The normal REOs chassis numbers we have found one on each ch (2 chassis) one on the L and 1 on the R side (i think Colin could tell u more) very lightly stamped ,but we were wondering if anyone has an idea where the 980 numbers would most likely be found.

Definitely a 980...not a 981. Possibly a 1942 model. I used to own one the same. I also have a few NOS parts for sale. Just let me know if I can help out with anything. lendlease.

Hi Lendlease,i take it the 981 is the later soft top cab version is it?
Do you have a list of what you,ve got,im sure Colin would be very interested in anything that may be useful.
We havent had a realy good look at all the dash gauges etc yet,the interior paint is really flaking and needs a tidy up just to assess whats what,the starter motor is missing and motor turns over a little bit but sounds like the generator might be locked up and stopping it,another thing we just have to investigate further.

Well actually the main difference between the 980 and 981 is the provision for the winch cable to be played out through the front bumper. It has nothing to do with the cab type. I think I have a starter motor here...and a NOS in box generator. No list at present. Best to ask if you need something.
