I'll go with BillyP. It has the Fargo globe on the top of the grill.

Believe me Lang, it's a Fargo. Look at the globe on the top of the grill/bonnet in the original picture.

I don’t know which it is but we’ve got a Dodge here with the same emblem on the bonnet with a globe with Dodge on the globe

Cheers Bluey

I think it is a Fargo but what does that big long word on the side say? Both Dodge and Fargo are only short.

It does not seem to be this common one, sometimes painted, but much longer. The Globe seems to be on it though.



Dodge and Fargo ornaments.

I am sure it is a Chrysler/Dodge/Fargo/Plymouth badge engineered product. I could not read the long name badge on the bonnet but I think Swishy has it with Plymouth. The grille louvres look a little different but that may be simply because of the paint treatment. The photo of the original shows only three bonnet louvres but maybe the fourth one is hidden by the camera angle. Placement of the name script could differ by year or body builder or whatever.

By the way, no doubt it was called a truck in America but in Australia it is a Ute. In other parts of the world it could be called a Pickup, a Bakkie or any one of several other names.

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,

Now I find I can't do any work in this position!

The red photo looks like a Plymouth mascot.
