Description
Lot #781 - This 1951 Power Wagon is the original Dodge 4-wheel drive truck that has earned a reputation for tremendous pulling power and stamina. It is from Emmet County, Estherville, Iowa and is a one owner Power Wagon prior to this vintage restoration. The restoration was a total frame-off high-quality rotisserie build for this complete matching-numbers original Power Wagon. The project included stripping the frame to bare metal, blasting all jambs, and hard to reach areas of the body. It is powered by the original, but completely restored, 230ci inline 6-cylinder engine with 2-speed transfer case located behind a 4-speed manual transmission. Other equipment includes a front-mounted Badland 9000lb electric winch, all-new wiring, brake lines, hoses and fuel lines. It has also been converted to a 12-volt electrical system for more reliability. Wheels are original split wheels with Super Lug military tires. The body has been beautifully painted a two-tone gloss black and metallic Willow Green that has a mirror-like finish. The interior is standard Power Wagon fare with the correct fiberboard headliner, original gauges, data plates and metal floor. However, the bench seat has been upgraded to a two-tone look giving it a bit of comfort. Custom rubber mats were also cut to fit the uniquely shaped floors of the Power Wagon. The bed is paneled with new oak wood stained walnut to compliment this builds design.
