I'm fairly familiar with GM's Canadian brands and models.
I've never heard of the Fargo before .
Heck ,as clean as it is ,I'd buy it just to see the DMV's expression when I apply for plates and a title

That is a CLEAN truck!!!!

A lot of Fargo’s were a little fancier than Dodge. They were discontinued in 1972.
My grandfather had a Fargo that had the headlights on top of the fenders. Late 30’s.
Our son has a 52 Fargo that his godfather had redone about 1983. ALL replacement parts had a Chrysler/Mopar part number.
Off topic, Mercury dealers sold Mercury trucks here.

Not many left in that condition I would think. Very nice truck.

Last minute bidding war I suspect....

Shot up to 24K in the latest few minutes...wow.

And still going

I love that 2-minute reset every time a bid goes up.

Seller must be sitting back having a good chuckle...this could go on for a while.

I think that's the whole point of an auction. To not settle for the least amount ..

$30-$31K now, it's still a great clean looking 4wd truck
Fargo was just the Canadians version of D or W series Dodge PUs

I'd love to have that truck, even if only a lowly 318cid
it's a short-bed short w/b 4x4, W100 Power Wagon, very desirable

I'd rather have that than any new truck
Unfortunately In my case
It just ain't worth dealing with customs & going to Canada to get it
that crap just adds thousands more to the cost/price

rlhug is not f***ing about....he wants it.

I'm trying to figure out the 8 bolt wheels on a semi floating 8 3/4

 

[kiwigtx]

Closed....nice price...

Hub adaptors? Or maybe it was a special on those axle housings.

 

[Budnicks]

They're 8 holes in the wheels, as stated "8 Hole Wheels"
(like American Racing or US Mag or something) not 8 Lug wheels

It will be a similar setup to Land Rover and other makes I think.
