I currently own a 1974 Dodge Power Wagon W100.
Its a short wide box and it has some cancer...
It is my baby though.
I started this thread to ask if anyone has a Short Wide Box for sale?
That...is in ok shape.

This is mine:

Welcome, you might have to learn bodywork and paint. I can see a lot of potential on your's just takes time and money. LOL a lot more time than money if you do it yourself.

Welcome to the forums! that truck is pretty awesome, i would definately get one and fix it up if i had a chance. Like they said above it just takes time and money. Maybe someone around here will have what youre asking for and dont be shy to ask questions theres plenty of great people on these forums.

A question for ya all:
I have some property with a 75 Dodge W200 sitting in the brush roughly 5 years ago it was running.
Its a workhorse version as they call 'em.
If I am correct it has the Dana60 rear end.
My rear end in the truck above is...well sloppy and was recently welded cause there was a huge crack in the housing.
It still leaks.
I want to swap the rear ends. I think having a 3/4ton (8 lug) rear end in mine would be pretty awesome and would be bullet proof.
Anyone know how hard this would be? will it bolt up without fabricating extra pieces?
Will my driveline connect up with no issue?

I just want it running again...without running the chance of my rear end going out leaving me stranded. ha.

If its leaking and it isn't right I would swap it also. In the interest of $ I would try to get same lug pattern, unless your going to build an all around beast.
