N.O.S. Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Those are 2 1/2T trucks, circa 1960s - something like Reo M35? The little truck behind the drill rig is a British Reynolds Boughton RB44. Hopefully someone will b able to pinpoint the exact maker of the U.S. 6x6 trucks.

Dusty Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 The first photograph appears to have the registration number Q319 GVU which shows on a registration site as a Reo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Looking at the gallery page on their website they also appear to have Q105 XAK which comes back as a Reo M35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Reo is the generic name for the G742 series trucks which includes the M35. Lots of different manufacturers produced vehicles but the majority of M35's were built by Kaiser Jeep and AM General. They were produced into the seventies but strangely enough almost all the post 1960 ones seem to have disappeared without trace. Read into this what you will.

berna2vm Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 They have all dissapeared without trace indeed and only pre 1960 examples have survived....:cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Looks like they have got a couple of ex-military trucks according to the pictures on their website, http://www.nationalwaterwellengineers.co.uk/gallery.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
