1978 Dodge Power Wagon 1/2 ton four review from North America
"One ugly, tuff, old goat"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have done nothing except routine maintenance, unless I went stump jumping and accidentally tore up something.
General comments?
My old Dodge Power Wagon just won't die!
I am extremely hard on it and have used it all its life as a farm truck.
Still running the factory engine, transmission, transfer case, and both axles.
Rusted out from the headlight to tailight, floor to ceiling, fun to drive.
Everyday driver, weekend warrior.
