fargo vs dodge serial numbers

Post by marklein »

Does the serial number always indicate Dodge? If I run my 67 Fargo PW through the vin decoder, it shows Dodge. I am just wondering if there is a definitive way to differentiate whether a truck is a Dodge or a Fargo.

That may be a question for Eric Bannerman. He has written books on VIN decoding for various years of Dodge and Fargo trucks. I supplied him with various VIN tag pics of Canadian trucks and some US built trucks. :thinking :thinking :salut

There doesn't seem to be anything in the VIN that tells Dodge vs. Fargo. The plate itself is probably enough. Early Canadian built trucks had a different serial number system than US built trucks but those could be either Dodge or Fargo.

Have a look at this thread, I posted some pics in it. Right at the top of the vin plate it says dodge or Fargo
