my uncle Fred drove a surplus one of those in the 50's in west virginia. not because he particularly wanted to, it was what he could afford. lots of people drove surplus jeeps also.

A buddy of mine collected power wagons for quite awhile, I'm not sure how many he had before he moved on to something else. My favorite was his fire truck.

Nice. Like the pickup Truck.
My next door neighbor/Buddy has a collection of old 1940/50's Jeeps. Pretty nice stuff.
There is a guy around here that has a Deuce and a half with a shortened bed/one rear axle that is sweet.

An old shooting buddy had the same truck, only a 1977 version. It was All Wheel Drive. Dodge wanted close to $2K
to install lock out front hubs. He bought after market hubs for about $300.00 and I installed them over a long weekend.
You are correct, the Dodge Orange could be spotted a mile away. 360 motor was a bit of a dog though.
Lots of good times in that truck !

Mine is all wheel drive too. I kind of like it that way. My 360 is really dogged out but when it was running good it had plenty of power. I wish it had the 440 or even a 383 that way the distributer would be on the front where its easy to mess with😉

Isn't Power Wagon kind of a misnomer for something that has a whopping 116hp? I do like the look of the mechanic that comes with it tho. Even in my youth she was probably an option I couldn't afford. 😀 Bob

I'll bet the spare tire on drivers was placed there for a bit body armor. That heavy duty steel rim would stop or slow down most small arms ammo.
