Ambitiously decided to do a frame off restoration (he he!)
started the process six months ago and have since sandblasted, primed, and painted frame, Monted drive train, working on engine as of now.

You have a nice project going and will end up with a very good truck. Keep the pictures coming on the progress!

Is it still gas? My 52 Reo was converted to multi and was in rough shape. Make sure you know what's ahead of you. It could be a long road, but worth it

i am no expert by any means but i think i have seen m seires gasser deuces up to late fiftys early sixties but i dont know the exact year maybe your deuce was overhauled by the govmnt that way. i have a engine overhaul tag for 1960 out of atlanta georgia (all things still standard size thank ya very much)

Welcome to the site M35 REO. Looks like a really solid truck and gassers are pretty rare so you'll likely be the only one at rallies.

We have another member here who has done a beautiful restoration on a gasser M34, his photo album is here:

Good effort!Nice truck.Of course I'm a bit partial to REO series of deuce.Got a 54' myself.A former pole setter truck from Whidbey Island NAS.I was supposed to sell it off to pay for my 81' AmGen,as ordered by the "war department",but fortunately that hasn't happened.
Your efforts are inspiring for me to keep workin' on it. Good luck, and welcome to the site

Been there done that. I was looking for a picture a while ago and found the one of me painting my 1952 Gasser bare frame on New years Eve 2007. Nothing beats a Gasser for pure mechanical coolness and mechanical noise going down the road.
