    That Nash tow truck has a '37 Chevy rear truck rear fender. And the body looks like it could have been a cut down fordor. Maybe some conversion company did them.

    I think they still make DeSoto trucks, in Turkey, or upper Slobovia, or somewhere......

    Desoto trucks were export only If I remember right. Re-branded Dodge trucks or something. Eyesight is the first to go, and I can't remember what was the second...

    The Nash truck is a legitimate truck, the wrecker bed probably came with the Chevy fenders. So were the Studebakers which used the p***enger car front ends in the mid-50s. Goofy looking and used only on the big truck ch***is.
     
  16. They sold both Dodge and Fargo trucks in Canada. The Dodge Dealer sold the Dodge trucks, and the Plymouth Dealer sold the Fargo trucks. I don't remember seeing the Fargo brand after the 50's, but they could have still been making them in the 60's.
    I own a 67 Mercury 1 ton, that was the second last year they built them in Canada.
