I doubt that anybody has a handle on the number of FFPW's left. In running, or nearly so condition, I would think the number would be in the low thousands.
Around 100,000 FFPW's were produced. The Fargo Power Wagons all came out of the Detroit plant.
I assume Fargo trucks had the Fargo logo stamped in the tail gate, but I haven't seen a photo of one that I remember. You'd be pretty lucky to find one of these tailgates in usable condition.
Here's a fairly detailed history of the Fargo truck. Apparently, the name is still used for some trucks used in Turkey, but they are of Japanese manufacture.
