Can anyone identify this truck?

Was driving past a horse ranch in Arizona this morning and noticed this...taken with a telephoto...no idea what it is:

Looks like an old ford?

Possibly a late model T?

Wrong rad shape I think...the top of the T was curved in a constant radius

Agreed, and upon further inspection the fenders aren't right.

It doesn't look very refined either, judging by the shape of those fenders. Possibly something pretty obscure, probably early '20s?

I would think that's about right.

I can't fight this feeling any more... it may be an REO Speedwagon.

Seriously.



Circa 1924, as above.

Reo speedwagon? Actually a genuine 'Lol' from me there!

Yep, me too, I think that's an REO Speedwagon.

Pistonheads. Speedwagon matters.

The top of the windscreen/roof thing on the speedwagon is curved. The pictured vehicle has this part as being straight

Looks to me like a Bitsa. Bitsa Ford, bitsa GM, bitsa whats ever going.

During the depression of the 30s everyone was potless, so vehicles were make do and mend, with various spare bits being bent into shape to fit vehicles of a different make. And lots of home made spare parts.

I don't know what's funnier now, the speed wagon or the bitsa

Fenders, among other things, don't match.

It's a Bitsa! Like 90% of all pre depression American vehicles.
