@weedissafer not really. engines are smoother, they do make more power, but frame construction is not as heavy. They use smaller boxed frames nowdays. Power wagon's also have no real comparison in todays market. They are heavier duty, and were heavier duty than comparable trucks when they were new.. 4x4 before any of the other companies even gave it a serious thought. Kaiser/ Willys jeep was the only other at the time
Just discovered them a couple of years ago. Seen many restored versions displayed on TH-cam. Try not to watch them because they are such awesome trucks. It is true that it is such automotive pornography looking at something you want, but can't have or afford, especially these Power Wagons.
I can hear the flathead six cylinder and the straight cut gears of the manual transmission.sounds good,Ford and GM were way off into the future before they even offered a factory built 4 WD pick up like this here DODGE POWER WAGON and even then they were not as heavy duty as this.
They were built for the war and Dodge continued them for the farm and ranch market afterwards. Few civilians bought them or you'd see more around. The other manufacturers built bigger trucks for the war effort for which there was no civilian market. All the manufacturers made factory 4x4s in the 60s because the market picked up. Were they as ruggedly built? They didn't need to be, civilians never needed a military vehicle, nor would they pay for it. My '66 Chevy K10 is just as capable off road but not as heavily built.
@weedissafer what do you know about engines anyways? are you an ASE certified technician? are you an engineer? I bet you can't even change your own oil. How are modern engines better? what makes them better? I think you should explain to us. Engines built then had thicker cylinder walls, higher nickle content, and pure simplicity. There are many advantages of older engines over new ones. new ones are punched out as cheap as possible to make as much money as possible. THATS IT.
These trucks had no horsepower but could still do the job. Why is it so hard for everybody to understand that? These trucks nowadays have 400 horsepower and 1000 ft/lbs of torque and people feel inadequate if they don't have one. Shit, I'm thinking of taking the V8 out of my square body and putting in a 6 cyl...except it's an automatic
If a old truck ever broke down the engine and all the parts are right there truck now have plastic covers to cover everything! go to jump a dead on my gma Toyota Tacoma and there was two covers i had to take off that where hard to get at.
@weedissafer Back then we wernt Enviroment freaks, so the engines were built better and lasted longer. my car is a 1974 dodge charger. it was stored OUTSIDE for most of its life and the good ole' dodge engine fires up like that. alright? this car wasnt babied. tell me your engines will start after 37 years outside.
Nice truck , but you could put a bigger plow on it ,My town had an old military ambulance they used for years plowing roads and were pushing a 10 ' one way with no problem
@@flight2k5 Well may-be. I had one of these, the WW2 US military version, and never had any problem. I'v been on various forums, never heard about that either ... May be you know better ...

You gotta love a plow truck that cruises through snow at 7 MPH in third gear!
without a doubt one of the most badass trucks on youtube!!!
The only plow truck that is happiest in fourth gear high range and not missing a beat.
That truck looks amazing plowing through the woods!
Looks like a Grizzly Bear coming out of the woods...Awesome!
Beatiful truck and lovely to see it in action...love the scenary...
awesome truck love the plow markers too lol
LOVE THAT TRUCK!!!!!! my fav truck of all time man.......love the vid...good stuff
nice old school rig!!!
Think any truck made today will be working hard when it's the same age as this one?
Don't think so!
That's one hell of a power wagon
I like that with the mason dump body on the back.
Great to see that nice truck being worked.

That truck will kick the shit outa any POS made today...I think they should go back to building them like that
Nice vid!
So cool. Old iron is always better.

Nice to see old trucks still working. And Geez, where do you guys live? Looks beautiful there.
awsome truck.... im in love

😂😂😂😂makes sense take a better more reliable v8 and put a smaller v6 that will get almost the same mpg 🤣🤣🤣😭

I use a 97 Chevy S10..great truck, I only hit 3 mailboxes so far this season.. she slides around a little but does great on sidewalks.
A real truck🤩👍

Military used dodge for well over 20 years only to make the mistake of trying to replace them with the Jeep M715
nice video!!
Back when trucks are tough
@ltdann86 OLD SCHOOL Solid construction all steel none of this carbon fiber shit.
reminds me of the sick truck in jeepers creepers! I want one!
They sure don't make them like this anymore. Too much technology takes away from longevity.
Nice old truck.
Those old PWs are better than 50 new trucks
Awesome!!! Where is this?
There is a reason they are named Power Wagons!!

nice traffic cones :)
Very visible, for marking the ends of your plow.
Nice truck , but you could put a bigger plow on it ,My town had an old military ambulance they used for years plowing roads and were pushing a 10 ' one way with no problem
i have a 1952 dodge m37 with the same plow an system that im rebuildin, is urs a 24, 12 or 6v system?
Same here a 53 M37. Would be cool with plow set up.
Nice work horse. You need a bigger plow on it though ,at least 9 foot.
@ltdann86 how will it kick the crap out of anything made today? The axles on those were not that strong as compared to modern stuff.
I've never heard of axle failure on these trucks ...
@@desertbootguy you haven’t really researched then have you
@@flight2k5 Well may-be. I had one of these, the WW2 US military version, and never had any problem. I'v been on various forums, never heard about that either ... May be you know better ...
What kind of plow?
Do you accept cash?
@itdann86 what is pos?
if that aint the truth i dont know what is
im sorry but the power wagon is to masculine to be referred to as a girl. That is a man!
