And won't fall on it's face during hard acceleration. But, maybe that's just a little V6 issue.

They quit building them in the mid 70's...although they tried to make a comeback later but failed. They were a mix of Diamond T and REO truck's. REO goes back to the days of Ransom E Olds who went on to build Oldsmobile car's and REO truck's. Check out Hank's Truck Pictures if you like old and new trucking pictures.
