Classics Trucks Revealed: 1963 Dodge Power Wagon pickup still going strong

[@deepkeel65]

Grew up hunting in one from the early 50's. No seat belts, straight gears - no synchromesh. 6-volt electrical system. Vacuum-operated wipers. Starter button on the floor. No power steering. No power brakes. Drum brakes, but going downhill they were geared so low they didn't need better brakes - just take your foot off the gas, and they slowed right down to a crawl, if you were in a low enough gear. Manual hubs. Gas tank behind the seat - and Dodge was STILL doing that as late as the mid-60's! We had one in the Coast Guard, a std pickup, '65 or '66, that leaked. Dearly love those old Power Wagons. A ton of torque and ground clearance that puts any factory 4X4 today to shame. Wish the engine and gears could be heard in the video. That low-range gear whine is sweet music, burned into my heart & brain.

Wish trucks were still made like this! Purpose built, not for pleasure!

I'm a Ford guy but that has to be one of the best looking old truck. Looks like it was made to get the job done. I hadn't realized that they made it for so long. When I saw this video I was like, what? This is the same truck as back in the 40's. This thing is just screaming for a Cummings

[@dannoquin7322]

It looks fun to drive. My '40 half ton is all torque too. It has a 218 CID.

Great restoration. The go anywhere, anytime rig!!

[@IAMRONIN]

What a beautiful truck!

[@Valor_73737]

I once owned a '75 Power Wagon! Although very tough, it was not in the league of one of these.

[@jackbegley1]

Saw this thing on /r/trucks, nice to see the guy who owns it. He looks just like I expected him to!

[@RichieD088]

[@johnhansel6351]

I learned to drive in a ww2 army surplus Dodge power wagon. My uncle Steve dealt in war surplus vehicles in Central PA. He just handed the vehicle

[@johnhansel6351]

Over to me and said to stay on the fields. Always liked the Power Wagons.

[@SwPiotrek]

Very cool truck!

[@donnatanner359]

i've had a PW sense 1978, if there is snow and ice or ever mud where i need to go i take the PW. i always take a long bar with me to clear things that get stuck under the fenders i.e. rocks, mud hondas and such. long trips are boring.

[@joshuamcinnis7470]

Thank you Fast Lane Truck. Now do the new version please.

[@TheCarCrazyGuy]

[@2424Goldie]

I see this is a re upload! Very nice truck!

[@Lexolo999]

I want to see that off road or in the snow!!!

[@Ted_Stryker]

THAT is a truck, sir!!

[@alanstrong55]

Power Wagon lived up to its name. Install a 360 4 bbl motor and you get guts and speed.

[@tritchie6272]

For the 2018 HD trucks they should borrow this look but use modern tech!

[@mayyaah]

I was wondering about this truck.. I saw it a couple of times in pictures cruising in Arabia's sand dunes!!.. yeah black and white images back in the good old dayd...60's
