Simply Awesome 1952 Dodge Power Wagon B-3PW Pickup
New to our Benicia showroom is this beautiful 1952 Dodge Power
Wagon B-3PW 1 Ton 2 Door Pickup with grey exterior paint, black

stand out four wheel drive custom pickup features a 318 cid V-8
engine bored 60 over along with a 650 cfm carburetor and a 518
Automatic transmission with overdrive. With big Toyo 37.5 tires, a

alternator, and a custom pulley system, this '52 pickup is an
amazing classic that's just as impressive on or off road.
Additionally, this 1952 Dodge Power Wagon Pickup has been very
nicely modernized with a nice stereo system, heating and air
conditioning, disc brakes, a manual overdrive switch, an electric
winch, dual Odyssey 34-PC1500T backup batteries, Dynamat Extreme
insulating, a custom wiring harness and so much more. This amazing
build has to be seen in person to truly appreciate.
Extensive Customizations During Nut & Bolt Restoration
This 1952 Dodge Power Wagon B-3PW Pickup spent the majority of its
life with two different owners and was discovered by a father/son
inside an old barn in Dublin, California back in 2012. After
convincing the 2nd owner to sell it to them, they spent some time
getting this beautiful classic running again and enjoyed for a
short time it in its original condition. They were a little
frustrated with the top speed of 40 MPH on the highways, however,
so they slowly started a restoration to replace the drivetrain with
something more reliable and fuel efficient.
As most collectors already know, adding a significant power upgrade
would require extensive modifications to the suspension, axles and
the transfer case. The current owner teamed with Woodies 4x4 in
Washington to rebuild the rear end with a Dana 60 and a 1 ton front
end. Both received 456 gears, which make cornering a breeze. A
professional fabricator also helped plan the chassis modifications,
which included new side boards, rear fenders, a headboard,
tailgate, running boards and oak planks for the bed. The wood
received 4 coats of Poly with a spray satin finish (top and
bottom). The cab and doors also received extensive work smoothing
out the old dents, along with the original crank-out windshield.
All nuts, bolts and washers are stainless steel grade 8.
Once the body and drivetrain were fully restored, the last step was
sending this beautiful pickup to Joe Deb Upholstery in Redding,
California. The cab was completely sealed with insulation before
the liner and carpeting were installed. GPS style Speedhut gauges
was also added. The flawless two-tone paint was the final upgrade
and this 1952 Dodge Power Wagon takes your breath away in
person.
Phenomenal Ride Quality both On & Off-Road
In terms of its present condition, this 1952 Dodge Power Wagon
B-3PW 1 Ton Pickup shows almost no visible signs of wear to the
immaculate body lines, glimmering paint and the show quality
interior. The Oak bed is also exceptional so this custom pickup is
definitely show quality and an excellent blend of classic and
modern. The interior in particular stands out with subtle, tasteful
upgrades that fit the quality of this build perfectly. You'll find
that the engine compartment and the engineering in general are just
as impressive.
Out on the open road, this 1952 Dodge Power Wagon can cruise at 70+
MPH down the highway or the California coastline with excellent
acceleration and handling. The upgraded disc brakes also provide
ample stopping power while the Dana rear axle delivers excellent
torque. It also offers exceptional off-roading capabilities as well
with excellent ground clearance and all the accessories you'd look
for in a quality 4x4.
Outstanding Overall Condition Both Inside & Out
Overall, this 1952 Dodge Power Wagon B-3PW Pickup is in tremendous
condition and one of the most outstanding one-off builds we've ever
seen. With exceptional build quality and extensive receipts showing
everything that went into this six-figure build, you simply will
not find a more impressive show-stopping example anywhere in the
country at this time. For more information about this vehicle,
