Hi All

I'm looking into trucks to convert for an around the world trip. I've
been particularly looking at the Reo M35 and M55 and have a few thoughts
that I'd like to discuss with someone!

1) Firstly would anyone recommend this as an applicable vehicle, or is
there another vehicle you would advise for such a journey?
2) Does anyone know what the supply of parts of these vehicles is like
around the world?
3) Multi-fuel Diesel or Turbo Diesel? I'm considering Multi-fuel for
the trip as it gives quite a wide range of options, but for such a long
journey would this kind of engine live up to the requirements?
4) Also does anyone have a specific list of what fuels can be used in
the Multi-fuel engine (really emergency type fuels to get going again if
there was no Diesel around!)
5) Does anyone know if a Multi-fuel Diesel engine could be converted or
run on LPG?
6) Anyone know what the approx MPG of the Reo M35 is?

Finally if anyone has any suitable trucks for sale based in the UK can
you email me some details (spec, pics and price)!

Thanks for any Help
Mike
