Thanks for all the help so far. This old girl just doesn't want to give up her secrets. Both frames have had some resto work done previous to me and all the numbers have been removed. ? The cab has gone thru a floor repair long ago and it looks like the original colour was red. What would the best guess be as to what the truck originally was based on cab and front? Was it a b series ect? Don't know if these will help. Thanks again

Unfortunately I just have the 1 ton frame and driveline, no box or running boards. I am leaning towards using them 8.8 and the 1/2 ton axle upgraded to disc.

My body tag is the only real ID I have on this truck. It is 5112-20012. The truck does have the 2 piece front window. The box and fenders that I have with the truck are not original to the truck. Cool finding someone in the province with something similar.

I won't be able to get to look at over till Monday or Tuesday. I'm going to get wheelbase lengths of both trucks and more pictures. Is there and numbers or telltale markings to look for to determine what they front and rear axles are?

I'm not going to be using them original rims. They do look pretty sketchy.

Thanks Tom. That engine is on the rolling frame. Looks like someone started a resto of some kind on it. The number on the other pretty crusty engine starts with a M7? The spare is just sitting on the back of the frame. Its resting on a Ford 8.8 that came with the project.

It didn't even occur to me that the frame could be a different manufacturer. Here are the photos I have. I will need to go too the shop to get more later

I purchased a 51-53 Fargo 1/2 ton project and need some help figuring out exactly what I have. The young fella I got it from is no help as he thought it was a 50 Fargo. The main truck itself doesn't have any vin or serial tags other than a body number. The frame is pretty crusty so the kid bought a second rolling frame and driveline. It is obvious to me that the frame is not the same and also has no tags. The frame has 6 bolt rims and is definitely longer and beefier. The fuel tank runs along the driver side of the frame instead of across it. I haven't been able to find much info out about these searching the web. Any help would be appreciated. I will try to get some pics loaded up shortly. Thank you
