My Dad just bought a 1948 power wagon in pieces. We were going to put it together over the summer but we never got the parts in time. We'll get to it though!
tell you what, them old powerwagons can pull/haul anything, and go anywhere.... but they only have one speed:slow lol..... but sometimes driving in low is kinda fun
Love Dodge's, my 90 ram has gears that low too. In fact, I can get out and walk faster than it can creep. With the throttle body it just keeps on running and running. There never was a better built 4x4. I don't really like the new rams though.
Ummmm...to each his own, but not everyone like sthe same thing. The only way a vehicle is ruined is when it is not taken care of, not because someone had an engine preference. How old are you again?
Hey, love the PW, but PLEASE grind the valves so it stops putting in the exhaust. Do it before you crack the block because you let it overheat the exhaust valve seat too much. I can tell by the sound it leaks a bit. Not real bad yet, but it's moving that way.
sweet truck....working like they were built to work. I will admit though, I got a little nervous watching it go over that bridge!! Keep on truckin buddy!!!!
my friend has 1954 Dodge Power Wagon same one and he is restoring it. Its all military looking when he gets it all fixed up I am putting it on Webshots I just love them trucks they are man tuff is that a 230 cubic inch six in that?
There was some who sell the brake disc kit conversion for about $500 USD, I think the page was uglytrucking doc com, stock brakes are scary lol! i dont know how are you doing to brake with suck a heavy truck and loaded, with the stock breaking system. But nice PW you have there.
has anybody put a 6bt cummins out of a late model dodge into one?

throw a 1999 12 valve cummins in it and throw a 5 inch stack
porkchopn203 4 years ago
i hope that you don't mean a 1999 dodge 12 valve, seeing as how they didn't put 12 valves in rams that year; they used 24 valve ISB's
