Every year we have our family reunion in or near the mountains of NC during the month of October. This truck was rescued by some distant kin from the depths of Lake Lure, a very deep lake near Chimney Rock, NC. It's a 1917 Reo and was used to deliver ice until it wrecked and ended up in the lake. It was very deep and sat there for many years until some people got together to get it out. It was discovered by some divers way below the oxygen level so it remained somewhat preserved. I remember riding on this truck as a younger man and it is still brought to the reunion every year.
The last is a pic of the engine. I think Reo even made their own engines but I'm not sure. I was told this year that a replacement spark plug cost $27 if you can find them.
