- What a treat to hear that 1947 Dodge Power Wagon running. This beast went from Oregon farm truck to wrecker to a restored blue beauty. We found "Ol Blue" at the Oregon Mountain Cruise in Joseph, Oregon.

Back in 1974 I worked in a Ford Garage in Montana...the local Fish and Game brought in a similar Dodge Power Wagon needing a brake rebuild, which I performed. Test driving the truck I was amazed to see a grand total of 4500 miles on the odometer. The truck had a small fishtank mounted in the rear and was used once a year to plant fingerlings in a nearby lake...oh how I wanted that truck!
love the flat fenders. i did some repairs on a '54 for a customer and he never came to pick it up, so i drove it daily for 6 months!
That's a mighty sweet truck! Well done to the owner, and thanks to Dennis and the MyClassicCar crew for the video.
Beauty. Dodge pickup truck was uses by the military. It had two front seats and wooden benches on either side.Dipper was next to pedal as bigger as a battery cell.

A Cummins swap would be perfect for this. It could even look the part in that engine compartment. Need so torque to push that much weight around.
We put a 318 in ours. Lol call her ol heavy.
That’s what Legacy Classic Trucks does with their restorations. Can’t beat diesel torque
I love the dodge power wagons 💕
I love my '99 Silverado & mid to late '70s F-150's of which I had 3 but man.......The late '40s / early '50s Powerwagon's are the coolest pick-ups ever built.
Love the truck and they were a thing of beauty. Remember them from Lassie TV Show
What a fabulous truck. Well done Sir. Dennis thanks or another great video.
Awesome power wagon! That is a beautiful truck, glad to see it still on the road! Take care.
The power wagon always looks like it's looking for work!
That's one of the very few Dodges I'd rock. My Dad has an ole 39' International that's looks put it to shame in my opinion, but very cool truck, and I'm sure it's much more capable. The pop out windshield and hood scoop make them a cool ride in the heat.
I remember in the 60s when you could buy one as surplus for $500. Amazing vehicles
In 1969 a friend bought a 1948 PW, used it until c.2000..... in the Santa Cruz Mountains and Last Chance Road/ Big Basin park, which burned last year. Man, the steering was heavy. And with the flat head engine she was slow.
Simply gorgeous ..!!!!!
You my boy, BLUE!

I’ve been trying to find this clip for months! I’m a Power Wagon fanatic. Thanks for posting it
it looks so off road even today!!!!!
My Dad had a 51 Dodge Power Wagon that started life as an ambulance for the army. It still had the folding beds hanging on the walls in the back when he got it. It was totally sealed so it could run underwater. As long as the driver could breath, that wagon would run. It pulled air for the engine from the headliner. All the lights, bearings, everything was sealed with gaskets and O-rings. I loved that old thing.
That is one fine truck. Love that blue color. Mr. Blue is King of The Road. Roger Miller would have loved this truck. Power Wagons lived up to its name. Dodge. Depend on it.
Wow!
I have a 1947 WDX Powerwagon San Leandro CA built too , this one is a bit nicer than mine. I need to get to work on mine. Old Blue is a beauty!
Off road beast but too beautiful for off road.
Awesome truck! Thanks for taking the time to show it to us! Sincere regards!
Beauty of a truck, love to have one, but what a misnomer "Power Wagon" is. Six cylinder flathead indeed.
Thanks Dennis and company. Love that truck!
Better than my new computerized Ford
Love the licence plate
Amazing pickup!
That's what I want.
