The body -- the yellow bit, at least -- looks as if it's been salvaged from an old US/Canadian-made school bus and cut down and shortened to fit on the truck chassis. Note the lights and blank sign window at the front. |

Kind of Dodge-looking to me. |

The school bus part is taken from a Thomas conventional school bus (1972-2006) |

Cab seems that of a GAZ(53-A)or a ZIL(130-G) |

The Cab without a doupt is an International, I have an international with the same cab, and its a box truck with the overcab area. I would say this is a non OEM combination. |

Maybe Chevrolet ? or Dodge ? |

Dodge, until proven otherwise. |

Looks like Dodge B-Series heavy-duty truck with an unusual front end. |

There's a Fargo ad on allpar.com which is helpful. 1950 VA and TA models. http://www.allpar.com/old/fargo.html Fargo is Canadian, so a truck in Cuba or Asia would more likely be a Dodge. The grille looks unusual for a Dodge, but it could be that it is missing a strip on the bottom. -- Last edit: 2012-10-11 00:56:06 |

So there's no doubt this truck is a Dodge. |
