I recently dragged home a FAT Cab 13 cab and a nice straight frame/winch set up. A week later I came across this sitting on top of an old Dodge/Fargo, and I am bringing it home as well. I guess it might be a starting point for a restoration, but "SHHEESSH", am I nuts!!!

floor and top roof???

Default Yes, you are nuts

What the heck part of an FAT am I looking at Rob? Thought you'd cured yourself of the restoration bug — guess not.

Default hi rob

Dont Know much about FAT tractors but that looks like an original Body base, as wheel boxes are still in place, Maybe more work to rebuild it as an original but worth a lot more when finished. Perhaps if you do decide to fit that Fargo body you will adveritise the FAT floor before you cut it loose.A few more pictures would help as well if you do decide to sell it.
Which ever way it goes good luck.
