1958 Reo M35 Cargo Truck
A recent visitor to Beamish Museum as part of their "Dig for Victory" event of 2021 is this very large but splendidly turned out US Army truck, affectionately known as "Alfie".
The vehicle is a 1958 8,000cc Reo M35 6x6 2.5 ton cargo truck. It is ex-US Army and carries the army code 4B3847. It was presumably imported from Continental Europe because they were never exported as surplus from the USA. This particular example is now UK registered and carries the registration number UAS 696.
The Reo M35 was introduced into the US Army in 1950 to replace the legendary GMC CCKW trucks, although the replacement programme was not completed until the mid 1960's.
