That body sure is clean.
I wonder if the truck came from western area, Most old truck material around
Ohio is just junk. nothing left of the metal.

It was in the far western states and most old stuff from that area is not too bad looking from what I have seen of it! thanks; sonny

Yeah, it is amazing just how stuff will not deteriorate out there in some locations. I was stationed at Edwards AFB in the desert in 1960-1961 and can remember seeing old cars and trucks with the paint sandblasted thin or off in some areas and the cars did not rust beyond surface rust.

it is a right hand drive with a single wiper. Are there provinces in Canada that
drive on the left side of the road?

Looks like UK, and Queensland, AU. have them!---also the Fargo is Dodge for export,---so they look the same as Mopar!----I though when the pic first came up it was an old Doge! thanks; sonny

Interesting story, I also found out they are still being built in Turkey, absolutely no connection to the prior Dodge arraignment. Most of them seem to been built in Ca, after the depression
