Picture needed please

[Rocco]

Can any one put up a pic of a REO M-46 truck.
Thanks

It might take a while - but the answer is yes - however, its merely an extra long wheel base cab and chassis (as used by the M36 and M292) - typical application was a basis for a engineer's contact maintance truck.

Thanks a lot.
I saw one with a weird rounded metal shell on the back.

Weird rounded metal shell? Is it something that you are considering purchasing? You may want to pass that info on to David Doyle, he has some interest in an M46 with a weird rounded metal shell on the back.

Isn't that a "shop van"?

Well, sort of. Sounds like a machine shop truck!

I will try to take pics of it.
its rusting away in the woods near where I live.
im trying to find out who owns the property.

The description indeed sounds like an Engineer's Contact Maintenance Truck. IIRC, the heaviest of all deuces, and as Kenny mentioned, on mt "to buy" list - but recently enough items have been knocked off this list may play money is shot.

Best wishes,

I saw this one at the Gilbert PA 2006 show last September. It was a shop body, 2-1/2 ton, and a gasser:

Yep, that is an Engineer's Contact Maintainence Truck - I believe that is the one that used to be owned by TacticalTruck. There are not many of these around, rather quickly the army learned the truck was overburdened, and began mounting this type of be on five tons instead.
