Thanks for hooking us all up. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2012 Posts: 201 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2012 Posts: 201 | The 1952 Reo in Woody's collection is a truck I used to watch work in the corn field across from my parents' house when I was little. They had 2 of them and would drag race across the field. They would follow the corn chopper first with one, then with the other and then run them back to the barnyard to unload. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | Not wanting to stray too far off topic but Woody's page also links to some pretty comprehensive cab build pictures.
They may be of use to anyone,novice or otherwise just starting out on an in depth cab re-build.
