1949 REO Speed wagon REO Speedwagon truck, 1 ton pick up with only 40,600 miles, great project truck!

Description

This very rare truck has been stored inside for over 40 years.  Reo Club of America has only a handful of them registered. I recently inherited it and have spent over 5K getting it to run. It is all original with a Gold Crown 245 6 cylinder engine (89 HP) and Warner T97 4 speed tranny and has only 40,600 miles. I believe it is a 1 or 1 1/2 ton truck. This would be a great project truck with great long term value when completed.  Body is in fairly good shape considering it is over 70 years young. The rear of the front fenders have rusted through as well as small areas of the floor board and elsewhere. Passenger side window glass is cracked. No spare wheel or tire. Truck needs some TLC!
New 6 volt battery, spark plugs, belts, hoses, brakes, 20" tires and re-manufactured water pump. Truck is a double clutcher and has widow-maker wheels. Runs good (top speed 40-45 mph, this is normal) and steers straight as an arrow.
I can send more pictures and video's of it running if you are interested.
