Anybody, know of any bone yards that have old Big truck parts? Looking for Sheet metal parts for my 60 Reo Truck Hoping to something near Detroit/Toledo Hope to find the hood ***emble that is pointed! Pre 1960
Not sure if this will help but back when I was still in the repair bidness Camarota Truck Parts had everything I ever asked them for for my ancient wreckers. http://www.camerota.com/ Hope this helps. Al in CT
The old 'Hog Heaven' across from Toledo Express is nearly gone now due to clean up but they did have an old REO for sale, complete, last summer at one point. Maybe enjenjo can help you out. He lives in Swanton and knows most of the folks out that way. I'm just north in Blissfield and know there is one around here someplace, just got to put my memory cap on. Or just go driving around which is more fun than a memory cap anyway!
It may not be local to you, but Truck Wholesale in Wellsville KS has acres and acres of old big trucks. I dug the front end out for a Grove crane one winter day. Tel # 785-883-4117
There is a yard that has a 40s or 50s REO in it with the pointed hood and its in the Dayton area,I do have a picture of it in my computer. Jeff
