs and Studebaker 2R16s after 1949. Same 5 lug x 8" pattern, but hub piloted. Stu

I don't like red interiors, myself. I'd have to change that!

They do look like Ford. Yep, that is one nice truck.

I know that certain years International trucks had rear fenders that were similar to Ford's.

Wow... nice and very rare truck! My Grandfather had a REO on the farm years ago. All that's left is one REO emblem (kinda looks like the one on this truck) and a gauge cluster. A guy close to me has two REO's but they are bigger farm type trucks. Thanks for posting... don't see them very often.

So, Stu... I'm beginning to think you know something about truck wheels.

Yeah, well. We all have our niche.

I think those are F-2/3 fenders. I did a Google Images search and the OEM fenders are sorta round. Since the laptop has again crapped, I'm on the iPhone and can't link the pic. Stu

I've seen those fenders and have wondered about them also
