Vehicle Description
With over $150,000 invested in the build (invoices are included),
this is a real one-of-one, completely custom Dodge. The power plant
for this custom began as a 1958 354ci HEMI truck motor that was
built and stroked to 392ci. A host of go-fast goodies were
installed, including a Hot Head intake and Holley carburetor. All
plumbing was completed with braided stainless-steel lines and
fittings, and all wiring is tucked and shielded nicely. The HEMI
engine delivers its power through a recently rebuilt Turbo 400
automatic transmission. The suspension and drivetrain are
completely custom to this Dodge, and everything is chrome-plated.
In the back, a Ford 9" rear end was made square with a custom
4-link setup and is mated to a custom air-ride system. An onboard
compressor provides comfort and traction. Born from a '39 Dodge
truck, this vehicle has undergone meticulous work. The cab and
original doors are chopped and mated to the custom seam-welded
chassis. The bed was fabricated and a closed gate is embossed with
"Fargo." Everything is powder-coated or painted in a deep Jet
Black, and layer after layer of clear was applied to achieve that
stunning finish. The front grille is from a '35 Ford truck that has
been modified to match the contour of the Dodge. Custom lights in
front and '49 Lincoln Zephyr taillights complete the custom look
and are all wired via a custom chassis wiring harness. The interior
is completely custom from door to dash, all wrapped in the finest
materials. All stitching was done by hand to produce a high-quality
fit and finish. Custom instrumentation completes the interior.
