The engine was in the truck in my garage. Unfortunately I didn't turn it over once in a while. There was no water in it at all until the other day when I was getting it ready to fire it up. the engine was a good runner when I got it. I'll try the penetrating oil, I have 4 or 5 cans of PB blaster. The engine is a D43 which is a 53 Dodge car engine does any know what size it is I will need to know to get a new head gasket.

Hi all Three years ago when I got my 53 fargo it ran, when I went to start it to day it seems to be seized. We dragged it up and down the road and popped the clutch but it wouldn't free it up. is that possible that it seized up that quick and that tight? (realizing all things are possible) Thanks

Hi Gary I really appreciate that, do you use PayPal.

So far from what I have found out is up to 1978 they all looked the same. just not sure if the holes for the lines and the flex hose are the same.

the one I need its the rear one. I have been all over and no one has one that goes from flex hose to 2 brake lines.

Will the brake tee that Vintage power wagons sells on page 55 Part # 7351215 work on the rear of a 53 Fargo FP1 or Dodge B4B Thanks

do you have the 2 shift rod that go from the column to the tranny for a 53 Fargo? the ones for a B4B I think are the same. Thanks

they fit the door and the ignition on my 53 fargo

I found these at a local key shop after about 2 hours searching in old boxes they had under the counter

as far as I know they are the same

thanks

Is thier anyone who manufactures stake pockets for a 53

my grandfather always referred the the 51, 52 fenders as barrell fenders

bought this for $500, runs great.

Hello Last Saturday I bought a 53 fargo FP-1 Put it in the garage . Today I decided to see if it would start. The wiring is a mess but wired it enought go get it to roll over. The gentleman I bought it from said that it has been sitting since 1976 but what the heck (try anything once or ten time) Did all the usual stuff fresh gas etc. Rolled over about 6 time and started right up. you should have seen the smile on my face. Now for the questions Is a 53 dodge b4b the same truck I can find a wiring diagram for the dodge but not for the FP-1. Also did they make two styles of doors mine does not have vent windows, is it supposed to. Next I think someone changed the motor I'm sure that the number should start with T307 mine is a D43 or did they come with both? Thanks Wilf
