The REO cab was made for quite a long time…maybe starting in the 1930s, some hood changes in the 40s, more hood changes in the 50s and then some more in the 60s. The dash changed a little throughout that time period. When Diamond REO came about, I think they made some cab mold changes. I’ve always liked the old aerodynamic cab, hood and feeders of the REO. I own a 1951 that my dad bought new.
