austinsailor Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 I thought I might have the only '51 Fargo pickup in Missouri, but I guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyzman Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 That truck is crazy shiny. Did you catch the clear reflection of the guy taking the pictures in the hubcaps? Nice resto, but for that money it would need to be a lot more perfect for me, no paint runs, sunpro gauges, dented horn, etc. Still a really nice looking truck.

Flatie46 Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 When I see a truck like this I always wonder how it looked before they started. I know trucks in general were used and abused back then. I like how the shifter is curved in those trucks, are the Dodges made that way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgeb4ya Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 That shifter handle looks custom shaped at the top end-never seen a dodge shifter like that. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflaming Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Is the grill custom or rare? I would prefer a black front bumper, the eye-bolt tie down is a bit rinky-dinky, and he has two sets of guages. For that kind of money one would think he would have had the original guages restored. Yet it does turn the head. NICE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Uhrich Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I thought that type of rear fenders stopped in 1950. Also the front fender ribbets are missing( covered over) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49powerwagon Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I`m glad to see that me and my dad ain`t the only ones who pick apart shiny rigs! My mom had just about stopped going to car shows with us because she always thought we didn`t like the car because we picked out all the paint runs and bondo and such:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanksB3B Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 The first time I restored (sort-of) my truck I pounded in the decomposed area where the front fenders were riveted to the fender support bracket, bondo'd the heck out of them and called it good. Next time around, and kind of getting my mind wrapped around the Don Bunn book (which I previously didn't know existed) I realized these were an important feature and went to some extent to get them looking correct by machining and welding carriage bolts. After seeing the labor of love that guys on the forum have put into their trucks, I'd have to say that the Fargo looks more like "restored to sell" than "restored to own".

jakenoklahoma Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I'm digging that Travelall next to it. Had one like that once, actually a 1310 (1 ton) 4wd Travelall.....it was a beast............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John-T-53 Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 That's a lot of black...exterior, interior, and even the engine. A few specs of dust might take a couple k off the price.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
