Now that is a nice old piece, looks in ok shape to for something with a lot of birthdays to its name.
Would be a TJ Richards body i think. Bet the old side valve lives with a bit of thumbing.
Whats your plans for it.

G'day truckiejas and welcome to the forum.
When the pic of your Fargo Deluxe popped up on the screen I thought "mmmmm that's a tidy little treasure".
Then I saw you are in SA, so here's hoping we can coerce you into joining the HCVC and coming along to our week-end touring events. The Fargo will fit in real
well.
Good luck with restoration.
Geoff
PS what part of SA are you in?

Drop the plugs out and spin it over a while with no compression and no spark to get the oil circulating around everywhere. It might even register some oil pressure if it has a gauge fitted. Once you've given it a bit of a "dry run", stick the plugs back in and crank it up.i bought a battery yesterday and have changed the oil and ready to fire it up. any tips to starting it up?

well i put some fuel in it today and dropped some oil in each cyl and cranked it over for a bit as bulgy suggested.
put the plugs back in and got a few coughs and splutters out of it before the battery started to get down.
so while the charger is on i might have a look at the fuel bowl/filter and see if it is full of crap as it seemed as though there wasn't much fuel coming through.

WOW! That is such a great example - and boy begin a Fargo it is rare - thankyou for saying you are going to keep it original!!
To get it going if you can run petrol out of a subtitute tank (i.e a small boat fuel tank etc) do so. Check you have spark and it should fire up aok. The side valves in these things are prity good old things!
Can you post a few photos of the back end as well? :
Get onto the guys from the Chrysler Restorers Club of Australia - SA branch - they would be more than glad to help out!
MoPar - and don't you forget it!
