That is my dream truck. 20 years ago, I had just sold our house and had a few bucks. Found a Power Wagon in running order and 90% intact. Flat army green paint. $8K. Passed it up out of practicality as I needed to put the money to work and the truck would have been more or less a toy. Still think about it.
But if I ever hit it big...

Years back Ram did a concept truck along the lines of an updated Power Wagon. I saw it at the Detroit Auto Show and had a pic for years hoping they would make it. Sadly, they missed the opportunity. It would have been a home run. It was around the time of the Prowler and they were making some statement vehicles.
It would still be a hit if they revived the idea.

Never fails, anytime I see a vehicle that makes my nipples hard, I can guarantee it's something I can't afford. Even if I don't know the brand or model, if it takes my breath...I can't afford it. I'll look it up, research it, & yep, should have known, it's expensive.
Kind of a bitch to have Champaign taste & a beer pocketbook.

this one too: Cool truck. It doesn’t look like it would set any land speed records but I bet it could crawl over most anything in low gear.

And to think the line guys used to beat the crap out of these things at my Dad's company. They could take a beating.

Here's my 1960 FC 150. Had it for 48 years this July. It was rusted out pretty bad, but the dump bed worked and got me back and forth to school. I bought it for $450, has 5:38 gears with a 4 speed, a Lincoln locker in the rear and a Detroit locker in the Dana 44 front end.
Life is good live it while you can.

I drove a Dodge Powerwagon for a fire season in 1962, in steep country, supplying groceries and water to fire lookouts. Yes, it was really 'cool', but as I recall, the brakes were very hard...back jammed in the seatback, both hands with a death grip on the wheel for more leverage. Steering?...sweet jeezus, I only weighed maybe 130 pounds, but I couldn't turn the steering wheel with the vehicle stopped, you had to rock the vehicle to turn around in a tight place. One lookout was 25 miles from the station, only about 3,000 ft higher and it took 12 to 14 gallons to make the trip...how that little flathead 6 could burn that much gas, I know not. They are a lot more fun to look at than drive.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

I like the Power Wagon, and I also like what Rtech Fabrications does to old Chebys. All out of my price range but a guy can dream.
