Description:

UP FOR SALE IS MY 1955 DODGE POWER WAGON C-3-PW 1 TON PICKUP TRUCK. IM SURE ANYONE LOOKING AT THIS KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT IT IS AND JUST HOW RARE IT IS TO FIND ONE IN THIS CONDITION BUT HEAR ARE THE PARTICULARS ON MINE. I ACQUIRED THIS TRUCK IN 2009 AND IT HAS BEEN STORED IN MY HEATED GARAGE WITH MY OTHER VINTAGE VEHICLES SINCE. IT HAS NEVER SEEN RAIN WHILE IN MY TIME OWNING IT. THE GENTLEMAN WHO HAD IT BEFORE ME WAS SIMPLY PUT A VERY HIGH END MOPAR COLLECTOR AND ALSO HAD IT STORED FOR MANY YEARS INSIDE HIS HEATED WAREHOUSE GARAGE IN CALIFORNIA. I BOUGHT IT AND SHIPPED IT CROSS COUNTRY. THE TRUCK IS ORIGINALLY TOLD TO HAVE COME FROM A NEVADA RANCH AND AS FAR AS IM AWARE IS AN ALL ORIGINAL SURVIVOR THAT HAS BEEN REFRESHED NOT RESTORED. THERE IS NO BONDO ON THIS TRUCK AND IT IS READY AND ABLE TO BE DRIVEN EVERYDAY. I DO HAVE SEVERAL MANUALS THAT WILL GO WITH THIS TRUCK INCLUDING THE OWNERS MANUAL AND SERVICE MANUALS. THE MANY PICTURES ARE PARTY OF THE DESCRIPTION SO PLEASE LOOK AT THEM CLOSELY TO SEE EXACTLY HOW NICE THIS TRUCK REALLY IS!
BODY: THIS ORIGINAL CIVILIAN VERSION TRUCK WEARS ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL BODY PANELS THAT ARE IN GREAT SHAPE. THE OAK / WOOD BED IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE BUT ISNT BRAND NEW. THE INSIDE TRUCK BED WALLS, INNER FENDER WELLS, AND RUNNING BOARDS, HAVE BEEN PROTECTED AND SPRAYED WITH COLOR MATCHED RHINO LINER OR LINE-X. THE BED IS RED, THE RUNNING BOARDS AND FENDER WELLS ARE BLACK. PLEASE SEE PICTURE NUMBER 17 FOR COMPARISON AS YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE RED TEXTURED SPRAY LINER NEXT TO THE RED FINISH PAINT. THE SAME GOES FOR THE BLACK AREAS. THE FLOOR PANS AND FRAME ARE IN GREAT CONDITION WIH NO RUST ANYWHERE ON THIS TRUCK. THE FRONT PTO DRIVEN MU-2 MILITARY WINCH IS FUILLY FUNCTIONAL AND ALSO IN GREAT SHAPE. THE TRUCK ALSO HAS THE REAR PTO PROVISION HOWEVER I DO NOT HAVE THE PTO SHAFT FOR IT TO FUNCTION. THE TRUCK HAS A CUSTOM 2 INCH REAR TOW HITCH RECEIVER INTEGRATED AND FULLY WELDED TO THE CUSTOM STEEEL REAR BUMPER WICH ARE BOTH VERY HEAVY AND STRONG. THE TRUCK WEARS ITS ORIGINAL FRONT WINDSHIELD WHICH DOES CRANK OUT AND WORKS GREAT! THIS TRUCK IS OPTIONED WITH SIDE VENT WINDOWS WHICH BOTH FUNCTION AS THEY SHOULD JUST AS DOES THE ORIGINAL COWL VENT. I ALSO HAD CUSTOM PAINT MATCHED BLACK HEADLIGHT GUARDS ADDED TO THE FRONT GRILLE AS I LIKED THE LOOK. VERY HARD ITEMS TO FIND! THE ONLY REAL FLAW TO THE TRUCK IS IN PICTURE NUMBER 22 WHERE YOU CAN SEE THAT AT SOME POINT THE FUEL TANK WAS SLIGHTLY CRUSHED SOMEHOW WHILE UNDER THE TRUCK BUT IT DOES NOT EFFECT THE FUEL STORAGE, SENDING UNIT, OR GAS GUAGE. THE TANK DOES NOT LEAK AT ALL EITHER.
ENIGNE: THE ENGINE IS A GREAT RUNNING STRAIGHT 6 CYLINDER 230 C.I. THAT WAS ORIGINALLY INSPECTED BY STEVE FOWLER OF POWER WAGONS WEST BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND HAS GREAT COMPRESSION. THE ENGINE AND TRUCK STILL MAINTAIN ITS ORIGINAL 6 VOLT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WITH NO KNOWN ISSUES. THE ENGINE IS TURN KEY / STARTS EASY AND RUNS GREAT.
TRANSMISSION / TRANSFERCASE:

ORIGINAL STYLE 4 SPEED TRANSMISSION WITH REVERSE THAT SHIFTS GREAT WITH NO ISSUES. ORIGINAL STYLE TRANSFER CASE / 2 SPEED, WITH BOTH HIGH AND LOW GEAR SETTINGS FOR FOUR WHEELS DRIVE THAT FUNCTION PERFECTLY AND YES THE 4X4 ALSO WORKS GREAT! TRUCK HAS MANUAL SUPER WINCH LOCKING HUBS.
EXHAUST: ORIGINAL STYLE, SOUNDS GREAT NO ISSUES. GOOD CONDITION.
SUSPENSION: THIS TRUCK IS OPTED WITH THE RARE HEAVY DUTY SUSPENSION PACKAGE MEANING ITS HAS THE ADDED 11 LEAF FRONT SPRINGS SET AND 14 LEAF REAR SPRING SET. ALL SPRINGS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE AND SHOW NO SIGNS OF SAGGING EVER! LOL. THE TRUCK SUSPENSION IS STIFF AND BUILT TO CARRY ANY LOAD.
BRAKES: RECENT FRONT AND REAR STOCK BRAKES ALL WORK GREAT AS DOES THE FACTORY PARKING BRAKE INSIDE THE CAB.
INTERIOR: ORIGINAL STYLE INTERIOR WITH NO RIPS OR TEARS. THE SEAT IS A RECENT RECOVER AND IN GREAT SHAPE, SPRINGS ARE STRONG AND A PLEASURE TO RIDE ON. THIS TRUCK AGAIN COMES WITH A RARE OPTIONED DELUXE CAB INTERIOR, MEANING IT HAS TWO WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND TWO SUN VISORS, DRIVER AND PASSENGER, A DRIVERS SIDE ARM REST AND A ORIGINAL STYLE HEADLINER THAT IS ALSO IN GREAT SHAPE. ALL GUAGES WORK AS THEY SHOULD AND IT APPEARS TO HAVE ALL THE ORIGINAL DATA PLATES THAT ARE IN GREAT SHAPE AS WELL. WHEELS AND TIRES:
ORIGINAL WHEELS WITH RECENT CORRECT TIRES. SET OF FIVE INCLUDING SPARE.
OVERALL CONDITION: I RATE THIS TRUCK ON A SCALE OF ONE TO TEN, TEN BEING THE BEST AS A NICE NINE! IT IS SHOW READY, MAYBE NOT A SEMA TRUCK BUT IT HAS WON MANY TROPHIES FOR ME AT MY LOCAL AREA SHOWS AND IS ALWASY ONE OF THE MOST ORIGINAL SURVIVOR VEHICLE AND DEF THE TOUGHEST MOST RARE TRUCK AROUND! YOU TELL ME WHEN YOU LAST SAW ONE RUNNING DOWN THE ROAD!!!???
SUMMARY: THE POWER WAGON IS AN ORIGINAL CIVILAIN VERSION. THE TRUCK IS OWNED BY A VINTAGE VEHICLE COLLECTOR . I AM ONLY SELLING TO MAKE ROOM FOR A NEW TOY AS I FEEL THE POWER WAGON HAS DONE ITS TIME IN MY COLLATION AND IS READY TO MOVE ON TO A NEW HOME. THE TRUCK WAS REFRESHED PRIOR TO MY BUYING IT IN 2009 AND HAS NO RUST OR BONDO ON IT. IT WAS DEF FRESHENED UP WITH AN EYE TWORD ORIGINALITY AS I CANT FIND ANYTHING THATS NOT CORRECT TO THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY DRIVEN ON A FAIRLY REGULAR BASES TO SHOWS SO THE MILAGE MAY HAVE A COUPLE MORE UPON ARRIVAL TO ITS NEW OWNER. THE TRUCKS PAINT ISNT PEFECT BUT DOES SHOW WELL. IT DOES HAVE MINOR CHIPS AND SCRATCHES HEAR AND THERE (FENDER WELLS , AROUND HOOD AREA) BUT NOTHING THAT CANT BE SEEN FROM JUST A FEW FEET AWAY. THE UNDER CARRIAGE IS CLEAN AND ALSO SHOWS WELL. BUT YES, IT IS A POWER WAGON SO IT DOES HAVE AN OCCASIONAL OIL DRIP UNDERNEATH FROM TIME TO TIME. THEY DIDNT NICK NAME THEM PUDDLE WAGONS FOR NOTHING! LOL.
