1949 Fargo Truck Restoration Update

Max

The choice of staying with the white guards looks great and the little bit of black from the Fender Welting sets it off.

Your tray/workbench looks like mine at the moment, just the correct height to work/store things.

Keep up the fantastic work.

Hi all. Thank you everyone for all the encouraging comments. I must say the quality of work in both repairing and painting the cab by Matt and Ken and the team at MLS Truck Repairs at Riverstone has been top shelf.

Jbran - the lights are a Narva kit for all Lucas 7inch headlights. I reused all the original light housing and parts. The only problem I had with the headlights was I couldn't source the rubber gasket that goes between the light body and the mud guard, so I ended up making them.

Trevor - all truck parts and incidentals are stored on the tray [on blankets of course].

Actually, the truck colour is a light beige. Every time I take a photo, the flash goes off which makes it look white.

Cheers, Max

Max, thanks for the info on the lights. Your resto continues to be a massive education.

Hi all. Wondering if anyone can help....... the voltage regulator on the Fargo is a Lucas RF95, used a lot between the mid 1940's to the early 1950's.

Does anybody have a wiring diagram off any vehicle with the same regulator? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Max.

The wiring diagram for my 54 Dodge (car) is found in the workshop manual - doesn't your workshop manual show one??

Hi all. Many thanks to John and Diane and DesotoDave for emailing the information on the regulator.
Slantie unfortunately I don,t have a workshop manual have not been able to source one .
Cheers Max.

If you need any more help with that, I have a commer superpoise workshop manual which has a wiring diagram with that regulator in it. I can scan and email a picture if you like?

Give this a shot.

It's for a '53-'55, but the multi-wired regulator looks very similar on yours as it does to the later models.

Hi all.... just thought I would post a before and after of the wiring just finished.

Great work Max,

you'll Drive It to Dubbo yet.............
