WHO: Warwick Andrews
WHAT: 1947 Fargo
What The Owner Had to Say About Their Ride:
Chain Smoker is a 1947 Fargo reclaimed from a Canadian field with original matching patina on every panel and no body filler. Owner Warwick Andrews sculpted its chain body panels using design cues from Art Deco era cars mixed with modern day Rat Rods. 12v 6BT Cummins diesel crate engine built with only high performance aftermarket parts and machine work. Compound turbo setup, 74mm turbo feeding nasty 96mm. NV4500 manual transmission with stage 6 clutch. Boxed frame with inner tube frame and full interior cage. 14” rear c-notch, four link rear with Watts link. Chain widebody built using 300ft+ of chain from a 1940’s decommissioned elevator (600ft overall). During a burnout, smoke plumes through the rear widebody chains while simultaneously rolling out the exhaust stack into its surrounding chains, which is when the name Chain Smoker truly comes into play.

I’m 22 years old from BC, Canada, and I built this truck by myself in the garage. It’s a 2004.5 GMC Sierra 2500HD. I went frame off on this truck, and powder coated every single piece of the undercarriage in a gold metallic gloss orange, with black accents. It has a 9” McGaughys lift, with 26×14 AF Draco\’s and 40/15.50 Fuel Grippers. There’s a ton of custom touches on this truck, such as the wrap, grille, trac bars and more. The interior is one of a kind with custom blue leather and a ton of other one off touches. I put my heart and soul into creating the truck of my dreams, and also achieved my life goal of attending SEMA with it.
