Studebaker/Reo

Seen this today in Corowa at our club meeting and it belongs to one of the members, I said I would put it up here for him. His name is David who worked with Leyland fitting engines to many makes of trucks.

He also has a Austin Champ for sale as well in a little better shape than the Studebaker
He is open to reasonable offers









It runs and the gears work but the brakes are no good, Hyd, He has the engine cowls,,,,, It must have driven there as I didn't see any sign of it been towed

Nice, Really Nice old warhorse.

very nice, what's he asking? Also what makes it reo?

In 1940 the US Army set a requirement for a 6x6 truck with a 12 ft (3.66 m) long cargo area and 2 1[ch8260]2 ton (2,268 kg) off-road payload. Studebaker and Yellow Coach (a GM brand) submitted very similar models, with many shared components, while International Harvester submitted its own unique design. All three were accepted and in production by 1941.

Studebaker and REO built 219, 882 2 1[ch8260]2-ton (2,268kg) 6x6 and 5-ton (4,536kg) 6x4 trucks in thirteen variations. Studebaker was the primary manufacturer, building 197,678, while REO sub-contracted 22,204 more. Most were exported to the Soviet Union.

I didn't know of a Studebaker/ Reo, so before I put it up on here I googled Studebaker / Reo and this come up

Hi Colin, went up on Saturday to see the Stude and meet up with David. A bit of talk about price went on. he came down a bit, I went up a bit and the deal was done. It's coming to live at my place with my other Studes later on when I can arrange transport. Regards David

David, That the way to go, a bit of bartering and hopefully you both go away happy
