Re: [FWDLK] urban legend car

Whatever engines were available in a Dodge Truck were available in a Fargo
Truck or DeSoto Truck.

It should be remembered that Fargo and DeSoto trucks were just Dodge trucks
with a different name for certain markets and dealers.    Contrary to what
many believe, the Fargo truck was not a Canada-only vehicle, and not all
Fargo trucks sold in Canada were built in Canada.

As for the Jefferson Avenue plant, it built 122" wheelbase Dodges from 1961
to 1964 and C-body Dodges in 1966,  The first Plymouth built at Jefferson
Avenue since the very early 1930's was the 1981 Plymouth Reliant when the
plant was converted to FWD production.    C-body Plymouths were never built
a Jefferson,

Thanks Mike for a reply to my query, which was it logistical possible for
this to happen in a Mopar factory.  Looks like not.
So, here's another fun question.  Hemi's were available in Dodge trucks.
What about Fargo trucks?

Probably right here. I'm told the Los Angeles plant
built New Yorkers some years but usually handled
nothing bigger than Windsors. (My '57 was built in
LA). I don't think Jefferson built Plymouths until
well into the '60s (probably late '60s at that).
