Right, more lower end GVW trucks were sold than higher GVW trucks, so when it comes to the heavy end, we see much less. Here is a top of the 2 axle food chain, the 10 lug wheel F 900, unlike the typical 5 and 6 lug F 500 and F 600's. Big benifit to the higher end truck, they usually had the more reliable air brake system.

Steve Leonard ran this from 70 ish til he passed earlier this year.
Jake Wheeler has it now and intends to keep it as it ran.
Figures it has near 4m miles on running local in the bay area.
Top photo was this week.
Middle was from October 2018.
And not sure about the bottom..

Interesting truck, but a lot of weight for a Single Axle!!

1961 REO 4x4 on Craigslist. Not my truck. I wonder if it started it's career as a wrecker or maybe it worked for a house moving company.

https://portland.craigslist.org/clk/...605166650.html

REO truck, 4x4, gold comet 400 cu. in. gas motor, 7 spd. transmission, air brakes, PTO winch out front, gin pole bed on back with PTO winch that's not hooked up. Runs and drives, tires are old and not road worthy.
$3,500. No title, have lien release papers somewhere.
Not a military truck
Project
Not diesel

Reno bound in the a.m

That is a cool one for restoration. I'd like to have that one. My buddy has a REO. It would be cool if I could roll into a show with another one.

**special-K** · 07-09-2023, 09:38 AM

I was thinking how long it's been since I posted a truck picture. I waited long enough

C10 - C90 Bill · 07-09-2023, 12:19 PM

The sleeper is a little on the small size, lol.

That truck reminds me of a truck I saw yesterday on the interstate while traveling to a swap meet. It was as nice as the truck above, but had polished aluminum fenders. Quite the impressive truck.

**NewBayColony** · 07-09-2023, 08:07 PM

That is quite the rig. I can't imagine getting around with that. Just getting fuel at your average truck stop would be a challenge and a half.

Not the truck I would want to drive in downtown New York City.

It would be a challenge in West Texas!

**special-K** · 07-11-2023, 08:13 AM

High center the trailer? That's only if the truck clears! That's a lot of extra front axle weight

**HO455** · 08-02-2023, 10:54 PM

I saw this one on display at the local Jubitz truck stop. I really like the KB series Internationals. My first truck was a 47 KB 5.

C10 - C90 Bill · 08-03-2023, 08:40 AM

Big truck, KB8, but strange that it only has Hydraulic Brakes. Or is that a mis-label?

I don't know they wouldn't let me drive it.

I might be out that way over the weekend, if I remember I'll stop and look closer.

**CarolinaHD** · 08-14-2023, 09:40 PM

Forgive me for all the bad things I said about the Dodge trucks, they just took awhile to grow on me

C10 - C90 Bill · 08-14-2023, 11:28 PM

With those Dual Stacks, good chance it's Detroit Powered.

**special-K** · 08-19-2023, 08:03 AM

A real Bighorn. I'd bet on a Detroit under that nose. Dodge sure got a lot of use out of that cab

factorystock · 08-26-2023, 10:58 AM

Appears to be a '64 or '65 F 800

**special-K** · 08-27-2023, 09:21 AM

Classy. I wonder if it's a town vehicle. The door marking looks like it could be a town seal
