1952 Dodge Power Wagon! This is a truck we�re very excited to have
in our inventory. As far as we�re concerned, this is about as cool
as trucks get. With four-wheel-drive, a winch, and a tough-as-nails
flathead six-cylinder, it�s pure utility with the added charm of
the iconic vintage look. We acquired the truck from North Dakota,
where it had been under long-term ownership. The gentleman who
owned it had passed away, and his family, with no desire to keep it
stored, decided to sell it. You do not find these trucks today with
as much originality as this one. Exterior: The body tag/VIN matches
the frame VIN stamp! The truck underwent a thorough mechanical and
cosmetic restoration in 1992, and has remained in excellent
condition since, having been garage-kept. Dark green paint is in
great shape throughout, having clearly been done to a high
standard; door panels were removed for paint, and door jambs,
floors, and side-step all show in excellent condition. They went as
far as refinishing the insides of the door panels, firewall, frame,
etc. This was a full frame-off restoration. We note only minor
scratches on the front fenders and passenger headlight mount, where
the bonnet lid has made contact. These scratches have since been
touched-up, but are visible upon close inspection. The body is
totally straight, with absolutely no dents, dings, or scuffs. Glass
and lights are all clear and crack-free, chrome is well-preserved,
and the wood-lined bed is in great shape. There are no scars from
cargo banging around in the bed, just the nice contrast of stained
wood against the dark green paint. This truck is fitted with the
early-series bed, which is identifiable by the four stake pocket
design, which we much prefer to the later beds. We note the panel
fitment to be excellent all the way around, from doors, to
front-end, and bed. We do not see any patch work on panels, so we
believe this to have been a largely rust free candidate when
restored. Interior: The bare-bones presentation of the interior is
just how we like it. Floors, dash, door panels, and pedal box are
painted, and show very well. Gauges are correct and functional,
with the speedometer center-mounted, aligned with the steering
wheel. Odometer currently reads 62,700 miles. Dark brown vinyl
bench seat is in great shape, as is the headliner, having been
refinished during the restoration. Choke and light switches on the
lower dash do show slight signs of wear, with the white lettering
fading away. The split windshield can be swung out from the bottom
to allow airflow into the cabin, which is a handy feature
considering the truck�s lack of air conditioning. Looking at the
dash and pillars, the interior paint work presents just as nice as
the exterior. All placards remain in top condition offering
instructions on the gear selection, 4WD, and winch. All dash
features function properly, including the windshield wipers, choke,
throttle adjust. The door handles require a little pressure when
releasing the latch. Overall, the interior is very, very nice and
has the slightest bit of patina. Under the Hood / Underbody: Engine
is a correct �52 D42 230cid flathead 6-cylinder unit with a 23�
head, though not original to this truck. While not the original
motor this is an era-correct motor in the same configuration.
Original block would start with T137. Transmission is correct, and
