Id love one of those. I have a 61 Jeep F170, perhaps I could mod that...

For sure, I think the old pull trucks are so cool/ different

Well I have one, I just need to figure out what to do with it. I wanted to make a car hauler (for some reason) but have no real use for it, so I am going to leave as it is but upgrade everything and go to a diesel. I was thinking a 4BT (4 cyl Cummins) but now I am thinking full on 6 cyl 12V.

Looks to be in great shape, yeah diesel would be nice but is most of the factory stuff still there? be nice restored as well.

The original engine and trans are long gone, it now has a Buick V6 in it and an AT. Definitely needs a radiator or some work on the cooling system as it overheats terribly if left idling. I haven't investigated the whole issue yet but will at some point. I think a Diesel would be a great upgrade and make it a viable tow rig.

Oh ok, yeah a diesel would be cool. a 12v wouldn't even know the truck is there lol. great looking rig though would be cool. I was looking at the Fargo today and I cant wait to get going on it, called my diesel buddy and told him what I needed to get going so when I do start it ill start a new resto thread.

Very cool on the Fargo, I will definitely want to see that.

I already have a 52 B3B Dodge PU with a 56 Desoto 330 CI hemi that I built. It would look cool on a trailer behind the FC.
