rather Fargos, so if anyone has a fargo or two emblem let me know----lol
i stumbled on the below info and added my two cents(1946-1980??, at least that is the last year i saw it in a parts book)
The 3/4 ton Dodge was stretched 48 inches, and the vehicle became a 6×6 wc 63 and 62. Most of the mechanical and some of the sheet metal parts were the same as those used in the 3/4-ton series, which later became the one ton power wagon which was produced from 1946 to 1980
Certain components, primarily in the driveline and suspension, were strengthened in the ton-and-a-half models, and many of these changes were incorporated into subsequent 3/4-ton production as well.
The transfer was a dual ratio in the ton-and-one-half version vs. the single speed unit used on the 3/4-ton trucks.
The second version of the “Big Dodge” was the WC-63. It differed from the WC-62 only by incorporating a Braden winch.
These vehicles are popular with collectors today because they have the “big truck” design with the ease of driving of a 3/4-ton truck. Additionally, their long wheelbase gives them a smooth ride, a total of about 43,000 WC-62 and WC-63 trucks were produced. Although within the Chrysler Corp., the Fargo Division built the trucks at Dodge’s Mound Road truck plant in Detroit.
