I think that ugly looking model was built after Diamond Reo became "Diamond Reo Giant". Not sure, but I seem to remember some advertisements for those from Giant. I don't think they built very many of them.

I'd like to see the tailgate
FOOOORD

The shop the boss built for Penske, didn't make the bays long enough. Can't get a truck and
A train/ or 53' together in a bay and work on both at same time.
