    Well in around about way... was looking for a older dodge truck.. and ended up with something different.... Not to much info on them yet... but appear to be 1959 Fargo's with the poly 318s in them... both 1/2 tons.... One with big window and 1 with small window... Plans in making them a newer style truck.. So parts might be available... question is my VIN numbers really dont go into the web to figure out anything.... and is the big window (rear) a rare type ?? Im not new to trucks/cars.... but the older dodge ones I am...

    here is the VIN
    2140911757 for the first one,

    2140912694 for the second one...

    I have a guy really interested in the big window... But that is the better one.... and plan to upgrade it... it also has the hood ornament... which i see is an option.... any body have a break down of these units?? Google don't seem to be any help thanks!!

    Since you posted this twice I will post it here too.

    Welcome from South Korea, http://www.townwagon.com/powergiantregistry/index.php
    Here is a registry I believe (its been awhile) when you register your truck here is does a complete break down of the vin and it was damn accurate too. I couldn't find anything on my 57 Dodge's Vin till I went there.
    And the Big window cab (Customcab) is rarer than the small window (standard cab) being a pricier Item and in a farm truck most people would go cheap, while not Super rare it is rarer than the other and with how rare these trucks are already is definitely something to be proud of. Also the Custom cab option usually came with two sun visors instead of the driver only like the standard cab, it also had upgraded seat material (I don't remember what exactly it was) and a p***enger side arm rest in the interior. Hope this helps if you have any more questions feel free to ask.

    Also I forgot to mention here is a link to a good thread on the HAMB where a lot of the Dodge/Fargo guys hangout and have lots of good referencing (pictures) and knowledge on these trucks.

    I tried to run the VIN's you put here and it does not recognize them are they correct they do not look right to me?... I dont know about 59's VINs they changed alot of things in 58. And personally I would keep the big window and junk the small window, they are better looking, safer and a lot more comfortable to use when driving not trying to see around a huge B-pillar.
