Description


The Dodge Power Wagon was a four wheel drive pickup truck produced from 1945 through 1969. This early version was based on a military truck and is a predecessor to the many four wheel drive pickups in use today. The civilian Power Wagon was introduced in 1946. It was based on the 3/4-ton Army truck's chassis with a civilian cab and a purpose-designed 8-foot cargo box (an 8-foot bed that never needs to be made! Ha!).

In 2005 Dodge resurrected the Power Wagon name on a version of the Dodge Ram. It is a special off-road version of the Ram 2500 with a 5.7L Hemi V8 as the only engine option.

Hmm...I'll try not to take your last line personally (how could you know?).
This has to be my favorite of all your rust nostalgia shots. It has a really happy feel to it, despite its advancing age. Kinda like me, I think!
Beautiful work, Jim. #6112451
