1938 Fargo

[RobertKB]

Went to a tractor show today and there were also lots of old cars and trucks on display. Fellow there had a '38 Fargo which his father had bought new. It was worked to death over the years and parked for many more. Three years ago he decided he was going to restore it and here it is. He said it was extremely rough as it had been rolled in its lifetime and the box was really beat up from picking rocks. I have seen lots of Fargo trucks in Canada but never one this old. Something a little unusual.

I also included a picture of my '53 Plymouth by the old elevator that the tractor club has on its site and restored. I did the same thing last year with my '48 Dodge. I also included a picture of the elevator engine (one lunger) that was used to power everything.

It was very hot for here at about 92F but my old Plymouth ran just slightly hotter than normal, just over the halfway mark! I had a great day.

David, that is a nice truck you have. The Fargo is basically a Dodge truck rebadged as a Fargo. Thanks for posting the pictures of your truck for comparison.
