I have a 1956 dodge fargo and it was original till someone burned it up with camp fuel.
I am now into mudrunning and need to know weather i should monster it up and get it dirty. I think it would look sweet and besides parts for 1956 dodge forgo are hard to find.
So give me some feedback as to what yall think.

Should i take it back to origional or have some fun with it and turn it into a one of a kind (Little Red Swamper) and show it off?? Kind of like a little red exspress on steroids.

That is my question??

 

Hey Dude..Ya got pics of it?? what size engine is in it, and what was its purpose when it was new?? love to see it.... I think, if you can, you should restore it... there has to be parts for it somewhere..... love to hear from ya regarding.......................GUIDO

 

HMM lets see put it on a dodge ram chassie with the 5.7 liter Hemi and some nice wheels and restore the body and interior back to stock. I like the resto custom look.

 

What do you mean bu burned up w/ camp fuel? I would probably go full resto

 

Dodge94 The interior was completly burned out ,the roof warped, the back of the cab warped,and all the windows blew out of it.
Steering columb ,all dash gages and wiring gone.
Everything bolted to firewall burned.
The poor thing is a mess. A gallon of camp fuel can creat alot of heat.
Customizing it would cost me less than restoring it.

 

Sounds like its time to open up a can o whoop ****.[:@] Seriously though, was the fire an accident or more towards arson? I'd be pissed either way.

If it were me, I'd make it custom as it is easier to do than a resto for that model. Take your time and learn. Most importantly have fun and become friends with someone at a junkyard.

 

guido7 i can't find pictures of it but it looks very close to this one i found on the net. .
