Thanks to John Seidts for the pix of the Reo. No, I'm not looking to buy a
C2 it's just that I've always heard Dad talk about what a monster this rig
was and I'm curious about it. Now we have info from Dr.Deuce that the
Hercules merely had two cylinder heads on one block. This makes a lot more
sense than Dad's recollection of two engines in series. Dad never was a
mechanic and could easily make this error. However he says definately
Autocar not Reo. He says the cab was so huge you could put one or two guys
between the driver and the left door. It carried generator powered work
lights, big klaxon horn and had large exposed front shocks he said used
oleo as the fluid. He says three rear axles. He used to tear along the dirt
roads near Accra, Gold Coast (now Ghana) blasting the klaxon, scattering
natives goats & chickens.
