Wow, you are so lucky to have that ol girl, she is really a beauty like a moving museum, I feel like I went back in time.
Now that is a TRUCK, I wish they never stopped making them so soon, don't see any around SW Pennsylvania, why did I buy one when I was younger, bummer :-) Hold on to that Power Wagon you have a great classic :-)
Thank you, Mike. Actually ironic that you haven't seen one, yet. They are generally more rare in the southern states (where humidity and rust are prominent). However, there was a great deal of work put into this truck. It has been in my family since the 1960's, and there are no future signs that it will go -- so no worries.
+Michael Fisher They stopped making them so they could concentrate on making trucks that last 10 years.
That has to be one of the most amazing looking trucks i've ever seen. I want one.
@snillocl If you think thats low, i saw a 91 dodge d250 with a cummins and it had a 7.11:1 rear axle. It was used in the military for towing airplanes
If Dodge would bring these back into production, they would "fly" off the showroom floors😎
That is one beautiful truck! Looks great and sounds really nice!
Gorgeous restoration. Well done!
Very well done! We have one that is forsale 10 hours away in Fort Liard, makes me want to go and jump in my '89 Power Ram and go fetch the thing!
Wow that's a beautiful vtruck
Slow yet extremely powerful! You could pull a house offf it's foundation with one of these! This truck is aHOSS!
i llearned how to drive in a 1949 dodge 2 ton truck ,the tranmission whine and the starter i will never forget
Excellent truck good luck with it.
hey nice truck my grandpa would love to drive it.
~ Beautiful work on this, Chance! I love it that it hasn't been bastardized with idiotic things like high back bucket seats or some hideous gaudy paint job.

( ;-} >
I wish I could get my hands on one of those
@D13fledermause "Power steering for sissies" haha not when you've been 4x4-ing for 10 hours straight it ain't ...I don't know how old you are but I tend to find the older I get the more I appreciate things designed for sissies like power steering, bucket seats, air conditioning :P These old trucks just run and run and run and they were beautiful and had tons of workmanship and engineering (for that time) built into them. They really are works of art compared to assembly line vehicles of today
Love the mention of driving in the uk . Driving lessons over here teach you to keep your hands at 10 and 2 on the wheel (like a clock face) and feed the wheel thru your hands.
Its definatly NOT safer.
Beautiful old ride, love the early Power Wagons to death! They just needed power steering :P Love Stacy Davids Sgt Rock, dying to build my own version of that monster ...but streetable and without the machine guns.
@cooperautosales no, it's not a stock color. originally, this truck was green (it was the dark, bell telephone green, i think).
Anyways, my uncle started the project and was going to paint it tan and brown, but once i got it, i just made it tan and black... just because many of the parts were already tan.
@enterBJ40
Around 1:08, i put the transmission into neutral and coasted down the hill.
At 1:16, you can see and here me rev up the engine and drop it into gear.
Thanks, the colors took a lot of work, and we were (as all are) super nervous how they could come out
That Dodge is so fucking sweet
@dalekrueger yep. I did for all of this December because our family didn't have an extra car, yet. I still have it, and people at school get mad at me, now, because I drive a Jeep Wrangler. However, I'll start taking it around again when the weather warms up. December was miserable. I can deal with no radio, Power steering, and a nonsynchronized, but the lack of heater almost drove me to insanity
the flathead always makes it sound like you're lugging it.
+wysoft I think those power wagons weighed like 4 tons, that's a lot of weight for a wheezy old flathead six.
AWESOME!!!
Man that's cool.
they all have that rattle of the transfer levers , very nice dodge did you do a restoration on this truck
Kid" s Parents Probably Bought the truck Fully REstored For him ! hah , Look at the Houses and Area HE lives in ! Great Truck , Though , I WORKED EIGHT YEARS to Restore ( Myself) My Power Wagon : ) Hope he TAKES CARE of it ...
awesome
I love it
We got ours from Vintage Power Wagons.
I always wonder what the mileage on the older power wagons? Great truck also.
That is a sweet resto,did you do it all yourself?I have a 1950 B-2,dragged it out of the woods last fall...sent the engineblock out for valve job this week...Ihope someday it looks as good as yours.Have you entered it in the PW registry at T-137?Mine is # 685.
@JSdodgem37 hmmmm.... Good point. That would make sense, and thank you
@snillocl I had a some help from a few others, but I did most of the rebuilding part
is that a stock color? i have a 48 and a 51, i wish thay were done a looked as nice as yours. thank for the ride!
do you ever drive this beast to school?
Кажется я знаю из чего делали газ 52
What do you think of that 5.83 gearing,when I hear you take off in the vid I could really hear that she's geared right down,1st must be supergranny!Ever think about putting a 4.89 in her?
hey chance maybe u can help me i have a 1946 fargo power wagon can u tell me please where u buy the tapestry of the interior body
@danraich Unimogs have 7.56
@deepkeel65 Thanks, I appreciate it
Poor little rich boy.
Seatbelts? At the time they didn't have seatbelts stock...
At 38 miles an hour in a dodge. They were built in America during a time cars were built right. I am pretty sure that the other car you hit will be totaled.
@snillocl Hahaha, I've considered it, but I feel it wouldn't be a worthwhile investment, because the car i more of a weekend car
lets get some work done!
@snillocl Yep, that's me!
i like power wagon
it is in car town
i'm not quite sure but i didn't saw you doing "double clutching" when shifting...why? as far as i know your New Process transmission are not sinchromesh.
BTW: nice truck with nice color scheme.
if he's double clutching it's BECAUSE the trans. in a non synchromesh trans, i.e. all spur gears. so you need to double clutch in order to avoid gear clash. if it were a synchromesh trans it would have helical gears, except 1st (compound low) and therefore wouldn't need the double clutching in order to allow the geartrain to slow enough for the gears to mesh.
i here you rear end wine hehe mine does too haha
Yep, that's me
basically a tractor with a pickup bed
@beatleboy9020001 4 speed but first is a granny gear
Nice truck. Did they ever make these in diesel?
Robert Ramirez in the 50s? Not a chance. Lol
3 speed?
I see you registered already....You're # 678 huh?
@JSdodgem37 Hahaha. Go check out powerwagonadvertiser(Dot)com -- This is what it's all about, and I surely couldn't have rebuilt this without their advice and help
Awesome. However , seems to be a fish out of water in that yuppie neighborhood.
Engine Dodge D5

Your seat belt isn't on? I'm pretty sure you wouldn't survive anyway XD
Hand over hand??? WTH???? you are not suposed to do that.....

Awesome !!!
