Power Wagon meant 4x4, so any 4x4 regardless of trim level, engine, etc would receive the Power Wagon name (Power Ram for '81 and up)
Adventurer was an accessory/appearance package, much like "Sport" or "Lariat" would be today.
It included the following:
*Bright Windsield moulding
*Bright Vent wing division bar
*Body side mouldings - paint filled (wide)
*Bright Paint filled tail gate mouldings around the tail gate depression (Sweptline only)
*Bright drip and rear window mouldings
*Bright Tail lamp bezels (Sweptline only)
*Bright hubcaps
*Bright mylar rear window mouldings (for club cabs)
*All vinyl seat trim pleated with buttons (color keyed)
*Bright moulding
*Woodgrain plaque with "Adventurer Sport" name plate
*Cigar/Cigarette lighter
*Foam core headlining - Parchment colored
*Bright Instrument cluster face plate w/ woodgrain inserts
*Formed plastic rear side and back inner trim panels (in Parchment or Black for Club cab models)
*Two tone instrument panel
The Big Horn is more difficult; the only thing I'm familiar with Dodge making in the 70's or 80's with the Big Horn name was a commercial-duty tractor trailer-type truck that lasted for 73, 74, and 75.
If it was used on a pickup at all, I would assume that it was an accessory/appearance package like it is today.
