The Packard's vertical grille bars themselves opened or closed, there were no add-on shutters. I assume your REO has the same setup.

Yup it sure does, straight eight with the vertical bars on the grille that open/close really got to appreciate the ways they built things back then.

Thanks for posting the picture, that is the style that I am familiar with..... I didn't think that the shutterstat was screwed into the intake manifold. Perhaps it is on the vacuum systems?

Yeah all of the thermostat part of the picture u posted has been removed. Only thing on my truck is a cutout in the side of the shutter part with nothing else going to it. Gonna have to rig up a linkage for it. Basically gonna have to rewire the whole truck for lights so the shutters will wait for a little bit.
