I've wondered the same thing

I was told to check the inside of the two compartments on the side of the bed, and see if they are rusted out or not, also as NDT said check the battery box. I have been told that tailgates are rare in certain parts of the country, due to many fire depts using them and taking the tailgate off...

I am an eagle scout (2006) myself, so I love seeing this type of thing. My troop was huge for the area (50 kids) when I joined as a 6th grader, and then the chartered organization decided they didnt want us anymore...so they sold the building we were housed in, and moved! Then when they...

Lucky man!! I'd kill for that power wagon you've got in the picture...

Very cool truck! I agree however, kinda erie to think about what it was used for...but makes perfect sense!

Finding someone to move its always the "fun" part...went through this myself last week! Best of luck, if I was in the area I'd at least come out to help you chain it down

Lucky man! Can't wait till I can get mine out and about like that

Very cool rare truck! Look forward to hearing about it as you dig into things Welcome to the site

Thanks for the offer! I haven't really figured out what route I am going to take with the distributor/oil pump yet...when the truck was running it seemed to sound OK; I haven't been in the engine so I can't really say for sure whether or not the previous owner changed the oil pump out! If I...

I took a couple pictures of the set up today; Its hard to read but the plate on it says 'Chrysler 1889598' I'm assuming that this is from a civilian power wagon...haven't researched into it yet!
