Your Ute is a cool machine. What all have you done to it?

Hi from Australia
Stumbled across this forum while looking for info about my Fargo Ute of uncertain vintage. As you will see from the posted photo my Fargo has been repainted by a previous owner and has lost its original paint but as vehicles of this type are rare I bought it when the chance arose. I used to have a 51 Desoto flat bed back in 1984 which I had to sell when my daughter was born. A decision that I always regretted, so after searching for about 22 years I found the Fargo and an owner who was prepared to sell. Really enjoyed following some of the builds and look forward to looking at others
The Fargo currently has a 318ci Chrysler V8 with a LPG ( Propane ) conversion, a T-Bar Auto gear box and not sure about the diff setup. It has had disc brakes put on the front and power steering out of a Landcruiser. Still unsure what I will do to it during my rebuild but I have a problem with the rear suspension shackles which are badly worn and so far I have not found any original replacements. Look forward to hearing from other members.
Latch.
 
my '47 ford and 85 t/a. not "user friendly" in these days of $4.00 gallon fuel prices. i tend to be a little heavy on the GO pedal!!

NICE!!! I always like to look at chop top photos. interesting to see how everyone does it. did you have to add any metal or was it all cut away and weld up?
 
bought a donor cab for $50.00. pretty easy job. welded and ready for filler in two days. 4" off the top, 2 1/4" out of rear window. past my bed time so i'm going to sign out for the night. look forward to talking to you more.
