1948 DODGE POWER WAGON
THIS 1948 DODGE POWER WAGON IS IN BEAUTIFUL, MINT CONDITION.
MECHANICALLY SOUND, THERE IS NO RUST ANYWHERE. OAK WOOD BED AND TRIPLE
COATED WITH MARINE VARNISH. TRUCK WAS RE-PAINTED ABOUT 13 YEARS AGO AND
STILL LOOKS GREAT. IT HAS A DIRECT-DRIVE 8 TON WINCH IT DOES WORK.
OVERSIZE MICHELIN RADIALS LOOK GREAT AND GIVE IT A BIT MORE SPEED. I
CAN'T SAY IF IT HAS THE ORIGINAL ENGINE, BUT IT IS A CORRECT 230 CUBIC
INCH FLATHEAD STRAIGHT SIX. THE ENGINE IS VERY STRONG, DOESN'T BURN A
DROP OF OIL, AND THE TEMPERATURE STAYS AT 160' NO MATTER HOW LONG IT
RUNS IN THE HEAT. THE 4-SPEED TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTHLY (AS LONG AS
YOU KNOW HOW TO CLUTCH - IF NOT, GET OUR GRANDPA TO TEACH YOU HOW). IT'S JUST A BEAUTIFUL TRUCK THAT TURNS
HEADS EVERYWHERE IT GOES. IF YOU'RE SERIOUS ABOUT OWNING A SOLID,
ORIGINAL POWER WAGON, YOU WON'T FIND A FINER EXAMPLE OUTSIDE OF A
MUSEUM.
