Hi everyone . Here's another 1947 Reo speedwagon 1 1/2 ton , me and my son have been working on. I am getting back on the shop this month and hope to finish it , just been so busy this year with lawn and landscape work for the boss, I mean wife. I have a tank located for it and that is next. Hopefully the next time i post I will have the neon up as well . Can some one fix my pics also if upside down please. Still posting with this crazy i pad. Thank you

Travis that is one fine addition to the garage and your son will have a great story to tell later about how Dad helped with his truck!

Thanks guys. I plan on rebuilding all the wheel cylinders this year and just drive it around in the fields . My son wants to drive it so bad he can't stand it. I will keep you all updated. Its neat to see how much others enjoy this old stuff.

Looking fantastic!! I've always liked the look of your shop with the pump and sign. I remember you posting a pic when you first started the shop. Or something like that. Adding the truck to the mix is going to be a great looking set up!
BTW, love the look of the large window in the front of the shop!!

The truck is looking great, Travis. The shop is shaping up nice too.

I can't wait to see this when it is done either. Old trucks are so sharp when they are all restored.

Nice truck Travis, and the shop is looking great!!
Posted By: 47reo-travis Re: Started on the Sinclair truck - Sun Jul 05 2015 01:39 AM
Thank you all for the nice comments . Its nice that everyone enjoys this stuff so much . Got a little more done. Still going to skirt the tank sides and make a few side shelves for some dump cans, lengthening the rear of the tank with a storage box and rear doors. I made a big stencil of the Sinclair 3d logo and just taped it and hand painted . I hope my pics are not upside down , this i pad does funny things. Thanks.

That looks awesome!!! I love the front end/grille and the way you worked the red stripe into the whole thing.
Looks great, can't wait to see it progress.
