As the Rookies seem to be asleep, perhaps the Experts know this one?

Is there a Pro who recognizes this little pickup?

Is this perhaps an early Fargo light pick-up by The Fargo Motor Car Company of Chicago?  The company produced light express type delivery trucks from 1913 until 1922.  Chrysler purchased the company, and revived the Fargo brand in 1928.  At that time the light trucks were called Fargo Packet, but I don;t know if the Packet brand was a carry over from the earlier Fargo (of Chicago) vehicles.

Sorry 4popoid but your answer led me to find the puzzle truck, it's not a Fargo Packet, it's a 1916 Packet 600lb Express at the Hays Antique Truck Museum, Woodland, Ca

One point awarded to ropat53 for the complete answer.

It looked like such a small truck in the picture, and I liked the name, so it had to become a puzzle.
