Looking for a mechanical beast? Something not quite civilized and
definitely not vanilla? Come by MotoeXotica Classic Cars and take a
look at this 1942 Dodge Power Wagon 4x4 Truck. This example was
professionally built at a muscle car restoration shop as a shop
truck and wears a Victorino's Garage livery. The green paint has a
massive amount of patina that lends the truck character. The
truck's windows are in decent condition; however, the driver's side
window is cracked. The lights, however are in very good order,
including LED taillights, the factory foglamps from a 1952 Mercury
and a spotlight on the driver's side. This truck's bodywork is
solid and straight, the engine bay is tidy and the rear bumperettes
from a 1952 Mercury really stand out. Dual exhaust stacks stand
behind the cab. The truck rolls on Power King tires, size 9.00-16
LT. Each tire is wrapped around a black steel truck wheel. The
tires are in decent shape while the wheels look great. Toolboxes
rest behind the cab. The truck has a custom bed and new wood; the
bed is date correct but has been shortened to line up over the
wheels and wheelwells. Under the vee'd hood is the original,
rebuilt 230 CID flathead inline six-cylinder. The motor has
received a full tune-up, a rebuilt carburetor and it breathes
through dual exhaust stacks. Other features include all-new
Painless race car wiring and a 12-volt electrical system. Mated to
the engine is a four-speed manual transmission. All of the truck's
running gear is reportedly original. Inside, the truck's cab is a
hodge-podge of materials. The bench seat looks like it came from a
1980s-era Cadillac or Lincoln. The carpet, headliner and
three-spoke steering wheel are all in mediocre order. As is the
instrument panel, with its cracked speedometer face, and inner door
panels. The civilian Power Wagon continued the lineage of limited
production Dodge four-wheel drive trucks from the 1930s that proved
basic four-wheel drive design concepts, primarily for the military.
Mechanically derived from Dodge's 1942-1945�3/4-ton WC
series�military trucks, the Power Wagon was introduced in 1946 as
the first civilian production 4x4 truck. During its development
phase, it was initially named the WDX General Purpose Truck, a name
still used on some of the preliminary materials handed out by Dodge
before sales began in March 1946. The 'W' was a continuation of the
1941-1947 model year series, followed by a 'D' instead of a 'C',
because the civilian truck was a 1-ton rating instead of the Army's
?3/4-ton and the 'X' was added to indicate four-wheel drive, as
opposed to all previous civilian two-wheel drive models. Getting in
the driver's seat of this truck is a different commitment than most
other vehicles. You don't drive this truck to be incognito; you do
it to be the center of attention. Stop by MotoeXotica Classic Cars
