j hancock Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 I think I have only seen two of them. This one and the one that Roger Gerhart owns and restored a couple of years ago. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

ws721 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 That's one of the trucks I hauled. Being a "self proclaimed COE buff" that REO is unique. Very interesting how the front opens out.

An example is a AC-603 = 115 wheelbase, short cab and Golden Comet 235 h.p.

57 bcr Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Met an old milk hauler from S. Wisconsin that was displaying his at the Rock River Thresheree(Edgerton,Wis.),a few years back. He had bought it new. I think his name was Ralph Schroeder. He was very proud of the old girl and had lots of stories. Unfortunately, he passed on by time the next show came around. I will have to look through my "bale" of old truck pics,and see if I took one of his truck. Al Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

pickup trucker Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 If anyone is interested in saving this V63, it's in Hollis N.H. and they can make an offer. Looks a lot better in the pictures than it is.
