The Fargo was a line of trucks that Chrysler produced in, first, in
1929 through early-1931 model years. The mechanicals were based
on Plymouth, DeSoto or Chrysler engines. They were assembled
in both Detroit and Windsor, Ontario. (See "The Plymouth and
DeSoto Story" by Don Butler.)
The second Fargo Truck appeared during 1936 for Canadian
Plymouth-Chrysler dealers. Dodge-DeSoto dealers had the Dodge Truck.
Chrysler of Canada sold Fargo Trucks up to, and including, 1972
for the Canadian market. By the way, the larger trucks, over 3-ton,
were imported from Detroit. The Fargo Truck was built in the
United States for export markets until at least 1987. (If you own
a Dodge Truck from the 1970's into the 1980's, look at the door
jam plate - it has Dodge - Plymouth - DeSoto - Fargo on it.)
The Fargo name was used by Chrysler in the U.S. during the early
1930's for vehicles, cars and trucks, sold to the American military.
