1971 Fargo 1/2 ton

Post by Alvis »

This is my old 71 Fargo. Originally a Sasketchewan Dept. of Highways truck, I bought it in 1994. It came with a slant 6 auto, and 3.55 gears in the back. The cab had a serious rot issue, no floors and almost no brakes! It also lacked power sterring and power brakes. One of the first (if not THE FIRST!) flat black rat rods around.
I eventually put a 360 V8 in it backed up by a 727 Torqueflite. It ran a best time of 10.00 seconds on the eighth mile!
Unfortunatley, I do not know where the truck is anymore.
