Looks to be early 30's I'd think, did you look on the drivers door where the hinges are between door and body for another plate?

First fargo trucks built in usa 1913-1922, chrysler bought fargo in 1928.....so it could be a 28? First fargo in canada was 1936, so I'm guessing you have a american fargo in canada that predates 36.

There were 2 fargo trucks the packet with a 4 banger and the clipper which was longer. 1930 fargo put the desoto 6 under the hood.....maybe you have a 1930?

1930 was the last year for usa production export only across the world from plants in canada.

heck of a find...that is going to be a "boldy go" build....you going to need be up on your metal fabrication..this comes under personal challenge...Wish you the best....this will make an interesting build thread.

I love that floor. I'm thinking to eliminate the risk of some cat burning down my shop if I weld in a new floor, a well fitted marine plywood floor would do just fine and be rust proof.

That is really neat - nothing like that in my part of the world.  Since all of the "Snow Birds" started moving to Texas, all I find in barns is boxes of unpacked cold weather gear, snow-shovels, etc.

Just kidding, sort of.  The Snow Birds, large city folks, hot-rodders and the dreaded metal crusher have pretty much eliminated barn finds in my part of the world.  Very seldom do I see something, and I am out and about all over back roads and other folks ranches almost every weekend (part of my second job).  Now when I find some old hulk under a tree, in barn, whatever..., the owner's think they have a Barrett-Jackson top seller.  I go into shock when they make me a price and they go in to shock when I tell them about what it would cost me to fix it up, and what I would offer for it.

On the other hand, I have two friends in the "restore old Fords" business.  They are constantly having people call them with barn find Fords.

Engine number???  Another place to look for the serial number plate is the sheet metal where the seat mounts.

Good luck with it.  More fun to get it running and driving than making it concourse material.

Well looks like the farm was purchased at auction and the current owners are saving the truck for their 20 year old son. Kinda disapointing as he will let it rot. Saved pics at least not truck.

Sounds like another one to be disassembled, abandoned, parts lost,then sold to the scrapper. What a shame. Wish you had gotten it.
