A few days ago I met a fellow from Sterling, CO. His name is Alan Gentz and he
owns a completely and correctly restored 1958 Swepline halfton. He let me have
a couple of pics of it to put on the net.

These truck were made from 57 to 59 with a total production of less than 1,000
units. Alan came to Saskatchewan to buy my friends' 74 Adventure with only
7,000 miles on it. Besides the 58 and now the 74 this fellow has over a dozen
rare Mopar trucks including a 66 CSS (Custom Super Sport) with a factory 426
Wedge. I will let you know when he sends me some more pics.
Cool stuff, Don, but I think they made a few more than that... ...up in your
neck of the woods they made 745 Fargo Sweptlines alone in '58 (the only year
for the Fargo Sweptline; I don't know about U.S./Canadian Dodges or DeSotos
although I have a book w/a picture of what appears to be a '57 DeSoto pickup
with rear fenders from a '56 Plymouth).
