Loved that truck. My grandfather bought it new and used it around his small farm. As he and I got older most of the work around the place fell to me. He signed truck over to me when I was 17. Sad thing is, the hard use and northern winter salt did it in. By '89 I had put in 2x8s for the bed and plywood floorboard on the drivers side. I ended up selling it to a guy wanted to pull the 360 engine out of it in either '90 or '91.

Moparite any pictures of the power wagon? And specs haha, love the old power wagons
Well it's been parked for years and the body work was never done (except complete floor pans) so it's not in the best shape. It's unique paint scheme was done at the local dealer level(from what i could find out). About a year after i got it a ran into another guy with the same truck. His truck was identical but he put axles from a 250 in his. The vin #'s where very close as well. He took a pic(film) with both trucks back to back. I wish i would have gotten a copy because it's the only time i have seen another like it. The motor was built with a cam,intake, ported heads, true duel exhaust, headers etc...

A pic(film) after playing in the mud. It left a mountain of mud at the coin op cleaners.





This is actual paint not a sticker.

That sucks stupid salt, it really does a number on vehicles. My 2500 is still really clean for a 99 and in the winter whenever i could i try an wash the salt off it.

Im jealous! thats an awesome truck even the way it sits! Gah i want one haha. The paint scheme is pretty cool, Guessing its kinda like how you see modern trucks(well late 80's and 90's) with the sticker decals to dress them up? Whatre some specs on this beast?

What do you mean by specks? It's basically stock other than the engine and tires. When i first got it it had side pipes! Remember those? Hows that for vintage 70's style?
