Vehicle Description
Welcome to StreetDreamsTexas as we celebrate our 18th year in the
classic and muscle car business. The famous Dodge Power-Wagon was a
civilian adaptation of a four-wheel drive, 3/4-ton military vehicle
which Dodge built in great numbers during World War II. The
civilian version, first offered in 1946, was rated as a one-ton but
was capable of carrying a 3000 pound payload in off-highway
service. Dodge engineered the Power-Wagon to be a self-propelled
powerplant, and it was capable of a wide range of industrial and
agricultural applications. A transmission power-take-off was
available (present here) for driving various items of auxiliary
equipment. Our example features a PTO driven winch that looks like
it could pull a mountain! This truck was purchased in 1946 from
French Tool and Supply Company in Odessa, Texas, which was the
local Mopar dealer. It was immediately sent to Rhodes Welding in
Penwell, Texas for installation of the bed. The truck then remained
on the ranch, owned by the same family, for 71 years! The
professional restoration was performed in Kingsland, Texas by Randy
Printz of Hill Country Rod Shop. The owner stated that he spent
roughly $40,000 on the restoration. The cab sports fresh paint,
good glass, and bright trim that compliments the fresh upholstery
and upgraded Omega Kustom Instruments in the restored dash. The
original 230ci L-head I6 engine has been replaced with another
230ci L-head I6 from an early '50's Dodge M37, which spins the
original 4-speed manual transmission. The entire bed and the floor
of the cab have been Rhino Lined for added protection. This is a
fantastic one-family-owned ranch truck that is looking for a new
family to please. Here's to the next 71 years! Street Dreams is a
full service dealership that can assist with worldwide delivery,
insurance, and financing options.
