Vehicle Description
1985 Dodge Ram Power Wagon well documented, 112,000 genuine miles
traveled. It would be awesome to have it restored but may be more
fun to re-body it with an older Power Wagon! It was in really
pristine condition, as far as the body goes, until the government
decided to scrap it. Some of the motor pool flunkies banged it all
up with a forklift. They punched a hole in the fuel tank and
drained the engine oil. Our government at work, DUH! Anyway my
friend was able to rescue it from the crusher and preserve it. The
bed is pretty bent and it may be easier to replace it than pound it
out. The cab isn't that bad. The geniuses at the motor pool put a
cable over the cab and tightened it down bending the drip rail and
the door just a bit. I have a body man working to fix the door and
drip rail. Everything is there. Nothing missing except the Power
Wagon badges. You can still see where they were. The 360 V8 with a
4 barrel carb, runs good although the floats are sticking in the
carb. We repaired the hole in the fuel tank and added 5 gallons of
premium gas. This is an awesome 42 year old truck with an
incredibly low amount of miles on the odometer. It 112,000 miles. I
have the paperwork, from the Navy to prove it! Ther old gal needs
some TLC still. The driveshaft is bent from the forklift loading
it. We added a bunch of new parts. Battery, battery cable and ends,
distributor cap, electronic module, voltage regulator, and some
misc. parts. There was no power to the ignition so Justin wired in
a second switch and now it fires right up. There is no title for
this truck. The military doesn't take title to them. A bill of sale
will be included. The truck must be viewed by the DMV for
verification of it's existence then they issue a brand new title.
Fairly easy process, Or use it just for the drivetrain and build
your 1965 Dodge pickup into a Power Wagon using genuine MOPAR
stuff! condition: good cylinders: 8 cylinders fuel: gas odometer:
