paulus Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Hello all, my name is Paul and I'm from The Netherlands. I'm restoring a 1945 civilian Fargo FL 4-60 truck and I liked to ask your help on this problem I have. Point is I need a new exhaust manifold but for some reason this seems impossible to find here. I know some people who have one but most of them even don't answer my e-mail. Others say they will have a look but that is where the story ends............ I wonder if there is anybody of you military people who knows where I could find such a Canadian manifold? Many thanks, Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulus Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 Hello all, it seems I have found a manifold. It's still in the US, no idea how long it takes to get it here. The corona virus makes it very difficult over there. Regards, Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for a right hand drive exhaust manifold for a Canadian D15 ( outlet to the front for right hand drive trucks to clear the steering box) so far I'm having the same problems as you and have not had any luck sourcing one.

paulus Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Pete, I have a left hand drive truck. I'm afraid the manifolds for the right hand drive trucks are even more difficult to find. Succes and regards, Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply Paul, yes I'm finding it is very difficult to track down a RH drive manifold, there must be one out there somewhere.it will just take time to find it. regards Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulus Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Pete, I have a friend in Australia and he is a Fargo man also. I'll contact him to ask if he knows where to find one. Regards, Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulus Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 Hi Pete, according to my friend in Australia these manifolds are very rare and extremely hard to find. He also told me there are 6 or 7 different models, and the best choice if you can find it is the model with the outlet roughly at the level of the second piston. If the outlet is on the front the heat can cause problems with your fuel pump (vapour lock). The partnumber of such a manifold is 1122472. Someone I know in the US recommended "Vic's Dodge Garage", he seems to have rare parts sometimes, perhaps you can try him if you did not already. Succes, Paul.
