I am painting on the satin black and buying a sticker stripe kit off of EBay just like this....



Except I am leaving the blue blue....

 

Can't wait to see the end result!

 

All this Power Wagon talk and me wanting to paint mine like one and here I go and find one for sale last night! Well sort of! At least I am on the hunt for the owner....here's the story.

I am a Hillbilly in a way as I live way up in the mountains outside Albuquerque New Mexico at 7500ft above sea level. I have a small ten acre ranch that I raise Goats and a Sheep on for my Kids 4H shows. A buddy who lives a few KM away has a fairly close neighbor who lives about 200m away from him. Anyway, I have been admiring the totally stock almost all there Power Wagon sitting on blocks in the neighbors land. Last night the buddy mentions the owner of the land says he wants that "THING" and the other two THINGS out of there....I almost crap myself because the thing is the power wagon, one of the other things is a 1972 Plymouth Duster that is pretty straight. And I have a 340 six pac motor in my garage.......Pics to follow.....BTW, what year of the real old 70s power wagons had a pair of rectangular head lights one over the other on each side? NEVER MIND! Figured out it is a 1979 looks like this (front end wise)


But the colour is this one...



except it has the Yellow wheels.

 

I agree with sixgun. A sexy yellow accent stripe would compliment it well.

 

Yep, the 79 and 80 models had the stacked lights so it could be either one. Are you gonna try and get it? Man, I would make it happen. Assuming it's in decent shape. Get some pics and share. Take down the vin and look it up. There's a vin decoder either on DF or RCC. Trade some goats for it and tell your son that one of the trucks will be for him when he gets older. LOL

 

I should know what he wants for it in the next few weeks and will pick it up for sure. What motors were available in them in the 79~80 years? It looks like either a small block or possibly a mid block.
