IIRC this was sold as a Fargo in Canada.

Weren't they sold as both Dodge and Fargo in Canada? or were they only sold as Fargo up there?

Yeah, I thought they got both brands.

I'm pretty sure that this one's the Dodge. As far as I know, the Fargo version only came as a passenger version, along with a few companies converting some of them to Class C Motorhomes, but there never was a cargo version.

The Tradesman was sold as both the Dodge and Fargo in Canada: Link to "www.ebay.com" , http://www.mclellansautomotive.com/photos/B29803.jpg also the Class C motorhomes are built on the Tradesman Cargo body not the Sportsman passenger model.

No. As far as I can tell, the Class C ones were almost always based on Sportsman's Link to "www.google.com" Just have a look at this one /vehicle_65683-Dodge-Sportsman-B-300-1971.html and this one /vehicle_272598-Dodge-Sportsman-B-300.html You're probably thinking of the Tradesman based Class B motorhomes Link to "www.google.com"

No. As I've already explained: /vehicle.php?id=424520 They would be based on a chassis cab, not a van or a minibus.

Quote Once the B-vans appeared, a new Class C van-cab chassis was added between the chassis-mount motor homes and full-size class A campers. “Mr. Establishment” wrote that a popular setup for these through the early 1980s was the 440 engine with Thermoquad carburetor, Load-Flite automatic, and 4.10 Dana 70 axle. Eralov wrote that Class C motor homes were produced before the B-vans — he owns a 1967 A-series Class C made by Lazy Daze Motorhomes.
