Sorry, that was misleading. I realized that when I re-read my post. The 100,000 was for all FFPW's and is a guesstimate based on some figures I have seen.
The T137.com page has the serial number ranges for FFPW's, but is not complete enough to get an exact total of Power Wagons produced.
As far as the number of Fargo FFPW's produced, who knows? Supposedly, they all went to Canada. Probably the few that are in the U.S. were brought back after being in Canada. Remember, trucks for export were produced long after they stopped being sold in the U.S.
One guy had a later export truck up in Canada, but I think it was a Dodge. So, they may have quit using the the Fargo name on later trucks. Maybe, someone here has more information.
Some Fargo trucks have a VIN number that started with, "F". I don't think that is the case with FFPW's. You would be in a position to verify that.
If the number of running or fairly complete FFPW's in the U.S. is in the low thousands (my guess) then the number of Fargo's in Canada is probably in the low hundreds based upon the lack of reports of their existence and the rougher weather and conditions up North.
I'm no expert on Fargo's. Others here know a lot more than I do. But, I don't think anybody has the information to exactly answer your questions.
