Registered as 1947, this Dodge Power Wagon was later identified by Steve Arndt of Vintage Power Wagons in Fairfield, Iowa to be a first series (1945-47) WDX Model 1-ton Civilian Power Wagon. On file is a dating letter from the American Auto Club UK confirming the year of manufacture as 1947 and the power unit as a 230ci (3,770cc) six-cylinder petrol engine. Distinguishing features include four rectangular stake pockets on each side of the rear bed for a hard cover, and a round speedometer with rectangular gauges either side that have the instrument lettering on the glass instead of the face of the gauges.
Imported by the present owner from Montana in 2021, having had single family ownership from new, this Long Box Power Wagon was restored some 30 years ago and more recently has benefited from a new battery and all new brake wheel cylinders and shoes from Vintage Power Wagons. Although not driven extensively in its current ownership, the truck performed well when tested on private land. We are advised that the 94bhp sidevalve six runs well, testifying to the toughness and longevity required by the municipal authorities, fire departments, ranchers, farmers and others who bought these Dodge 4x4 trucks. Offered with a handbook and V5C Registration Certificate.
