Hello, I have just purchased this Fargo Kew in South Australia. Finding it hard to get information about it. The plate says it’s a Model F-64 with serial number 22372. Love to know more about it and what it’s worth mostly any part distributor links. It gets delivered next week and I’ll start the resto immediately.

Dodge,Fargo and De Soto (all the same just badge engineered) each list a 64 model between 51 and 53

Dodge = D64
Fargo = F64
De Soto = S64

If you go to Mopar Flathead Six Truck Forum you will get lots of info including factory spec charts for all motors.

The KEW motor was 117hp.

Known in it's country of build as a Kew Dodge, the other names were export brands for marketing reasons.
The famous film Hell Drivers with an all star cast features the tipper version of the Dodge and lots of them. Not many around with nice cabs like yours.

Welcome Matt
There was a resto project of a similar truck on here about 10 + years ago, Old Mate did a brilliant job on it.
