Jack Bennett Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I need a transmission and drive shaft, as well as some brake lines and tires for a 1928 Fargo Express, 1/2 ton panel delivery. The truck has a straight six cylinder engine which has a number beginning with “J”. I know this number does not appear on the numerous lists of Dodge, Plymouth, Chrysler, Fargo and DeSoto vehicles, and I REALLY don’t know why. It says “SILVERDOME” on the head, so I must assume it is a Chrysler Corp engine. Any help with a transmission and drive shaft, or even a educated guess at what other Chrysler vehicles used this engine will be appreciated.

28 Chrysler Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 The drive shaft you may want to have a modern one made to fit. Post the head part number it is left side by the #5 spark plug to help ID the engine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pre1939chrysler Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 The head will have a serial number starting with 7, if I remember correctly. I know The motor ,without doubt is a 1928 Chrysler model 72 the serial number is on the block driver side above the water jacket covers, under the head ans behind the water pump. The motor is rhe same as a 1929 Chrysler model 75. I don’t know if I have a 72 but do have 2 , 75s. E mail me , I'm at my hunting camp until I get a deer.

pre1939chrysler Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I also have the trans and possibly the drive shaft. Nothing else will match. I think the Fargo took a dodge motor? Astheime@ptd.net ³ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
