BRILLIANT!

(that you're covering Paris cities all over the USA, NOT that you'd have a short cab on a long frame?)

I LOVE old trucks. Cabovers are cool, I've only driven a few over the years but they're a unique experience.

Love REO trucks. Even this ugly duckling. There is a guy who owns Tom and Tony's towing in Clarksville TN that has a late 50's REO/White cab over thats super cool.

Looks like it needs a hitch, it might make a cool ramp truck to haul a nostalgia funnycar though.

What the hell is a "Victory" transmission, or "Victor" as the add said. Spicer bought Victor driveline from BW, maybe thats were they came up with it. Anyhow, these F-n things were/are so fugly, only a noisey Detriot and a Roadranger can help it LOL.

See the narrow track of the front wheels? Thats "centerpoint steering". If the contact patch of the tires is directly under the centerline of the king pins, it steered easier. Poor mans power steering, back when companies said they "hired power steering".

Also being unveiled this year, the new for 1991 Toyota Camry Wagon.

Toyota has not confirmed any details, but sources within the company say that it "runs perfect" and "has a new sticker."
